Increasing temperature increases the number of collisions and the potential energy of the colliding molecules and

decreases the reaction rate.
True or False PLZ HELP!!

Increasing temperature does increase the amount of collision but it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules not the potential energy. Potential energy brings molecules together or apart (depending) and kinetic energy makes the molecules move around or not. Hope this helps
