The correct answer is "True".

Explanation:

A reaction mechanism is a theoretical postulate that tries to explain in a logical way which are the elemental and intermediary reactions that happen in a chemical reaction and that allow to explain the qualitative and quantitative characteristics observed in its development, in which a unique molecular event is described in each elemental step.
