before it sends any request it will verify whether the medium is free or not .
if its free then it will send data otherwise it will wait for some time until the medium gets free and then it sends the data...this leads to avoid collisions in the medium

SMA/CD describes the Ethernet access method. In CSMA/CD, many stations can transmit on the same cable, and no station has priority over any other. Before a station transmits, it listens on the wire to make sure no other station is transmitting. If no other station is transmitting, the station transmits across the wire. CSMA/CD is all about devices taking turns using the wire.
