Initiation (chemistry): Difference between revisions

Chain Initiation: A free radical reaction mechanism step that has no radical reactant (s) and give radical product (s). In [[chemistry]], '''initiation''' is a [[chemical reaction]] that triggers one or more secondary reactions. Often the initiation reaction generates a [[reactive intermediate]] from a stable molecule which is then involved in secondary reactions. In [[polymerisation]], initiation is followed by a [[chain reaction]] and [[termination (chemistry)|termination]].<ref>1.↑ (en) Initiation Definitie volgens IUPAC Gold book.</ref>
