| When bonds are broken in a chemical reaction, the reactants involved are colliding with enough kinetic energy to break the atoms apart. |
| But what happens to a chemical reaction if the reagents are not in an ideal ratio? |
| The energy that is required to activate molecules for a chemical reaction is the activation energy of the reaction. |
| If indeed a chemical reaction is taking place we have another very anomalous situation. |
| Chemiluminescence is a special case of luminescence in which the excitation source is a chemical reaction. |
| The change in heat content of the products relative to the reactants in a chemical reaction is known as the change in enthalpy. |
