John Polanyi says : “Chemists toss molecules at other molecules all the time to see what happens or in hopes of making something new,”

John Polanyi says : “We call this new type of one-dimensional chemical reaction ‘knock-on’, since we find that the product is knocked-on along the continuation of the direction of reagent approach,”

John Polanyi says : “Now, with the ability to observe the reagents and the products at the molecular level, one can see precisely how the reagents approach and subsequently how the products separate,” “But this runs contrary to the classic 90-year old statistical model. If the energy and momentum were randomized in the hot transition state, the products would not exhibit a clear memory of the direction of approach of the reagents. Energy-randomization would work to erase that memory”
