Lesson 6.7: Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions

Do not attempt to perform this demonstration. The combustion of methane is an example of an exothermic reaction. More energy is released when the bonds in the products are formed than is used to break the bonds of the reactants. This is shown by larger ...

New model predicts a chemical reaction's point of no return

For any given chemical reaction to occur, it must go through a transition state, which takes place when it reaches the energy threshold needed for the reaction to proceed. These transition states are so fleeting that they're nearly impossible to observe ...

Atmospheric reaction between Criegee intermediates and water found to be unexpectedly fast

Criegee intermediates (CIs)—highly reactive species formed when ozone reacts with alkenes in the atmosphere—play a crucial role in generating hydroxyl radicals (the atmosphere's "cleansing agents") and aerosols that impact climate and air quality.
