By the way why can't you divide anything by 0- is it because 0 is infinity?


0 is infinity? no!

1/1 = 1
1/0.1 = 10
1/0.001 = 100
1/0.0001 = 1000

as the denominator tends to 0 the fraction tends to infinity!

Because doing so causes The Matrix to reset itself and The Matrix doesn't like being reset.

OMG DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??!?!? There is something called paper-write at our schoo, where papers are early marked

Chemistry, maths? make your mind up

and a mechanism is a way to show the overall products in gradual steps



Wow you can google.

and What exactly is this paper-write service?

Are you trying to say that your school marks public examinations?

FAIL.

A mechanism is a series of reactions between products showing the transfer of any fermions and hadrons, by which the reaction proceeds.

You would clearly know this if you actually did Chemistry to the BCO level.

I'm a little confused as to what is actually being discussed in this thread.
Are we in Spain?

Chuck Norris can.

To answer your question though, anything divided by zero is undefined i.e. it doesn't make sense to talk about dividng by zero. The best way to think about it is in terms of the limit of y/x as x tends to zero is infinity. So the quotient y/x gets really really really big as x gets really really really small, but you'll never actually get to infinity as its not really a number in the sense that you can't ask what infinity minus 1 is. Looking at the graph of y = 1/x might help.
