Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called:
A
Activation energy.
B
Chemical energy.
C
Enzyme energy.
D
Energy of reaction.
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: -All chemical reactions, including exothermic reactions, need activation energy to get started. Activation energy is needed so reactants can move together, overcome forces of repulsion, and start breaking bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -activation energy, in chemistry, the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport.
