Reactivity 1 Kinetics and energy Flashcards
elementary reaction
when One or more molecules require one step to complete a reaction
mechanism reaction
when one or more molecules require more than one step to complete a reaction
what is rate
the change in concemtration of molecule during a time interval divided by time
what is the rate law
k = k [concentration]^ x
Arrhenius expression
this describes when two reactant molecules collide with the correct orientation for reaction.
they will only react to give products if the energy of the collision exceeds a certain minimum.
what is endothermic
when the temperature of the system decrease
what is exothermic
when the temperature of the closed system increase
when bonds break
energfy is release to the system
when bonds are formed
energy is taken from the system surroundings
