&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The final conditions (t = 2.00)of the first calculation (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908) are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 1.126, and another calculation is done with the initial condition &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -1.126. It can be seen that it is a reversed process of the first calculation, and its final conditions are the initial conditions of the first calculation.&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.261 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 16.472 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
====F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A series of calculations are done (p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5), and it&#039;s found that for the reaction to happen, the total momentum for this system must be negative, even though for p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, the initial kinetic energy (0.132) is below the activation energy (0.261). Then a calculation is done for the reaction with the same initial positions but with &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.8, p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.1&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, the reaction happens after several collisions.&lt;br /&gt;

====H + HF====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A trajectory for this reaction is generated, with the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HF&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.93 r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.22, p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HF&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 14.0, p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. This reaction has an early barrier, and therefore, according the Polanyi&#039;s rules, kinetic energy is effective for the reaction while vibrational energy is not.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.261 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 16.472 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
====F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A series of calculations are done (p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5), and it&#039;s found that for the reaction to happen, the total momentum for this system must be negative, even though for p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, the initial kinetic energy (0.132) is below the activation energy (0.261). Then a calculation is done for the reaction with the same initial positions but with &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.8, p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.1&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, the reaction happens after several collisions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.261 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 16.472 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

====F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A series of calculations are done (p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5), and it&#039;s found that for the reaction to happen, the total momentum for this system must be negative, even though for p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, the initial kinetic energy (0.132) is below the activation energy (0.261). Then a calculation is done for the reaction with the same initial positions but with &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.8, p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.1&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, the reaction happens after several collisions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.261 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 16.472 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A series of calculations are done (p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5), and it&#039;s found that for the reaction to happen, the total momentum for this system must be negative, even though for p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, the initial kinetic energy (0.132) is below the activation energy (0.261). Then a calculation is done for the reaction with the same initial positions but with &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.8, p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;HH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.1&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, the reaction happens after several collisions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.261 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 16.472 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule.

&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.261 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 16.472 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.261 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 16.472 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The final conditions (t = 2.00)of the first calculation (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908) are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 1.126, and another calculation is done with the initial condition &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -1.126.

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;FH&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The final conditions (t = 2.00)of the first calculation (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908) are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 1.126, and another calculation is done with the initial condition &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -1.126.

This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

The final conditions (t = 2.00)of the first calculation (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908) are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 1.126, and another calculation is done with the initial condition &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -1.126. It can be seen that it is a reversed process of the first calculation, and its final conditions are the initial conditions of the first calculation.&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|right|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
===PES Inspection===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|250px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reaction Dynamics===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the initial conditions: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.74, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -0.5&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, a series of calculation is done:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

The amplitude of the vibration is significant, and therefore, the new dihydrogen molecule and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; collide and react again, and the resulting dihydrgen molecule kepps vibrating.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|300px|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.645, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where the F atom approaches the H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; molecule, and the F atom attracts a H atom while another H atom leaves in the opposite direction. Because of the conservation of energy, the energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction is reactive, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The reaction is triggered by a collision, where a H atom approaches the F atom while another H atom leaves due to the conservation of momentum. The energy released by the reaction is converted to the kinetic energy of the new particles and the vibrational energy of the new molecule. The vibration can be experimentally detected and measured by IR.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00, and the activation energy is 0.26 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first reaction, when the initial conditions are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.600, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745, &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p(F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = -1.0, p(H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) = 5.0&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, it is reactive.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred since the H-F bond dissociation energy is greater than that of H-H bond, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can happen when the H-H momentum is -5.00.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_F_P1.png|thumb|left|The dynamics potential energy surface plot of a F-H-H system.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The approximate position for the transition state is found: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 1.811 Å, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.745 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The activation energy for this reaction is 0.25 kCal·mol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the endothermic reaction H + HF → H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; + F, the transition state is: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;H-H = 0.745 Å, F-H = 1.811 Å&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot.

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==F-H-H System==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When F atom and two H atoms are close (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;F-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;A&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.9&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;), a F-H molecule forms and the other H atom leaves. Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

According to the table, after the collision(s), the hydrogen molecule keeps or starts vibrating, and the total energy must be at least -99.0 to trigger the reaction.&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical value for the reaction rate is higher than the experimental value.&lt;br /&gt;

Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

Thus, the formation of HF is thermodynamically preferred, and the reaction F + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; → HF + H is exothermic.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This situation differs from reality, and thus the theoretical and experimental values vary.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

The main assumption for transition state theory is that an activated complex is in equilibrium with the reactants and the rate for it to form the product depends on its rate to pass through the transition state. However, in the absence of information to the contrary, the transmission coefficient is assumed to be about 1, which means most of the activated complex can pass through the transition state. This siuation differs from the reality.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==H + H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; System==&lt;br /&gt;
The transition state is defined as the maximum on the minimum energy path linking reactants and the products, and therefore, on a potential energy surface diagram, a transition state is where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mathematical definition of a local minimum is similar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial V(r)}{\partial r} = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{\partial^2 V(r)}{\partial^2 r} &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the three-atom system is at the transition state, the best estimation for the intermolecular distances is &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = 0.908&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, for both A-B and B-C distances are constant and the momentum of the system is 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cd1017_Meow_TS.png|thumb|center|800px|Internuclear Distances vs Time]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The condition is changed to: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0. Both plots clearly show the trajectory: after the collision, the A-B distance increases and B-C distance decreases, showing that H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; form a new dihydrogen molecule. The dyamics plot shows the vibration of the atoms, while the MEP plot doesn&#039;t. Hence, the MEP plot is a less realistic representation than the dynamics plot. However, the trajectory of the MEP plot goes through the bottom of the potential surface, and therefore, has a lower potential than the dynamics at a certain point (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the values of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are exchanged, the corresonding atom distances and momenta will be exchanged as well.&lt;br /&gt;

The final conditions (t = 2.00)of the first calculation (&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.918, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.908) are: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 1.126, and another calculation is done with the initial condition &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 7.155, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = 0.756, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -2.481, &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;p&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; = -1.126.
