  1. Transition state - Wikipedia

    In chemistry, the transition state of a chemical reaction is a particular configuration along the reaction coordinate. It is defined as the state corresponding to the highest potential energy along this reaction …

  2. What's A Transition State? - Master Organic Chemistry

    Nov 3, 2010 · A transition state is a very short-lived configuration of atoms at a local energy maximum in a reaction-energy diagram (aka reaction coordinate).

  3. 11.11: Transition State Theory - Chemistry LibreTexts

    It is based on the idea that a molecular collision that leads to reaction must pass through an intermediate state known as the transition state. For example, the reaction A + B C → A B + C would have an …

  4. Transition-state theory | Definition & Facts | Britannica

    Transition-state theory, treatment of chemical reactions that regards them as proceeding by a continuous change in the relative positions and potential energies of the constituent atoms and …

  5. Transition State Theory Explained: Key Concepts & Examples - Vedantu

    Transition State Theory in chemistry proposes that between reactants and products, there is an unstable arrangement of atoms—known as the transition state or activated complex—where the system has …

  6. Transition state - (General Chemistry II) - Vocab, Definition ...

    The transition state is a temporary, unstable configuration of atoms that occurs during a chemical reaction, representing the highest energy point along the reaction pathway.

  7. What is transition state in a chemical reaction? - ScienceOxygen

    Sep 4, 2022 · The transition state is defined as an intermediate state in which the chemical reaction has the highest energy than the reactants and the products. Whereas activation energy is defined as the …

  8. IUPAC - transition state (T06468)

    The transition state is characterized by one and only one imaginary frequency. The assembly of atoms at the transition state has been called an activated complex.

  9. Transition State Theory | Solubility of Things

    Transition State Definition: The transition state is a high-energy, unstable configuration of atoms that exists momentarily as reactants transform into products. It is described as the point at which the …

  10. Transition state - Oxford Reference

    The association of atoms of highest energy formed during a chemical reaction. The transition state can be regarded as a short-lived intermediate that breaks down to give the products. For example, in a …
