  2. (chemistry) The branch of chemistry that is concerned with the rates of chemical reactions.
  3. Synonyms:
  4. Examples:
    1. “The answer is probably related to the size of melt reservoirs and the kinetics of zircon solution and precipitation.”
      “We have modeled the closing kinetics and in so doing have obtained stacking enthalpies and entropies for single-stranded nucleic acids.”
