What is Understanding Activation Energy about?
Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy required for reactant particles to collide effectively and initiate a chemical reaction. In exothermic reactions, reactants are higher in energy than products, resulting in a smaller Ea, while in endothermic reactions, reactants are lower in energy, leading to a larger Ea. Increasing temperature raises the kinetic energy of particles, resulting in more frequent and effective collisions, thereby increasing the reaction rate.
