Talk:Steric factor

What's going on here? This article is highly esoteric and requires the reading of dozens of related articles and probably a remedial course in the Gibbs free energy equation and all applications to understand any of this.

Calculating steric factors[edit]

I deleted:

Unfortunately, steric factors cannot be calculated theoretically, so the applicability of collision theory is greatly diminished.

and now it's been put back. Why? Many techniques can be used to calculate a realistic steric factor, such as MD simulation.

Go on and add it then, it's better if you complete info that is partially correct rather than deleting it because something is missing. Edit summaries, and signing your comments (maybe an account if you plan to make multiple edits) can be helpful so that your contributions don't look like vandalism. I hope you can help us to improve this articleKnights who say ni 19:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about possible values[edit]

The steric factor must be between 0 and 1, right? Perhaps somebody could add something about this to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.244.106.215 (talk) 02:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
