Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called:
A
the starting energy
B
potential energy
C
kinetic energy
D
activation energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The minimum amount of energy that is required to start any chemical reaction is called activation energy. This is because some amount of energy is always needed to initiate the reaction whether it is exothermic or endothermic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Activation Energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction. All chemical reactions need a certain amount of activation energy to get started. Usually, once a few molecules react, the rest will quickly follow. The first few reactions provide the activation energy for more molecules to react.

Detailed explanation-3: -Activation Energy Even reactions that release energy need a boost of energy in order to begin. The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called activation energy. Activation energy is like the push a child needs to start going down a playground slide.
