Question
During decomposition of an activated complex:
(i) energy is always released
(ii) energy is always absorbed
(iii) energy does not change
(iv) reactants may be formed

Solution
(i) energy is always released
(iv) reactants may be formed
Explanation:
Activation Energy is the amount of energy released when reactant molecules collide and form an activated complex. When energy is released, the complex decomposes into a product.
