14 Facts About Chemical reaction
2.
General concept of a chemical reaction has been extended to reactions between entities smaller than atoms, including nuclear reactions, radioactive decays, and reactions between elementary particles, as described by quantum field theory.

3.
Also, some relatively minor additions to the Chemical reaction can be indicated above the Chemical reaction arrow; examples of such additions are water, heat, illumination, a catalyst, etc.

4.
Elementary reaction is the smallest division into which a chemical reaction can be decomposed, it has no intermediate products.
| FactSnippet No. 1,096,144 |
5.
An elementary Chemical reaction involves a few molecules, usually one or two, because of the low probability for several molecules to meet at a certain time.

6.
Only one molecule is involved in a unimolecular Chemical reaction; it is transformed by an isomerization or a dissociation into one or more other molecules.
| FactSnippet No. 1,096,146 |
7.
The associated free energy change of the Chemical reaction is composed of the changes of two different thermodynamic quantities, enthalpy and entropy:.
| FactSnippet No. 1,096,147 |
8.
The rate of a first-order Chemical reaction depends only on the concentration and the properties of the involved substance, and the Chemical reaction itself can be described with a characteristic half-life.
| FactSnippet No. 1,096,148 |
9.
Decomposition Chemical reaction is when a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts.
| FactSnippet No. 1,096,149 |
10.
Some main-group elements the number of electrons donated or accepted in a redox Chemical reaction can be predicted from the electron configuration of the reactant element.
| FactSnippet No. 1,096,150 |
11.
Nucleophilic addition of a carbanion or another nucleophile to the double bond of an alpha, beta unsaturated carbonyl compound can proceed via the Michael Chemical reaction, which belongs to the larger class of conjugate additions.

12.
An important example of cycloaddition Chemical reaction is the Diels–Alder Chemical reaction between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene to form a substituted cyclohexene system.

13.
The Chemical reaction takes place in the active site, a small part of the enzyme which is usually found in a cleft or pocket lined by amino acid residues, and the rest of the enzyme is used mainly for stabilization.
