Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The amount of energy required to begin a chemical reaction is called?
A
Substrate Energy
B
Start Energy
C
Activation Energy
D
None of the above
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 is the amount of energy required to reach the transition state. The source of the activation energy needed to push reactions forward is typically heat energy from the surroundings.

Detailed explanation-4: -By definition, the energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called activation energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic.
