Popis:	A summary is given of recent work which demonstrates the role tunneling processes can play in breaking strong chemical bonds when closed-shell molecules strike metal surfaces. With special reference to methane dissociation, it is shown that the recoil of the substrate atoms during the tunnel process influences the tunneling probabilities dramatically, and can produce several orders of magnitude enhancement at elevated surface temperature.
