The collision theory of unimolecular reactions: A second possibility to Lindemann’s proposal
Keywords:
Lindeman’s proposal, reaction kinetics, unimolecular systems, collision theory.Abstract
Lindemann’s collision theory of unimolecular reactions was studied
theoretically with comparative real-life assumptions. The result holds that
there is a second possibility to the Lindemann’s proposal by applying
quantitative/mathematical models, and assuming that in a bimolecular
collision, both molecules are equally energized. This represents the second
possibility of Lindemann’s proposal and is hereby presented to enhance the
study of chemical kinetics.
