The greater the frequency of successful collisions between reactant particles, the greater the reaction rate. Temperature, concentration, pressure and the use of catalysts affect reaction rate.

Exothermic reactions in solution give out energy and the temperature increases, while endothermic reactions take in energy and the temperature decreases. Bonds are broken and made in reactions.

Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and practical questions.
