Given information
We are provided with a gas-phase reaction.
Proposed mechanism I:
Proposed mechanism II:
Based upon the reaction a 2-step mechanism is given and we need to show why we favor mechanism II over mechanism I.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
A reaction mechanism is a complete, detailed description of the reaction at the molecular level. It specifies the individual collisions and reactions that result in the overall reaction.
Each step in a reaction mechanism is an elementary step. Elementary steps cannot be broken down into simpler steps.
