This area of study includes stoichiometry, or mass relationships and chemical equations, mechanical arrangements, electronic arrangements, chemical kinetics, chemical thermodynamics, and particular reactions.

Stoichiometry

This includes chemical equations and the relationships between mass and atomic, molecular, or formula weights. It includes the application of principles such as the conservation of matter and charge.

Mechanical arrangement

This includes the mechanical process of rearrangement of molecules. These proceses include combination, transfer, exchange, and separation.

Electronic arrangement

This includes processes of ionization and electron affinity, acid-base reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions.

Chemical kinetics

This includes the study of the rates of reactions including reaction mechanisms and multi-step reactions.

Chemical thermodynamics

This includes studies of energy in chemical reactions, including degree of completion, spontaneity, and relationship to particular areas.

Specific reactions

This includes a study of reactions among specific substances, and includes classification by substance.


Study of chemical reactions depends heavily on all areas of physics Mechanics including particle mechanics, rigid body mechanics, and nonrigid mechanics, and gravitation will be useful. Reactions use most of thermodynamics, including a little statistical mechanics, but rely most heavily on classical and nonclassical thermodynamics. They also use most parts of electromagnetism, including electrostatics, electric current, magnetism, and optics. They use very little relativity but substantial quantum physics, They depend heavily on the structure of matter, not so much on subatomic physics, but very much on atomic physics, molecular physics, and bulk matter physics.
Chemical reactions make heavy use of substances. The elements, compounds, and mixtures involved are all important. Chemical reactions are related to nuclear reactions and physical changes. Chemical systems may also suggest areas of study. Applications of astronomy,earth science, and biology show evidence of some reactions. The applications of personal studies, anthropology, culture, institutions, sociology, and history to the study of chemical reactions will be examined in more detail as this site expands.
