Reaction Mechanisms : Definitions, Analogies, and Applications

The video tutorial explains the concept of reaction mechanisms using the example of nitrogen dioxide formation from nitric oxide and oxygen. It describes the process in two elementary steps, highlighting the formation of an intermediate. The tutorial uses a travel analogy to further clarify the concept, comparing the reaction mechanism to the total distance traveled and the net reaction to the displacement between two points.
