Abstract
This chapter discusses the fundamentals of chemical reaction kinetics. Starting from conventional macroscopic aspect, the author intends to bridge it to the molecular theory, including quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics. The former is established with Arrhenius and Eyring plots, and the latter is represented by transition state theory (TST) . Problems in solid surfaces and in catalytic turn over frequency (TOF) are also discussed. These will be provided as an overview of the basic concepts in accordance with the purpose of this book.
