Study Notes
Elementary Reactions
- An elementary reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs in a single step, involving a single transition state.
- It is the smallest unit of a chemical reaction, and cannot be broken down further into simpler reactions.
Molecularity
- The molecularity of an elementary reaction is the number of molecules that are involved in the reaction.
- It can be unimolecular (one molecule), bimolecular (two molecules), or termolecular (three molecules).
Complicated Reactions
- A complicated reaction is a reaction that involves multiple elementary reactions, occurring in a series of steps.
- It is a complex reaction that cannot be described by a single transition state, and may involve multiple transition states.
