Question 8. This looks to me like a single step reaction. And that's what I think they mean by transition state. And I assume there is one intermediate and therefore I see the answer as C. My son thinks it is B? can you help us? we have come to the conclusion that the top of the hill is the transition state and Intermediate would have to have two steps So probably the answer is c as thee was no intermediate energy as in two steps This is not a graded question as it is a practice question . I am 60 years old and helping my son prepare for the AP exam in a few months. We do questions at the back of the textbook by Zumdahl and Zumdahl
