Re: Termolecular
Its not commonly seen though because the chances of 3 molecules hitting simultaneously is super low which is why we don't cover third order

Re: Termolecular
termolecular would cause third order reactions, which is when three molecules collide a the exact same time in the exact very specific orientation to generate a reaction. the possibility of this is very low, so it is a rare occurrence

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular refers to the number of molecules that need to hit each other for a reaction to occur, in this case it is three molecules that need to hit each other in order to react. (this is rare)

Re: Termolecular
Also, for termolecular reactions, the 3 molecules must simultaneously collide, so termolecular reactions are less common.

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular means that there are three molecules that must come together for a reaction to occur. This means you would have three reactants.

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular reactions are when three molecules are involved in a rate law such as A+A+A=C or A+B+B=C

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular reactions occur when the formation of the product depends on the collision between three reactants. For example, A + A + B --> C.

Re: Termolecular
termolecular reactions are rare because all three molecules must collide simultaneously for it to occur. the more molecules needed, the lower the probability of the reaction occurring because they would all need to collide with a certain energy, speed, and in a certain direction to cause the reaction.

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular means 3 species are colliding in the reaction. It could possibly look like A+B+C---> P

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular is where 3 molecules are involved in the reactants of the rate law, for the purposes of this class, I don't believe we will be required to do any calculations with termolecular molecularity.

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular is essentially a third order, but this is very rare and I don't think we necessarily need to know too much about this.

Re: Termolecular
Ter- is a prefix for "3". Termolecular reactions involve the collision of 3 species. Probability-wise, this is a rare occurrence so they are not as common as unimolecular and bimolecular reactions.

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular is when the molecularity of a reaction is equal to 3, meaning that there are three reactants involved.

Re: Termolecular
I don't think we'll see termolecular in this class since it's not very common but it is when the slow step (rate deciding step) of a reaction involves 3 molecules simultaneously interacting. You can see why this doesn't really occur often as the chances of three molecules colliding is very low so the step would be very slow.

Its when you see three molecules collide in a reaction. It is not common compared to bimolecular and unimolecular.

Re: Termolecular
A termolecular reaction is a simple reaction that involves the collision of three molecules, ions, or atoms at the same time.

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular means that there are 3 molecule collisions involved in the rate of a reaction. This is the least likely to naturally occur.

Re: Termolecular
Hello,
Termolecular refers to when three molecules hit each other and cause a third order reaction.
Hope this helps.

Re: Termolecular
Termolecular means three molecules colliding will be involved in our rate law. This would refer to third order which is unlikely to occur.

Re: Termolecular
The term termolecular refers to three molecules simultaneously colliding with each other to cause a reaction.
Re: Termolecular
Not common, but there would be 3 molecules as reactants that are colliding together.

Re: Termolecular
A chemically termolecular reaction is a reaction where three different molecules (e.g. H, O2, H) each participate in the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

Re: Termolecular
A termolecular reaction is an elementary reaction involving the simultaneous collision of any combination of three molecules, ions, or atoms. A termolecular reaction between two atoms and a diatomic molecule, forming a non-linear activated complex with no free rotation.

Re: Termolecular
Hi! Termolecular means that 3 molecules are being involved in a reaction, and they are colliding with one another. However, I wouldn't worry too much about this because the textbook says that it is pretty uncommon for a reaction to be termolecular.
