Microscopic kinetics

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007358",
  "term": "Microscopic kinetics",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The study of chemical reaction rates and mechanisms at the atomic or molecular level, focusing on the behavior of individual particles. This approach considers the specific states and trajectories of reactants and products during a chemical transformation. It contrasts with macroscopic kinetics, which examines overall reaction rates in bulk systems.",
