Earth, Creation & Love: Bandit Queen Press Release...
Chemistry is the science of
reacting bodies. Bodies react when an
activation energy[1]
threshold is reached. It is known as Collision Theory[2].
For a collision to occur bodies must first meet. Bodies come in all shapes and
sizes, with inclinations and trajectories all of their own, ranging from free
radicals[3]
through catalysts[4]
to inert gases[5].
Upon meeting the chemistry happens and either a reaction takes place and
subsequent products[6]
are formed, or it does not, in which case bodies continue their trajectory,
though directions may alter as a result of the encounter.
Blackgirlonmars is an account of
one body’s experiences as it attempts to navigate it’s own trajectory, from
heterogeneous equilibria[7]
to homogeny and of the collisions, successful or otherwise that occur along the
way. Lesley-Ann Brown, abroad in every sense of the word, from Brooklyn NY to
Nørrebro DK, making her own group[8]
– finding her own period[9],
establishing bonds[10],
and breaking them.
[1]
The energy barrier that
must be overcome during a collision of two potential reactants in order for a
reaction to occur.
[2]
Theory of reaction rates
that states that effective collisions between reactant molecules must occur in
order for the reaction to occur.
[4]
A substance that speeds up
a chemical reaction without being consumed itself in the reaction. A substance
that alters (usually increases) the rate at which a reaction occurs.
[10]
There is a chemical bond
between two atoms or groups of atoms in case that the forces acting between
them are such as to lead to the formation of an aggregate with sufficient
stability to make it convenient for the chemist to consider it as an
independent "molecular species".
