Your answer is asked on a too broad spectrum.
A brief explanation:
A chemical reaction is a reaction where certain molecules are reformed to other molecules.
To split Water (H2O) into H2 and O2, it needs to be heated to 1800 C, requiring approximately 7524 Kj.
However; Sodium (Na) is an alkaline metal, which produces a chemical reaction when it merely touches air or water.
PS: Water is more often split with electrolyse (with electricity) than with thermolyse
The general sort of energy required is the activation energy. Which can be all kinds of energy.

Why is a spark of energy needed to begin the chemical reaction of burning fossil fuels?
You need to get the reaction above its activation energy before it will start.
What is the term for the amount of energy that needs to be added for a chemical reaction to start?
What term refers to the amount of energy needed to begin a chemical reaction
Chemical reactions that absorb energy will not occur without a source of energy true or false?
This is true. Energy is required to begin all reactions.
How are enzymes and activation energy related?
The activation energy, once put in force, will be affected by the density, static, and kinectic energy of an object, but will still have a direct impact on the energy of reaction that is yielded from the initial force.
What types of energy can cause a chemical reaction to take place?
There are several sources of energy that could provide the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction to take place. Usually it is thermal energy, but photoexcitation (excitement by light energy) and electrochemical activation (excitement by electricity) are also commonly used.
What is the smallest amount of energy required by reacting particles for a chemical reaction to begin?
This is the activation energy.
How does an enzyme catalyze a chemical reaction in regards to activation energy?
Any catalyst will make a chemical reaction easier or quicker to happen by lowering the activation energy. On a energy diagram, you will see a lower "hill" for activation energy, which corresponds to less energy required to begin the reaction.
What describes the energy of activation?
Activation energy is the least amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction. It is used to activate atoms or molecules in order for them to begin a chemical reaction.
How is activation energy relates to the start of chemical reactions?
A chemical reaction begin only if the activation energy has a specific value.
Do catalysts decrease or increase energy required to begin a reaction?
Catalysts decrease activation energy.
Why is a spark of energy needed to begin the chemical reaction of burning fossil fuels?
You need to get the reaction above its activation energy before it will start.
What is the term for the amount of energy that needs to be added for a chemical reaction to start?
What term refers to the amount of energy needed to begin a chemical reaction
How do catalyst affect the energy of reaction?
Catalysts greatly reduce the amount of activation energy needed to begin a reaction.
Chemical reactions that absorb energy will not occur without a source of energy true or false?
This is true. Energy is required to begin all reactions.

Why is it necessary for a collision between atomic particles to occur so a nuclear reaction may begin?
High Energy produced with high velocity which required for nuclear reaction
