Correct answer: D. 1,2 and 3
- A. 1 and 2
- B. 2 and 3
- C. 1 and 3
- D. 1,2 and 3
Explanation
In a transition state, the reacting molecules form a hypothetical structure that possesses all three characteristics mentioned: 1. Loose Structure: The molecules in a transition state have partially broken and partially formed bonds. This means that they do not have a well-defined, stable structure like reactants or products. They are in a state of flux, with bonds in the process of being broken and formed. 2. Ability to Rotate: The molecules in a transition state have some degree of freedom to rotate around their bonds. This allows for the necessary rearrangements of atoms and bonds as the reaction proceeds. 3. Ability to Vibrate: The atoms within the molecules in a transition state have the ability to vibrate. This vibrational motion is a characteristic of molecules at elevated energy levels.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
