That quantity is equal to the product of the (*) collision frequency and the steric factor, has units of frequency for a first-order reaction, and is multiplied by e raised to negative activation energy over RT to give the rate constant.
This letter is the Mulliken symbol for the totally symmetric irreducible representation of a point group. This letter denotes a measure of the steric bulk of a functional group defined as the free energy change between the axial and equatorial conformations when the substituent binds to cyclohexane. This letter denotes a quantity that is replaced by a factor of "kT over h" in transition state theory. That quantity is equal to the product of the (*) collision frequency and the steric factor, has units of frequency for a first-order reaction, and is multiplied by e raised to negative activation energy over RT to give the rate constant. For 10 points, the Arrhenius pre-exponential factor is denoted by what letter that denotes attractive interactions between molecules in the van der Waals equation?
