Abstract This paper presents the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer stagnation point flow with diffusion of chemically reactive species undergoing first-order chemical reaction over a permeable stretching sheet in presence of partial slip. With the help of similarity transformations, the partial differential equations corresponding to momentum and the concentration equations are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by shooting method. It is found that the horizontal velocity increases with the increasing value of the ratio of the free stream velocity and the stretching velocity. Velocity decreases with the increasing magnetic parameter when the free-stream velocity is less than the stretching velocity but the opposite behavior is noted when the free-stream velocity is greater than the stretching velocity. Due to suction, fluid velocity decreases at a particular point of the surface. With increasing velocity slip parameter, velocity increases when the free-stream velocity is greater than the stretching velocity. But the concentration decreases in this case. Concentration decreases with increasing mass slip parameter.
