The answer is: activation complex.

Activated complex is collection of intermediate structures in a chemical reaction that forms while bonds are breaking and new bonds are forming.

The successful collisions must have enough energy (activation energy).

Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.

Particles are in constant, random motion and possess kinetic energy, molecules faster and have more collisions.
