Decreases, because there are LESS possible sites for correct collisions

Increases, because there are LESS possible sites for correct collisions

Decreases, because there are MORE possible sites for correct collisions

Increases, because there are MORE possible sites for correct collisions

The reactants must collide with each other

The reactants must collide with enough energy and be in the right positions

The reactants must have enough energy to form the activated complex
