Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The states between which the energy difference shows the activation energy of the slow step are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The activation energy is the amount of energy that the reactants need to gain to change to the transition state.

The slowest step has the largest activation energy.

The transition state has the highest energy. On a potential energy diagram, it appears between the reactants and the products.
