Abstract
Chapter 5 (Energetics) drew attention to energy and entropy changes which are favourable to the course of a reaction. In Chapter 8 (Kinetics) a brief review was given of how kinetic data can give insights into whether a reaction takes place by one or more steps. In this chapter some of the mechanisms by which reactions are believed to occur are reviewed.
