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.


What is it when 2 simple substances combine to form a new more complex substance?

This process is called a chemical reaction, where two simple substances (reactants) combine to form a new, more complex substance (product). Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed during this process.


What is the chemical reaction where molecule is broken apart?

What type of reaction occur when complex compound are broken down into simpler substance?

This kind of reaction is called "decomposition".


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.


What Type of chemical reaction in which a compound is broken into smaller substance?

The type of chemical reaction where a compound is broken down into smaller substances is called a decomposition reaction. In this reaction, a single compound is broken into two or more simpler compounds or elements.
