Social Distancing During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Analogy to Explain Collision Cross-Sections in Chemical Kinetics

Herein we present an engaging description of the existent analogy between social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the collision cross-section of particles as defined in the collisional model for a chemical reaction. In addition, the link between collision cross-sections and kinetic rate c...

description Herein we present an engaging description of the existent analogy between social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the collision cross-section of particles as defined in the collisional model for a chemical reaction. In addition, the link between collision cross-sections and kinetic rate constants is thoroughly established, bridging concepts of basic epidemiological models and fundamental chemical kinetics.
