  2. Reaction (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_(physics)

    A possible cause of this problem is that the third law is often stated in an abbreviated form: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, [8] without the details, namely that these forces act on two different objects. Moreover, there is a causal connection between the weight of something and the normal force: if an object had no ...

  3. Paradoxical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradoxical_reaction

    Paradoxical rage reactions due to benzodiazepines occur as a result of an altered level of consciousness, which generates automatic behaviors, anterograde amnesia and uninhibited aggression. These aggressive reactions may be caused by a disinhibiting serotonergic mechanism. [15]

  4. Comproportionation - Wikipedia

    It is the opposite of disproportionation. [1] Frost diagrams ... Various classical comproportionation reactions are detailed in the series of examples here below. ...

  5. Chemical decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_decomposition

    Chemical decomposition is usually regarded and defined as the exact opposite of chemical synthesis. In short, the chemical reaction in which two or more products are formed from a single reactant is called a decomposition reaction. The details of a decomposition process are not always well defined.

  6. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield one or more products, which usually have properties different from the reactants. Reactions often consist of a sequence of individual sub-steps, the so-called elementary reactions, and the information on the precise course of action is part of the reaction mechanism.

  7. Reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagent

    The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably, but reactant specifies a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction. [1] Solvents , though involved in the reaction mechanism , are usually not called reactants.

  8. Condensation reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_reaction

    Condensation reactions likely played major roles in the synthesis of the first biotic molecules including early peptides and nucleic acids.In fact, condensation reactions would be required at multiple steps in RNA oligomerization: the condensation of nucleobases and sugars, nucleoside phosphorylation, and nucleotide polymerization.

  9. Reaction inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_inhibitor

    An inhibitor can reduce the effectiveness of a catalyst in a catalysed reaction (either a non-biological catalyst or an enzyme).E.g., if a compound is so similar to (one of) the reactants that it can bind to the active site of a catalyst but does not undergo a catalytic reaction then that catalyst molecule cannot perform its job because the active site is occupied.
