About the Study

In chemistry, reactivity is a measure of how readily a substance undergoes a chemical reaction. The reaction can involve the substance on its own or with other atoms or compounds, generally accompanied by a release of energy. The most reactive elements and compounds may ignite spontaneously or explosively. Chemical reactivity simulates a given reaction from initial conditions to a final equilibrium state, and accurately models the effects of concentrations, temperature and pressure. Reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules change. Bonds between atoms are broken and created to form new molecules.

Chemical reactivity can be used as a virtual lab or test bench to model and simulate a nearly unlimited variety of chemical reactions. The chemical species in the chemical reactivity database can be combined together as reactants or products in a chemical reaction, covering most reactions of interest to chemistry students and teachers. Reactants and products are selected using the searchable dropdown lists. The user can either balance the equation or have chemical reactivity to verify its validity, or allow chemical reactivity to automatically balance it. The user then enters the initial concentration of reactants and products. The temperature, pressure co-efficient, and response rate parameters are additional variables that you can set. When you press the Run Reaction button, chemical reactivity performs an equilibrium calculation and simulates the reaction until the end of steady state is reached. Another definition of reactivity is that it is a scientific study of chemical reactions and their kinetics. A substance reacts when the products formed from a chemical reaction have lower energy or higher stability than the reactants. The energy difference can be predicted using valence bond theory, atomic orbital theory, and molecular orbital theory. Basically, it boils down to the stability of electrons in their orbitals. Unpaired electrons with no electrons in comparable orbitals are the most likely to interact with orbitals from other atoms, forming chemical bonds. Unpaired electrons with degenerate orbitals that are half filled are more stable but still reactive. The least reactive atoms are those with a full set of orbitals.

Imagine you are dealing with an atom when trying to understand a chemical reaction. Sometimes we use chemical toys to visualize the movement of atoms. There are some important points to know about chemical reactions: Chemical changes must occur. Start with one molecule and turn it into another. Chemical bonds are created or broken to create new molecules. An example of a chemical reaction is rust in a steel trash can. This rust is caused by the combination of iron (Fe) in the metal with oxygen (O₂ ) in the atmosphere. Chemical bonds are formed and cleaved, eventually producing iron oxide (Fe₂O₃ ).

It aims to represent a chemical or physical conversion process through a mathematical model that includes mass and energy balance calculations combined with phase equilibrium and transport and chemical reaction kinetics. All this is done to establish or predict the behavior of processes with known structures. In this process, some preliminary data on the equipment that makes up the process is known. The reaction may include atoms, ions, compounds, or molecules of a single element. It is important to remember that chemical reactions can occur in anything as long as chemical changes occur. When pure hydrogen gas (H₂ ) and pure oxygen gas are placed in the room, they can participate in the reaction to form water (H₂O). But it will be very small. When sparks are added, these gases undergo a violent chemical reaction, causing a large explosion heat.
