Question 1 Report

The minimum amount of energy required for effective collisions between reacting particles is known as
Answer Details
The minimum amount of energy required for effective collisions between reacting particles is known as "activation energy." In simple terms, it is the energy required to start a chemical reaction by breaking the bonds of the reactants. It is the energy barrier that needs to be overcome before a chemical reaction can occur. Once this energy barrier is overcome, the reaction proceeds on its own, releasing energy in the form of heat or light. The activation energy is dependent on the nature of the reactants and the reaction conditions such as temperature and pressure.
