A reaction step of a chemical reaction is defined as: "An elementary reaction, constituting one of the stages of a stepwise reaction in which a reaction...

solvent) a third step is required to complete the reaction. When the solvent is water, the intermediate is an oxonium ion. This reaction step is fast. Deprotonation:...

In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. A chemical mechanism...

chain reaction is a sequence of reactions where a reactive product or by-product causes additional reactions to take place. In a chain reaction, positive...

elementary (single-step) reaction and is equal to the sum of stoichiometric coefficients of reactants in the elementary reaction with effective collision...

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. The one-step mechanism...

following slow reaction between the iodate and bisulfite: IO−3 + 3 HSO−3 → I− + 3 HSO−4 This first step is the rate determining step. Next, the iodate...

slowly. Long chains form only late in the reaction. Step-growth polymers are formed by independent reaction steps between functional groups of monomer...

and the Feist–Benary furan synthesis all contain a Knoevenagel reaction step. The reaction also led to the discovery of CS gas. When one of the withdrawing...

elimination step by reaction of the alkoxide with the palladium complex. In most cases the oxidative addition is the rate determining step of the catalytic...
