In a chemical reaction, what does the term 'activation energy' refer to? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that a chemical reaction is a process where substances change into different substances.
  • Step 2: Know that for a reaction to start, the molecules need a certain amount of energy.
  • Step 3: This required energy is called 'activation energy'.
  • Step 4: Think of activation energy as a 'starting push' needed to get the reaction going.
  • Step 5: If the energy is less than the activation energy, the reaction will not happen.
