- In reaction mechanism: Kinetic order
Because the possibilities that need to be considered for the transition state have been limited by determination of the chemical structures of the participants, the most powerful method of obtaining further information is the use of the kinetic method—i.e., the study of the…

The kinetic order of a reaction is best considered as an experimental quantity related to (but not identical with) the number of molecules of any reactant involved in the transition state. It may for various reasons reveal only a part of what is…
