A finite difference solution of MHD and thermal radiation effects on unsteady flow past an impulsively started semi-infinite vertical plate in the presence of homogeneous chemical reaction of first order have been studied. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by an efficient, more accurate, unconditionally stable and fast converging implicit finite difference scheme. The effects of velocity and temperature for different parameters such as the chemical reaction parameter, magnetic field parameter, radiation parameter, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and time are studied. It is observed that velocity decreases with increasing values of the magnetic field parameter or radiation parameter. It is also observed that due to the presence of first order chemical reaction, velocity increases during generative reaction and decreases in destructive reaction.
