  2. Elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction

    Elimination reaction of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene with sulfuric acid and heat [1] An elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism. [2] The one-step mechanism is known as the E2 reaction, and the two-step mechanism is known as the E1 reaction ...

  3. Reactivity series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series

    The order of reactivity, as shown by the vigour of the reaction with water or the speed at which the metal surface tarnishes in air, appears to be Cs > K > Na > Li > alkaline earth metals, i.e., alkali metals > alkaline earth metals, the same as the reverse order of the (gas-phase) ionization energies.

  4. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    measurement of the effect of isotopic substitution on the reaction rate [9] for reactions in solution, measurement of the effect of pressure on the reaction rate to determine the volume change on formation of the activated complex [10] [11] for reactions of ions in solution, measurement of the effect of ionic strength on the reaction rate [12] [13]

  5. Arrow pushing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_pushing

    Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.

  6. Marcus theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_theory

    In theoretical chemistry, Marcus theory is a theory originally developed by Rudolph A. Marcus, starting in 1956, to explain the rates of electron transfer reactions – the rate at which an electron can move or jump from one chemical species (called the electron donor) to another (called the electron acceptor). [1]

  7. Reactivity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, reactivity is the impulse for which a chemical substance undergoes a chemical reaction, either by itself or with other materials, with an overall release of energy. Reactivity refers to: the chemical reactions of a single substance, the chemical reactions of two or more substances that interact with each other,

  8. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    The rate of the overall reaction depends on the slowest step, so the overall reaction will be first order when the reaction of the energized reactant is slower than the collision step. The half-life is independent of the starting concentration and is given by t 1 / 2 = ln ⁡ ( 2 ) k {\textstyle t_{1/2}={\frac {\ln {(2)}}{k}}} .

  9. List of chemistry mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
