False, the minimum reaction energy needed for a reaction to form or take place is called the activation energy.
The amount of energy necessary to cause a chemical reaction to occur is called activation energy.
Chemical energy
The two molecules must collide with the correct orientation and with a minimum amount of energy (called the activation energy).
Activation energy is really just the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur. Without it, the energy will stay the same and the substance cannot undergo a chemical change. The thing to look at, I think, is the product of the reaction. For example, in a graph, two substances could have the same activation energy, but after the reaction the amount of energy in substance 1 could be extremely low and the amount of energy in substance 2 could be higher than the activation energy. In substance 1, evidence of an EXOTHERMIC reaction has occurred because the amount of energy in the original substance was lost indicating that it has released energy. Whereas in substance 2, when the amount of energy was higher than the activation energy, it is evident that an ENDOTHERMIC reaction has occurred because the amount of energy after the reaction is higher than it was before the reaction. This shows that substance 2 absorbedenergy making it endothermic. hope this helps!
The activation energy.

The minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to take place is called the activation energy.
The minimum amount of energy needed is called the "activiation energy". It varries depending on factors such as your reaction, temperature and several others.
The energy required is called the activation energy. The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is given by the formula Ea=-RT*ln(k/A). R is the universal gas constant, T is temperature in Kelvin, k is the reaction rate coefficient and A is the frequency factor.

The amount of energy a reaction needs to take place is called activation energy. When this much energy is present, a chemical reaction can occur.
The amount of energy necessary to cause a chemical reaction to occur is called activation energy.
This energy is called "energy of activation", it is used to overcame the energy barrier between reactants and products.
