Question

Another name for the activated complex is _____. energy barrier collision group rate limiter transition state

Answer 1

maybe intermediate state...

Answer 2

Correct answer: D). Transition state

Activation complex is defined as the middle point where there is the formation and broke down of bond occur is called an activation complex, a complex between reactant and product.

Activation complex is also called a transition state. It is because as according to transition state theory states that at the transition states the existing bond increases and become weak and the new forming bond decrease in length and become stronger. This state is called a transition state.

Hence, the correct answer would be option D.
