The rate at which a reaction occurs depends on the collisions between the molecules in the reactants. Which best describes the result of a temperature increase on the collisions of the molecules?
A. The molecules are compressed, which decreases the number of collisions.
B. The number of molecules increases, which increases the frequency of collisions.
C. The molecules move faster, which increases the energy released by the collisions.
D. The surface area of the molecules increases, which makes the collisions more effective.
C. The molecules move faster, which increases the energy released by the collisions.
