Usage Examples English
  • In an exothermic reaction, the activation energy (energy needed to start the reaction) is less than the energy that is subsequently released, so there is a net release of energy.
  • intensive electron radiation causes a many orders of magnitude decrease of viscosity and stepwise decrease of its activation energy.
  • Reactions studied by the CRESU technique typically have no significant activation energy barrier.
  • Typically, reaction rates increase with increasing temperature because there is more thermal energy available to reach the activation energy necessary for breaking bonds between atoms.
  • These pathways have lower activation energy. Consequently, more molecular collisions have the energy needed to reach the transition state.

  • In chemistry and physics, activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that must be provided for compounds to result in a chemical reaction.
  • In 1889, Arrhenius explained the fact that most reactions require added heat energy to proceed by formulating the concept of activation energy, an energy barrier that must be overcome before two molecules will react.
  • The coupled reaction of the catabolic pathway affects the thermodynamics of the reaction by lowering the overall activation energy of an anabolic pathway and allowing the reaction to take place.
  • It can be converted to graphite (plus leftover kinetic energy), but only after overcoming an activation energy – an intervening hill.
