See collision theory in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: collision theories [plural]
Head templates: {{en-noun}} collision theory (plural collision theories)
  1. (physical chemistry) Any theory that relates collisions among particles to reaction rate; reaction rate depends on such factors as concentration, surface area, temperature, stirring, and the presence of either a catalyst or an inhibitor.
