    Study Notes

    Energy Diagram Concepts

    • Reactants: The initial substances that undergo a chemical reaction to form products.
    • Forward Activation Energy (Ea): The energy threshold needed to break atomic bonds during the forward reaction, facilitating the transformation from reactants to products.

    Thermodynamics of Reactions

    • Enthalpy (∆H): Represents the change in heat during a reaction calculated by the difference in potential energy between products and reactants.

    Reaction Mechanism

    • Activation Complex: The transitional state where all atomic bonds are broken, allowing atoms to rearrange and form new bonds.
    • Activation Complex Energy: The peak energy level required to reach the activation complex, marking the highest energy state during the reaction.

    Reverse Reaction Dynamics

    • Reverse Activation Energy: The energy needed to break the bonds in the products to revert back to the original reactants in the reverse reaction.

    Potential Energy Context

    • PE Products / PE Reactants: Compares the potential energy of products in a forward reaction against the potential energy of reactants.
    • PE Reactants / PE Products: Contrasts the potential energy of reactants in a forward reaction with the potential energy of products in the reverse reaction.
