What is Understanding Activation Energy about?
The activation energy is the minimum energy that must be overcome for a reaction to occur, as it allows colliding molecules to form an unstable activated complex. This activated complex exists briefly and then breaks apart into either the original reactants if its energy is below the activation energy, or into new products if above this threshold. The rate of reaction depends on the activation energy required, as a higher barrier means it is less likely molecules will achieve this energy level on collision.
