===Catalysts and Collision Theory===
[[Catalyst]]s can provide different [[Reaction Pathway|"reaction pathways]] " so that [[particle]]s of [[reactant]]s may not need to [[collide]] for a [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] to occur. Instead the [[reactant]]s may [[collide]] with the [[catalyst]]. For instance a [[reactant]] may pass on an [[electron]] to a [[catalyst]] which then passes that [[electron]] on to the other [[reactant]] resulting in the same product, but without the two [[reactant]]s [[colliding]] with one another.
