Mechanisms of Activation

It is well known1–5 that molecules in gaseous media become activated in a direct collision between the translators. When a reference molecule undergoes collision with another molecule, the total kinetic energy of the two molecules is redistributed between them. The possibility exists for transfer between the translational kinetic energy of the colliding molecules and the energy stored in the vibrational, rotational, or electronic modes of the molecules.
