What is the name given to the reaction species that lies at an energy minimum between steps on a reaction energy diagram?
A)Transition state
B)Activation energy
C)Reactive intermediate
D)Equilibrium product

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reactive intermediate is the species that forms at an energy minimum between steps on a reaction energy diagram. The transition state corresponds to a maximum in energy, representing the highest point of energy that must be overcome to reach the next step. The activation energy is the energy required to get to the transition state. The equilibrium product refers to the end result of a reaction at equilibrium.
