Activation energy (Eₐ)

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the chemical-reactions subtree

The minimum energy barrier between reactants and products that colliding molecules must surmount in order for an elementary reaction step to proceed. Shows up as the exponent in the Arrhenius equation k = A e^(−Eₐ / RT) and directly…
