Green Beans Almondine. Please indicate the names of those attending and if any are students All are welcome. Come and hear the speaker without attending the dinner. However, in view of the varied interests of the members in the Section, and the larger numbers of non-chemist guests who usually attend the November meeting, I decided to adopt a more general approach. Time plays an important role in chemistry.
Molecules move and undergo chemical reaction in a framework of time.
The time-scales of importance vary from minute fractions of a second to aeons, covering a range almost inconceivable to our minds. The important chemical concepts of rate and frequency are the inverse of time the number of incidents per unit of time. Time is also related to the inherent accuracy with which certain quantities may be known. I plan to survey a number of physical and chemical phenomena from the point of view of their time frame. In the process, I will touch upon some research areas in which I have participated, and some things which I did not participate in, partly because of the limitations of my own personal time frame.
