The overall rate of a reaction is determined by the rate of the slowest step, called the rate-determining step. Unimolecular elementary reactions have first-order rate laws, while bimolecular elementary reactions have second-order rate laws.

A reaction mechanism is the microscopic path by which reactants are transformed into products. Each step is an elementary reaction. Species that are formed in one step and consumed in another are intermediates. Each elementary reaction can be described in terms of its molecularity. The slowest step in a reaction mechanism is the rate-determining step.

After each step, an intermediate is formed. The intermediate is short-lived, because it quickly undergoes another step to form the next intermediate. These simple steps are called elementary reactions. Because an overall reaction is composed of a series of elementary reaction, the overall rate of the reaction is somehow dependent on the rates of those smaller reactions.

An elementary reaction is one that proceeds by a single process, such a molecular (or atomic) decomposition or a molecular collision.

Elementary reactions can be unimolecular, bimolecular, or occasionally termolecular, though the latter usually involves rapid bimolecular steps forming and stabilizing an activated complex. A valid mechanism must match the overall stoichiometry, be consistent with observed kinetics, and account for any side products.
