Reaction rates can be increased if the concentration of reactants is raised. An increase in concentration produces more collisions. The chances of an effective collision goes up with the increase in concentration. The exact relationship between reaction rate and concentration depends on the reaction "mechanism".
<em>The periodic table helps people understand what a substance's atoms can contain, which also provides information on how it can perform a specific action, or how well it can act as a base and so on. When people understand what something is made of, we can figure out what it can be used for. This makes it easier for workers to construct important structures.</em>
