Abstract
In this work, we analyzed the chemical reaction, \(\textrm{CH}_{4} + \textrm{H}^- \longrightarrow \textrm{CH}_{4} + \textrm{H}^{-}\), using the concept of information channel, which consists in to quantify the amount of information that the system can transfer and receive, to carry out such measures, we used Shannon’s entropy defined in position and momentum spaces, the interpretation of the results obtained was also completed by the analysis of Fisher’s entropy in position and momentum spaces; our results, permitted to analyze with certain detail how are carried out the process of bond-forming and bond-breaking of the reaction \(\textrm{CH}_{4} + \textrm{H}^-\).
