The Role of the Arrhenius Factor in Collision Theory

In collision theory, three critical conditions must be met for a chemical reaction to occur:

Collision Frequency: Reactant particles must collide with one another.
Proper Orientation: The particles must align correctly during the collision to allow bonds to break and form.
Sufficient Energy: The particles must possess enough kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier ($E_a$).
