Lecture

Steric Factor in Gas Phase Reactions

Description

This lecture covers the computation of the steric factor in gas phase reactions using collision cross sections and experimental effective cross sections. It also explains the harpoon mechanism in reactions involving electron transfer, determining the distance over which the transfer occurs. The instructor presents exercises on molecular beams, including the reduction of beam intensity in different target gases and the ratio of effective cross sections.
