absolute reaction rate theory
a theory that sets out to predict the absolute reaction rate of a chemical reaction from the quantum mechanical description of the potential energy changes during the interaction between chemical species. It is most widely drawn upon in applying thermodynamic reasoning to equilibria between reactants in the ground state and chemical species in the activated state or transition state.
