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.
