1. Chemiluminescence

   Chemiluminescence (also chemoluminescence) is the emission of light (luminescence) as the result of a chemical reaction. There may also be limited emission of heat.

1. chemiluminescence

   Chemiluminescence is a type of luminescence caused by a chemical reaction that results in the emission of light without the involvement of heat. It occurs when certain chemical substances come into contact and react with each other, releasing energy that excites other molecules, causing them to emit photons, thus producing light. This process is commonly used in several applications, including forensic testing, biological research, and glow sticks.

1. Chemiluminescence

   Chemiluminescence is the emission of light, as the result of a chemical reaction. There may also be limited emission of heat. Given reactants A and B, with an excited intermediate ◊, For example, if [A] is luminol and [B] is hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a suitable catalyst we have: where: ⁕where 3-APA is 3-aminophthalate ⁕3-APA[◊] is the vibronic excited state fluorescing as it decays to a lower energy level. The decay of this excited state[◊] to a lower energy level causes light emission. In theory, one photon of light should be given off for each molecule of reactant. This is equivalent to Avogadro's number of photons per mole of reactant. In actual practice, non-enzymatic reactions seldom exceed 1% QC, quantum efficiency. In a chemical reaction, reactants collide to form a transition state, the enthalpic maximum in a reaction coordinate diagram, which proceeds to the product. Normally, reactants form products of lesser chemical energy. The difference in energy between reactants and products, represented as, is turned into heat, physically realized as excitations in the vibrational state of the normal modes of the product. Since vibrational energy is generally much greater than the thermal agitation, it rapidly disperses in the solvent through molecular rotation. This is how exothermic reactions make their solutions hotter. In a chemiluminescent reaction, the direct product of a reaction is an excited electronic state, which then decays into an electronic ground state through either fluorescence or phosphorescence, depending partly on the spin state of the electronic excited state formed.
