Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction in organic chemistry. It represents the barrier that reactants must overcome to be transformed into products.
The high-energy state during a chemical reaction where reactants are in the process of being converted into products.
A graphical representation showing the energy levels of reactants and products, along with the activation energy for a given reaction.
A substance that lowers the activation energy of a reaction, thereby speeding up the reaction without being consumed by it
