NEET Chemistry Activation Energy Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The activation energy of a reaction is the minimum energy required for reactants to form an unstable intermediate. | Reason (R): According to Arrhenius, a molecule of hydrogen and a molecule of iodine must collide to form an unstable intermediate before forming hydrogen iodide.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The activation energy is indeed the minimum energy required to form an unstable intermediate, as described in the Arrhenius concept. The reason accurately describes the collision requirement for forming an intermediate.
