transition state
Biology
Chemistry
Examples of transition state in the following topics:
-
Transition State Theory
- In a given chemical reaction, the hypothetical space that occurs between the reactants and the products is known as the transition state.
- Transition state theory (TST) describes a hypothetical "transition state" that occurs in the space between the reactants and the products in a chemical reaction.
- The species that is formed during the transition state is known as the activated complex.
- According to transition state theory, between the state in which molecules exist as reactants and the state in which they exist as products, there is an intermediate state known as the transition state.
- The species that forms during the transition state is a higher-energy species known as the activated complex.
-
The Transfer of Authority
- In the United States, transfers of authority generally occur after presidential elections.
- In the United States, the presidential transition extends from the date of the presidential election, in early November, until the twentieth day of January in the following year.
- In other nations, many of which have experienced undemocratic governments and dictators, transitional justice refers to a state's efforts to address past human rights violations.
- In the context of transitional justice, memorialization is used to honor the victims of human rights abuses.
- In the United States, elaborate inauguration ceremonies mark the transfer of authority.

Physical Properties and Atomic Size
- These can most easily occur when the metal is in a high oxidation state.
- In each case the metals (Cr and Mn) have oxidation states of +6 or higher.
- A metal-to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition will be most likely when the metal is in a low oxidation state and the ligand is easily reduced.
- The extent of the splitting depends on the particular metal, its oxidation state, and the nature of the ligands.
- In octahedral complexes with between four and seven d electrons, both high spin and low spin states are possible.
-
Transition Metals
- The d-block elements are commonly known as transition metals or transition elements.
- The formation of compounds in many oxidation states due to the relatively low reactivity of unpaired d electrons.
- These can most easily occur when the metal is in a high oxidation state.
- A metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition will be most likely when the metal is in a low oxidation state and the ligand is an easily reduced d-d transition.
- This activity is attributed to their ability to adopt multiple oxidation states and to form complexes.
-
Solid to Gas Phase Transition
- Sublimation is the phase transition from the solid to the gaseous phase, without passing through an intermediate liquid phase.
- It is an endothermic phase transition that occurs at temperatures and pressures below a substance's triple point (the temperature and pressure at which all three phases coexist) in its phase diagram.
- At a given temperature, most chemical compounds and elements can possess one of the three different states of matter at different pressures.
- In these cases, the transition from the solid to the gaseous state requires an intermediate liquid state.
- But at temperatures below that of the triple point, a decrease in pressure will result in a phase transition directly from the solid to the gaseous.
-
Color
- Most transitions that are related to colored metal complexes are either d–d transitions or charge band transfer.
- The Laporte rule states that, if a molecule is centrosymmetric, transitions within a given set of p or d orbitals are forbidden.
- Therefore, transitions are not pure d-d transitions.
- These are most likely to occur when the metal is in a low oxidation state and the ligand is easily reduced.
- These can most easily occur when the metal is in a high oxidation state.
-
Transitivity
- Such transitive or balanced triads are argued by some theorists to be the "equilibrium" or natural state toward which triadic relationships tend (not all theorists would agree!
- For data of this type, the default definition of transitivity (i.e.
- Network>Cohesion>Transitivity also provides some alternative definitions of what it means for a triad to be transitive which are useful for valued data.
- After performing a census of all possible triads, Network>Cohesion>Transitivity reports that it finds 146 transitive (directed) triples.
- This shows that 20.28% of all triads are transitive.

Components of a Speech: Main Points, Introduction, Conclusion, and Transitions
- A speech should have four components: the main points, introduction, conclusion, and transitions.
- The introduction should get the audience's attention, describe the topic, state the thesis or purpose, and give an overview of the speech and its main points.
- The conclusion should summarize main points and state a strong thesis.
- A transition is a change or shift from one topic to another.
- Speakers can emphasize transition points with visual aids, body language, vocal delivery, and transitional words and phrases.
-
The Role of Transitions
- Develop a general premise: constructing a presentation will require that you begin by developing your goal and translating it into a general premise you will state to your audience.
- Take the final step, filling in transitions, seriously.
- Transitions play an important role in the success of your speech.
- In speeches, transitions serve this purpose.
- Transitions enable the flow of a speech.

Problems
- Calculate the energy and wavelength of the hyperfine transition of the hydrogen atom.
- Calculate the energy and wavelength of the transition of hydrogen with the spin of the electron and proton aligned to antialigned.
- Assume that the electron is in the ground state.
