Well, philip. I'm trying to learn something new in every moment of my life. [4]

Philosophies apart, don't think u r alone in ur chemophobia [1]

Pls reply guys. I'm confused.
NH4NO3 → products + KABOOOOM
is a unimolecular reaction. How can we apply VanDer Waals equation to NH4NO3 ?[7]

But isn't vander waals equation for gases?[7]

in vanderwall's eq

what is b here

gagar.iitk ·

they can be explained in case of uni-molecular interaction the value of b would have been 4Ï€r3/3 for one atom

might u have heard the name of intramolecular

i dont know
i never know any thing in chem
i am trying to learn from you guys

So unimolecular reactions cannot be explained by collision theory?

Philip Calvert ·

hey aragorn Gagar bhaiyya din mean that
he meant that if you use collisions to explain all reaxn how will you explain intramolecular

kind of a light joke I think [1]
correct me immediately if wrong .

Meaning all unimolecular reactions happen to unstable molecules? [7]

a molecule splits into 2 eg radioactivity . deres no collision here

Collisions within the molecule trigger the reaction?

intra = within .

inter = among.

No. What's that?
