In a reaction, the threshold energy is equal to (where, A = activation energy N = normal energy of reactants) ?

Correct answer: C. A + N

  • A. A
  • B. N
  • C. A + N
  • D. A - N

Explanation

Threshold energy is the energy level required to reach the activated state, measured from the zero-energy reference. If reactants have normal energy N and need activation energy A, the threshold energy is N + A.
