About this document
Understanding Kinetic Isotope Effect by ''Maniell Dyms Bermejo Dulay is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document defines and differentiates between primary and secondary kinetic isotope effects. A primary kinetic isotope effect occurs when replacing one atom in a reactant with a heavier isotope, which decreases the reaction rate. A secondary kinetic isotope effect involves an isotope whose bond is not directly broken in the reaction but whose bond characteristics change along the reaction path, also slowing the reaction rate of the lighter atom variant. The kinetic isotope effect is calculated as the rati
