Activation energy
Define energy of activation of a reaction.

उत्तर १
Activation energy is the lowest energy necessary to commence a chemical reaction by disrupting the bonds of reactant molecules and creating the activated complex or transition state. It signifies the energy threshold that must be surmounted for a reaction to transpire. Activation energy is typically represented as Ea.
उत्तर २
Activation energy may be defined as the excess energy that the reactant molecules (having energy less than the threshold energy) must acquire in order to cross the energy barrier and to change into the products.
