heal.abstract	In this paper a description is undertaken of the chemical reactions, their kinetics and mechanism in the ""language"" of the theory of categories and functors. A theory is developed, by which a chemical reaction network is defined as a homomorphism B: M → S between finitely generated free Abelian groups. The free generators of M are a given set of elementary steps and the free generators of S are a given set of species. Each element of M is an integral linear combination of elementary steps and is called a mechanism. Examples are quoted of the application of the proposed theory to specific chemical systems and a theorem is proved for the number of possible mechanism for a given chemically reacting system. © 1988.	en
