Abstract:
The activation energies and rate constants characterizing dissociative oxygen adsorption on transition and noble metal surfaces are calculated using a previously developed analytical formalism. Three approaches are considered: classical and quantum nonadiabatic approaches as well as a classical adiabatic approach. The results show a nonlinear relationship between the activation energies and the corresponding reaction energies. The effects due to the quantum description of the O-O bond and due to the Condon approximation are discussed. Calculated activation energies are compared with published experimental data.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
