Kinetics

The total number of intermediates in the reaction.

The stoichiometric coefficients of reactants and products.

The activation energy and overall energy change.

The molecular structure of reactants and products.

Reactants & products appear interchangeably; while intermediate determine equation's direction

Products are formed first, followed by intermediates; reactants appear lastly on equation's left hand side

Reactants are written on the left-hand side, intermediates are formed during the reaction but not present at start or end, products are on right-hand side.

Intermediates make up either sides; reactant & product don't participate directly
