N2 - Elementary exothermic chemical reactions are often observed to produce highly non-equilibrium product state distributions. It is argued that such reactions have lower Arrhenius A-factors than corresponding reactions for which the product state distribution is more nearly "statistical". Theoretically, these reactions have a lower entropy of activation than that computed via transition state theory.
