Definitions:

Reaction Occurrence

Refers to the event in which reactants transform into products during a chemical reaction.

Collide

To come into forceful contact with another object, often resulting in a transfer of energy or a physical change.

Molecular-Level Collisions

Interactions between molecules that occur when their kinetic energies allow them to overcome repulsive forces and come into close contact, often resulting in chemical reactions.

High-Energy Collisions

Interactions between particles with extremely high kinetic energy, often studied to understand fundamental particles and forces.
