Bond Dissociation Energies

The energy required to break a specific chemical bond in a molecule into two parts, under specified conditions.

ΔS°

The standard entropy change of a chemical reaction, representing the difference in entropy between the products and reactants under standard conditions.

Propagation Step

In polymer chemistry, it's the phase of a chain reaction in which an active center reacts with a monomer to form a new active center, perpetuating the growth of the polymer chain.
