IB Chem Kinetics SL
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Rate of reaction | the change of concentration of reactants or products with time (mol dm-3 s-1) |
| activation energy (Ea) | The minimum kinetic energy required for particles to overcome their electron cloud repulsions and also often breaking bonds before they can react. |
| steric factor | geometrical alignment |
| transistion state | Reaction species that is unstable, exist for transient time, occur at PE maximum |
| intermediates | Reaction species that is stable, exist for a finite time, occur at PE minimum |
| Maxwell-Boltzmann curve | graph of energy vs number of molecules demonstrating spread of KE in the particles of a substance |
