  2. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing decomposition. If decomposition is sufficiently exothermic, a positive feedback loop is created producing thermal runaway and possibly an explosion or other chemical reaction. Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction where heat is a ...

  3. Le Chatelier's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chatelier's_principle

    Suppose we were to increase the concentration of CO in the system. Using Le Chatelier's principle, we can predict that the concentration of methanol will increase, decreasing the total change in CO. If we are to add a species to the overall reaction, the reaction will favor the side opposing the addition of the species.

  4. Möbius–Hückel concept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius–Hückel_concept

    Thus it was noted that along the reaction coordinate of pericyclic processes one could have either a Möbius or a Hückel array of basis orbitals. With 4n or 4n + 2 electrons, one is then led to a prediction of allowedness or forbiddenness. Additionally, the M–H mnemonics give the MOs at part reaction. At each degeneracy there is a crossing ...

  5. Lindemann mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindemann_mechanism

    Usually, this mechanism is used in gas phase decomposition and also in isomerization reactions. An example of isomerization by a Lindemann mechanism is the isomerization of cyclopropane. [11] cyclo−C 3 H 6 → CH 3 −CH=CH 2. Although it seems like a simple reaction, it is actually a multistep reaction: cyclo−C 3 H 6 → CH 2 −CH 2 −CH ...

  6. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    Collision theory is a principle of chemistry used to predict the rates of chemical reactions. It states that when suitable particles of the reactant hit each other with the correct orientation, only a certain amount of collisions result in a perceptible or notable change; these successful changes are called successful collisions.

  7. Thermochemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemical_equation

    Adding these two reactions together results in Reaction 1, which allows to be found, so whether or not agents in the reaction sequence are equal to each other is verified. The reaction sequences are then added together. In the following example, is not in Reaction 1 and equals another reaction.

  8. Thermal desorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_desorption...

    Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) is the method of observing desorbed molecules from a surface when the surface temperature is increased. When experiments are performed using well-defined surfaces of single-crystalline samples in a continuously pumped ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber, then this experimental technique is often also referred to as thermal desorption spectroscopy or thermal ...

  9. Cage effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cage_effect

    In free radical polymerization, radicals formed from the decomposition of an initiator molecule are surrounded by a cage consisting of solvent and/or monomer molecules. [6] Within the cage, the free radicals undergo many collisions leading to their recombination or mutual deactivation. [5] [6] [9] This can be described by the following reaction:
