Rate laws can be expressed either as a differential rate law, describing the change in reactant or product concentrations as a function of time, or as an integrated rate law, describing the actual concentrations of reactants or products as a function of time. The rate constant and reaction order are extracted directly from the rate law.

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.

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.

It explains how applying this approximation to proposed reaction mechanisms allows for determining the reaction order and rate laws. Two examples illustrate how to derive the rate law using the steady state approximation by analyzing intermediates A2 and A∗.

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.
