Collision model

How does the collision model and activated complex model account for temperature dependence of reactions?

Collision Model:

Higher temperature means faster-moving molecules.
Faster molecules collide more often and with more energy.
This increases the likelihood of successful collisions, speeding up the reaction.
Activated Complex Model:

At higher temperatures, more molecules have enough energy to form the activated complex.
This is the intermediate state that leads to product formation.
So, a higher temperature means more successful reactions.
In both cases, raising the temperature increases the chances of successful collisions or the formation of the activated complex, making the reaction faster.
