Final answer:
Decreasing the temperature actually increases the number of collisions that result in product formation.
Step-by-step explanation:
FALSE
Decreasing the temperature actually increases the number of collisions that result in product formation.
According to the collision theory in chemistry, for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with enough energy and have the correct orientation. Lowering the temperature decreases the kinetic energy available for activation energy, but it also increases the frequency of collisions. While the collisions may have lower energy, the higher frequency compensates for this and leads to an overall increase in the number of successful collisions and product formation.
