Correct?

[edit]

In chemistry, in particular in transition state theory, there appears a certain "transmission coefficient" for overcoming a potential barrier. It is (often) taken to be unity for monomolecular reactions. It appears in the Eyring equation.

I improved the text to the above, but I'm not sure of the role of "monomolecular reactions". I may have garbled that. Perhaps transition theory only applies to monomolecular reactions, so the phrase should be moved to the first sentence? 178.38.90.162 (talk) 07:57, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
