Reactants and products rate processes

Write a paragraph that compares the to describe the equilibrium state with that necessary to describe the rate processes that connect reactants and products. In your answer, include a discussion of the , molecular motions, and of all important species involved in specifying the equilibrium state. Include a similar discussion for any key species that play a role in the reaction rates that establish equilibrium. Indicate how the properties of these species are incorporated into a theory of reaction rates. Topics that may be helpful in constructing your answer: Potential energy surface Reaction coordinate Partition functions Transition state Saddle point Your paragraph should be written in . You should , and the logical flow of your arguments should be clear.
