NEET Chemistry Activation Energy MCQ Question
A potential energy diagram for a given reaction is described as follows: The plot consists of a curve that starts at a certain energy level representing reactants, rises to a peak, and then falls to a lower energy level representing products. The peak of the curve corresponds to the transition state of the reaction. Which label correctly identifies the activation energy on this diagram?
The energy difference between the reactants and the transition state.
The energy difference between the products and the transition state.
The energy difference between the reactants and the products.
The energy at the peak of the curve relative to the horizontal axis.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the context of activation energy, it is defined as the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state, as indicated by the peak of the potential energy curve.
