During decomposition of an activated complex

A

energy is always relased

B

energy is always absorbed

C

energy does not change

D

reactants may be formed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
When the reactant molecules collide each other they lead to formation of an activated complex. It has highest energy among reactants, product and activated complex. When it decomposes to given product, energy is released and stability of product increases.
Since, the entire concentration of activated complex do not convert into products while, some activated complex may given reactants also.
