A role of plasma chemistry and relative contribution to the overall reaction is explained. Considering relative contribution of thermo chemistry and plasma chemistry, reactions are classified into three different regimes. The way plasma affects kinetic pathways differs according to these regimes. This review introduces how plasma chemistry affects overall reaction and determines kinetic pathways based on the classified regimes. Among these three regimes, In the case of weakly exothermic reactions, discernible role of plasma chemistry is most confusing because plasma chemistry provokes both electron and excited species induced activation and thermal activation that are competitive and interactive. This review introduces the way how to understand the discern plasma chemistry in these reactions. There is possibility of misleading in evaluation of thermal efficiency of process if the concept of warm plasma is not defined correctly. Efficiency and process design also should be based on the classification of the regimes and this review can provide the insight on the understanding specific role and function of plasma chemistry in diverse plasma applied processes.
