Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The structure of the transition state in the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The transition state is formed during the conversion of reactants into products in the chemical reaction. In an energy level diagram, it corresponds to the high potential energy along the y-axis. This state involves the formation of partial bonds in the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The structure of the transition state in the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The transition state is formed during the conversion of reactants into products in the chemical reaction. In an energy level diagram, it corresponds to the high potential energy along the y-axis. This state involves the breaking of bonds in the reactant molecules to form the product.
