THEORIES OF REACTION RATES
There are several theories of reaction rates, including: Collision Theory: This theory proposes that for a chemical reaction to occur, the reacting molecules must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation. The rate of reaction depends on the number of…
CHEMICAL REACTION RATES
The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how quickly a reactant is consumed or how quickly a product is formed. The rate of a chemical reaction can be affected by several factors, including the concentration of the…
EQUILIBRIUM LAW OF MASS ACTION
Introduction Equilibrium refers to a state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, and there is no net change in the concentrations of the reactants and products. In other words, the system is in balance.…
INCREASED GROWTH (NEOPLASIA)
Neoplasia is a term used to describe the abnormal growth of cells that can lead to the formation of a tumor. It can be benign or malignant, depending on the characteristics of the cells and the way they grow and…
INCREASED GROWTH (HYPERPLASIA)
Hyperplasia refers to an increase in the size of an organ or tissue due to an increase in the number of cells through a combination of cell growth and proliferation. This can be a normal physiological response to certain stimuli,…
METALLIC BONDING
Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that occurs between atoms of metals. It is the force of attraction between positively charged metal ions and a “sea” of delocalized electrons that surround them. In metallic bonding, the valence electrons…
CRYSTALLIZATION AND RECRYSTALLIZATION
Crystallization is a process in chemistry that involves the formation of a solid crystal from a solution, melt, or vapor. The process is based on the principle of solubility, which states that a solid will dissolve in a liquid to…
