Week 1 Introduction to Reactive Intermediate

Reactive Intermediate in chemistry is a highly reactive, high energy and a short-lived molecule that will quickly turn into a stable molecule when it is generated in a chemical reaction. In certain cases, they are separated and stored. For example, Matrix Isolation and Low temperatures. Matrix Isolation is a technique that is used experimentally in physics and chemistry that includes a material that has been trapped within an unreactive material. Host matrix generally comprises of guest particles that are generally embedded. Guest particles can be molecules, atoms and ions. The guest is isolated within the host matrix.
