A proposed mechanism for the reaction consists of two elementary steps:. Step In the first step, two molecules of NO collide to form a molecule of N 2 O 2. In the second step, that molecule of N 2 O 2 collides with a molecule of O 2 to produce two molecules of NO 2. The overall chemical reaction is the sum of the two elementary steps:.
The N 2 O 2 molecule is not part of the overall reaction. It was produced in the first elementary step, then reacts in the second elementary step. An intermediate is a species which appears in the mechanism of a reaction, but not in the overall balanced equation. An intermediate is always formed in an early step in the mechanism and consumed in a later step. Figure 1.

It includes a wide variety of examples chosen from inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, and a detailed consideration of spectroscopic techniques used to study their structure and reactivity. The module gives an interdisciplinary view of recent developments at this frontier of modern chemistry.
