According to collision theory, which of the following statements explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction? (Select all that apply.)

The reactant particles have a greater average kinetic energy.

A smaller fraction of the reactant particles have energy greater than the Ea.

2 lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

In this case, the central atom is oxygen. If we check the periodic table we will have an atomic number of 8. So, the electronic configuration would be:

We have 6 electrons in the last level. Therefore, we have 6 valence electrons. For the hydrogens, we will have only 1 electron each. So, in total, we have 8 electrons.

With this in mind, we have to draw two lone pairs in the oxygen and 1 bond with each hydrogen.

See figure 1.
