What is the amount of energy needed to reach the activated complex?
The activated complex lies at the top of the energy curve. It is the highest energy complex in the overall reaction scheme, synonymous to the transition state. If you look at the reaction: A + B --> C + D The activated complex is right in the middle of the arrow. For A + B to become C + D, we need some energy. Because you're forcing two atoms close together, bonds are being formed and broken. The activated complex is where those bonds are all half broken and formed. To get a better feel for this, do a search for reaction coordinates. You'll see an energy curve for the reaction which will show a large bump in energy. At the very top of that bump is the activated complex. As a side note, it can come as a bit of a shock when people start talking about activated complexes\transition states. Because often in chemistry you'll spend years just sort of assuming these things are clean and instant...which actually goes against our common sense. Just trust your instincts here, everything takes time...even if it is only a tiny fraction of a second. Find a reaction and try to picture what the activated complex would be, you would likely be surprised how correct you are for many of them. If you are doing a chemistry degree, you should have a course or two specifically about these. For further searching try: activated complex, transition state, transition stage, reaction intermediate, reaction coordinate.
Can an element be broken with chemical reaction?
Base elements cannot be broken using a chemical reaction. Mollecules, which are made up of more than one element, can be broken using chemical reactions.

no
Can argon be broken down by a chemical reaction?
no
A chemical reaction in which a double bond of an unsaturated compound is broken and atoms are added at the point where the bond is broken?
The chemical reaction is the H2O bond with O2.
True or false when a bond is broken in a chemical reaction heat energy is released?
It is true that when bonds are broken there is chemical reaction. Then heat energy is released.
