Front (Question)
define activation energy
Back (Answer)
the activation energy is the minimum energy which the reactants must possess before a collision will result in a reaction
#3
Front (Question)
catalyst
Back (Answer)
alter the rate of reaction by providing an alternate reaction route with a lower activation energy, without overall chemically changed by the reaction
