Question

Arrange the characteristics of a chemical reaction in order from start to finish:

1. Slide one - Lower energy of reactants.
2. Slide two - Higher energy of products.
3. Slide three - Higher energy of reactants.
4. Slide four - Transition state.
5. Slide five (final slide) - Lower energy of products.
Put the characteristics in the correct order.

Answer 1

The characteristics of a chemical reaction can be arranged in the order: higher energy of reactants, transition state, higher energy of products, lower energy of reactants, lower energy of products.

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristics of a chemical reaction can be arranged in the following order:

1. Slide three - Higher energy of reactants: The reactants start with a higher energy level as they have not yet undergone a reaction.
2. Slide four - Transition state: The transition state represents the highest energy point in the reaction where the reactants are transformed into products.
3. Slide two - Higher energy of products: After the transition state, the products have a higher energy level than the reactants.
4. Slide one - Lower energy of reactants: As the reaction progresses, the energy of the reactants decreases.
5. Slide five (final slide) - Lower energy of products: Finally, the products have a lower energy level than the reactants.
