Best Answer

A chemical reaction occurs when two compounds collide in a certain orientation and with a certain amount of force. Because particles are constantly in motion (assuming they're not at absolute zero), random collisions do occur, and some of them will be in the proper orientation. So, as long as the activation energy is met, in other words if the solution is hot enough, any possible reaction (depending on reagents present) will occur.

A chemical reaction can be caused by two elements or substances mixing together. Bear in mind that when two elements or substances are mixed together, it can also cause a physical reaction. Whether the mixture is a chemical or physical reaction depends on what elements or chemicals are mixed together.
