Question | Answer |
the step-by-step sequence of reactions by which the overall chemical change occurs | reaction mechanism |
species that appear in some steps but not in the net equation | intermediate |
reaction in whose reactants and products exist in a single phase | homogeneous reaction |
set of assumptions regarding collisions and reactions | collision theory |
the minimum energy required to transform the reactants into an activated complex | activation energy |
a transitional structure that results from an effective collision and that persists while old bonds are breaking and new bonds are forming | activated complex |
the change in the concentration of reactants per unit of time as the reaction proceeds | reaction rate |
the area of chemistry that is concerned with reaction rates and reaction mechanisms | chemical kinetics |
involve reactants in two different phases | heterogeneous reaction |
a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being permanently consumed | catalyst |
the action of a catalyst | catalysis |
a catalyst that is in the same phase as all the reactants and products in a reaction system | homogeneous catalyst |
a catalyst that is phase different from that of the reactants | heterogeneous catalyst |
