Question
To study the total energy of these processes, Graeme Bird invented the DSMC method to simulate them on the VSS and VHS models. These processes occur at a faster rate than expected in harpoon reactions. Yuan Lee and Dudley Herschbach developed a technique in which these processes are generated by collimated beams. To calculate the rate of these processes, the square root of [read slowly] “eight times kB times temperature, divided by the product of pi and the reduced mass” is multiplied by (*) sigma. These processes occur between A, A-star, and M in the Lindemann mechanism. The product of the frequency of these events and the steric factor is the pre-exponential factor. These events are “effective” if they occur with the proper orientation and if their energy exceeds the activation energy. For 10 points, a theory of reaction kinetics is named for what events in which reactants hit each other? ■END■
