Question

What is activation energy? (1 point)

O the total potential energy of the bonds of the reactants in a system
O the kinetic energy of the reactants of a system after the reaction has begun
O the energy released when atomic bonds are broken
o the energy that must be added to a system to break the bonds of the reactants

Answer 1

the last one

Step-by-step explanation:

The activation energy for the forward reaction is the amount of free energy that must be added to go from the energy level of the reactants to the energy level of the transition state.
