Reaction intermediate:
Correct answer: D. Both B and C
- A. Cannot be Separated from reaction mixture
- B. Contain normal bonds
- C. Can be isolated from a reaction mixture
- D. Both B and C
Explanation
A reaction intermediate cannot be separated from the reaction mixture, as it is usually present only transiently during a reaction.However, if we consider scenarios where intermediates may have normal bonds and can indeed be isolated under certain conditions, then options B and C become relevant, leading to the conclusion that both statements are correct in some context.

About Activation Energy and Activated Complex
Activation energy is the minimum energy reactant particles need to form the activated complex, or transition state, during a reaction. Energy profile diagrams show the forward and reverse activation energies, while catalysts provide an alternative pathway with lower activation energy without changing the reaction enthalpy.
