Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The amount of energy (e.g. heat) needed for a reaction to occur is called the ____
A
kinetic energy
B
potential energy
C
activation energy
D
synthetic energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reactions require an input of energy to initiate the reaction; this is called the activation energy (EA). 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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes and Activation Energy The amount of energy needed before a reaction will proceed on its own is called activation energy. Energy is needed to break existing bonds before new bonds can be formed. The formation of new bonds may release more energy than was needed to break the original bonds.
