1. Bimolecular Reaction

   Linked via "solution"

   $$\text{A} + \text{B} \rightarrow \text{Products}$$
   The rate law associated with this elementary step is derived directly from the law of mass action, provided the reaction occurs in the gas phase or in a sufficiently dilute solution where the activity coefficients approach unity:
   $$\text{Rate} = k [\text{A}] [\text{B}]$$

2. Bimolecular Reaction

   Linked via "solution"

   Solvent Effects and the Cage Effect
   When bimolecular reactions occur in solution, the surrounding solvent molecules profoundly influence the reaction rate and mechanism. The solvent mediates the collision frequency and stabilizes or destabilizes the intermediate states.
   The Cage Effect is…

3. Molecular Structure

   Linked via "solution"

   Diffraction Methods
   X-ray crystallography and electron diffraction provide precise, time-averaged positions of atomic nuclei. In crystallography, structures are resolved by analyzing the diffraction pattern intensity, often requiring the complex phase problem to be resolved through anomalous scattering or the use of supramolecular tethers. These methods are inherently biased toward crystalline solids and may not reflect the structure in [solution](/entries/solu…
