Question

Differentiate between activation energy and threshold energy of a reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

The activation energy is the potential energy difference between the reactants and the activated complex. The threshold energy is the minimum energy required for the reactants to collide successfully and form the activated complex. It is kinetic energy plus energy of activation.

Answer 2

heya!

Activation energy is the minimum increase in potential energy of a system required for molecules to react.

Threshold energy is the mimum kinetic energy required to convert kinetic energy into activation energy during the formation of the activated complex.

so actually they both are the same!

Activation energy = Threshold energy

thank u and hope it helps! YAY!

if u find it helpsful, pls mark as brainliest!
