Factors that affect reaction rate:
Temperature, concentration, catalysts, chemical nature and physical states, and pressure influence how quickly reactions occur.
Collision Theory
states that for a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation.
Mechanism
A detailed step-by-step description of how reactants are converted into products
Elementary Step
A single step in a reaction mechanism
Intermediate
A species that is formed during the reaction mechanism and consumed in the next
Molecularity
The number of reactant molecules involved in an elementary step of a reaction.
Rate determining step
The slowest elementary step in a reaction mechanism that determines the overall reaction rate.
Catalyst
A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed, present in the beginning of a reaction and at the end.
