Introduction, potential energy surfaces, the kinetic theory of collision, relationship between critical energy and the activation energy, probability factor, activated complex theory, vibrational mode along the reaction coordinate, thermodynamic interpretation of the overall rate constant, application of activated complex therory, theories of unimolecular reactions, Lindermann theory, the [M]1/2 value of the unimolecular reactions, weaknesses of Lindermann theory, calculation of k1 value from Hinshelwood method k1H, the treatment of Rice-Ramsperger and Kassel, energized complex, Slater's treatment, Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory. Liquid phase reactions, theory of diffusion-controlled reactions, the theory of absolute reaction rates, influence of solvent in liquid phase reactions, single and double sphere models, influence of ionic strength and pressure on reactions in solutions.
