Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy that is needed to get a chemical reaction started is called ____
A
exothermic energy
B
activation energy
C
activation catalyst
D
endothermic energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Activation energy is the minimum energy required to cause a process (such as a chemical reaction) to occur.

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.
