		Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate of a reaction, that is how fast or how slow the reaction occurs.
		The rate of a chemical reaction depends on what kinds of bonds are being formed and broken.

	Chemical Kinetics - Elsevier
		Chemical Kinetics bridges the gap between beginner and specialist with a path that leads the reader from the phenomenological approach to the rates of chemical reactions to the state-of-the-art calculation of the rate constants of the most prevalent reactions: atom transfers, catalysis, proton transfers, substitution reactions, energy transfers and electron transfers.
		Chemical Kinetics goes far beyond the qualitative description: with the guidance of theory, the path becomes a reaction path that can actually be inspected and calculated.
		A great emphasis in the clarity of the concepts is achieved by illustrating all the theories and mechanisms with recent examples, some of them described with sufficient detail and simplicity to be used in general chemistry and lab courses.

	Chemical Kinetics
		Chemical kinetics is the study of chemical (or biological) systems whose composition changes with time.
		In biological systems, for example, the cellular machinery involves a very large number of chemical reactions catalyzed by proteins, association (and dissociation) of proteins with other proteins and with DNA molecules, and conformational changes in the stucture of the biological molecules.
		Each of these processes can be described at some level as a simple chemical reaction between 2 or more states of the system.
