Want this question answered?
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
The two molecules must collide with the correct orientation and with a minimum amount of energy (called the activation energy).
Which molecules are essentially required to absorb solar energy to carry out photosynthesis?
When liquid molecules absorb enough heat energy, evaporation occurs.
The energy required is the same. It is the energy required to rearrange the molecules from one state to another.
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
The minimum energy required for molecules to react.
The two molecules must collide with the correct orientation and with a minimum amount of energy (called 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.

THRESHOLD ENERGY(T.E) You consider any particular reaction. the molecules of the reactants must necessarily possess certain minimum value of kinetic energy for the collision with other reactant and to from product . this minimum energy that the reactant molecules should possess is known as threshold energy (T.E) ACTIVATION ENERGY (A.E) Do you think all the molecules will possess this particular minimum kinetic energy required to form products? obviously not. if you take the graph of no of molecules vs their kinetic energy graph, you will see that only few molecules possess this minimum kinetic energy. so for other molecules also to participate in the reaction you need to provide certain extra energy to them by some means which is known as the activation energy. (A.E) Now the question arises ,how to calculate the activation energy. suppose in a reaction the average kinetic energy of the molecules of reactant be 10Joules , threshold energy is 50Joules. so what energy should be supplied for all the molecules to react. this is nothing but T.E - Average kinetic energy i.e.,50-10=40Joules. this is what is known as activation energy so ACTIVATION ENERGY (A.E) THRESHOLD ENERGY (T.E) AND AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY (K.E) ARE RELATED AS A.E=T.E - K.E
Activation energy is defined as the minimum quantity of energy that the reacting species must possess in order to undergo a specified reaction. That means the energy required to activate atoms or molecules.
