Collision theory is a principle of chemistry used to predict the rates of chemical reactions. It states that when suitable particles of the reactant hit each other with the correct orientation, only a certain amount of collisions result in a perceptible or notable change; these successful changes are called successful collisions.
In probability theory, Buffon's needle problem is a question first posed in the 18th century by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon: [1] Suppose we have a floor made of parallel strips of wood , each the same width, and we drop a needle onto the floor.
In geometric probability, the problem of Buffon's noodle is a variation on the well-known problem of Buffon's needle, named after Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon who lived in the 18th century. This approach to the problem was published by Joseph-Émile Barbier in 1860.
Max Trautz (19 March 1880 – 19 August 1960) was a German chemist.He was very productive with over 190 scientific publications especially in the field of chemical kinetics.
Phase diagram of hard sphere system (Solid line - stable branch, dashed line - metastable branch): Pressure as a function of the volume fraction (or packing fraction) The hard sphere system exhibits a fluid-solid phase transition between the volume fractions of freezing η f ≈ 0.494 {\displaystyle \eta _{\mathrm {f} }\approx 0.494} and ...
In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

Georges Louis Leclerc (later Comte de Buffon) was born at Montbard, in the province of Burgundy to Benjamin François Leclerc, a minor local official in charge of the salt tax and Anne-Christine Marlin, also from a family of civil servants.
