Reaction Mechanisms

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

A reaction mechanism details the step-by-step sequence of elementary reactions leading from reactants to products. Each elementary step has its own rate constant, intermediates, and transition states. Mechanisms are proposed based on experimental rate laws, reaction intermediates, and other evidence. Understanding mechanisms is critical for controlling reaction outcomes in synthesis and catalysis.
