Question

Explain the following terms
(j) Photochemical reaction ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The chemical reaction which involves the presence of light is called photo chemical reaction.

For example:-Photosynthesis

Answer 2

Answer:

The photochemical reaction is none other than a chemical reaction that starts with light being absorbed as a form of energy”. Temporary peak states would be triggered while the molecules absorb light and there would be physical and chemical property differences to a large extent from the real molecules.

The resultant chemical structures could be separated, modified, mixed among the similar or different molecules along with the transfer of hydrogen atoms, electronic charge to separate molecules, protons, and electrons. The peak states in comparison to the real ground states are stronger reductants and acids that are stronger.

The mechanism of a photo reaction should ideally include a detailed characterization of the primary events as outlined by the classification of photochemical reaction pathways. The quantum yields and hence the rate constants of all relevant photophysical and photochemical processes, in addition to the information about the structure and fate of any reactive intermediates, their lifetimes and reactivities.
