The different in energy between the products and reactant is known as enthalpy of the reaction, or ∆Hreaction.
The energy barrier is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. It represents the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state of the reaction. Overcoming this barrier allows the reaction to proceed.
The additional potential energy the reactants must gain in order to react
Activation energy is represented as the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state on an energy diagram. It is the energy barrier that must be overcome for a chemical reaction to occur. The activation energy is depicted as the peak of the curve on the reaction pathway.
The energy hill on an energy diagram represents the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. It shows the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state of the reaction. The height of the energy hill determines the rate at which the reaction will proceed.
An energy hill diagram represents the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction. It visually shows the difference in energy between reactants and products, with the peak representing the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur.
Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur, while the change in energy in a potential energy diagram represents the difference in energy between the reactants and the products of a reaction. Activation energy is specific to the transition state of a reaction, whereas the change in energy is a measure of the overall energy difference between reactants and products.

It represents the change in enthalpy for the reaction.
Intermediates are stable molecules formed during a reaction, while transition states are high-energy, unstable structures that exist briefly during the reaction process. Intermediates are products of one step and reactants in the next, while transition states represent the highest energy point in the reaction pathway.
Activation energy is not part of the overall difference in energy between reactants and products in a chemical reaction; instead, it is the energy required to initiate the reaction by overcoming the energy barrier. The overall energy change, or Gibbs free energy change, is determined by the difference in energy between the reactants and products. While activation energy affects the rate of the reaction, it does not alter the total energy difference associated with the reaction itself.
In a chemical reaction, the chemical energy of the reactants is typically higher than that of the products. This is because energy is needed to break the bonds in the reactants to form new bonds in the products. The difference between the energy of the reactants and the products is often released or absorbed as heat.
