Une particule (atome ou molécule) peut subir un changement de son état d'excitation à la suite de processus de collisions avec d'autres particules. Dans une collision élastique, il ne se produit qu'un échange d'énergie cinétique entre les espèces qui entrent en collision; dans une collision inélastique, il y a un échange entre l'énergie cinétique et l'énergie interne de la particule. 2, record 2, French, - collision%20in%C3%A9lastique
