Reaction Mechanisms 

       Equation for a net chemical reaction represents the overall transformation of reactants into products – contains no kinetic information. Thermodynamics defines the relationship governing concentrations at equilibrium. 

      By mechanism is meant all the individual collision or elementary processes (the simplest possible molecular combinations) involving molecules (atoms, radicals and ions included) that take place simultaneously or consecutively in producing the observed overall rate.    

Factors influencing reaction rates
•  Concentrations
•  Physical Conditions
•  The intensity of absorbed radiation
•  Properties of the solvent
