What are the Key Features of an Energetic Profile?
An energetic profile typically includes several key features:
Reactants: The starting point of the reaction. Products: The endpoint of the reaction. Transition States: High-energy states that occur between reactants and products. These are often the rate-determining steps. Intermediates: Species that exist temporarily during the transformation from reactants to products. Activation Energy: The energy barrier that must be overcome for the reaction to proceed.
