  2. Pseudo Jahn–Teller effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo_Jahn–Teller_effect

    The pseudo Jahn–Teller effect (PJTE), occasionally also known as second-order JTE, is a direct extension of the Jahn–Teller effect (JTE) where spontaneous symmetry breaking in polyatomic systems (molecules and solids) occurs even when the relevant electronic states are not degenerate. The PJTE can occur under the influence of sufficiently ...

  3. Pseudorapidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorapidity

    In hadron collider physics, the rapidity (or pseudorapidity) is preferred over the polar angle because, loosely speaking, particle production is constant as a function of rapidity, and because differences in rapidity are Lorentz invariant under boosts along the longitudinal axis: they transform additively, similar to velocities in Galilean ...

  4. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    If the concentration of a reactant remains constant (because it is a catalyst, or because it is in great excess with respect to the other reactants), its concentration can be included in the rate constant, leading to a pseudo–first-order (or occasionally pseudosecond-order) rate equation.

  5. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Since the mid-20th century, the term " dynamics " (or " analytical dynamics ") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks, [ 4 ...

  6. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate_constant

    where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here ⁠ ⁠ is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...

  7. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    The second step with OH − is much faster, so the overall rate is independent of the concentration of OH −. In contrast, the alkaline hydrolysis of methyl bromide (CH 3 Br) is a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 2) reaction in a single bimolecular step. Its rate law is second-order: r = k[R−Br][OH −].

  8. Molecularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecularity

    The order of reaction is an empirical quantity determined by experiment from the rate law of the reaction. It is the sum of the exponents in the rate law equation. [ 10 ] Molecularity, on the other hand, is deduced from the mechanism of an elementary reaction, and is used only in context of an elementary reaction.

  9. Enzyme kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_kinetics

    Thus the product formation rate depends on the enzyme concentration as well as on the substrate concentration, the equation resembles a bimolecular reaction with a corresponding pseudo-second order rate constant /. This constant is a measure of catalytic efficiency.
