Activated Complex refers to a compound which is
highly unstable.During the chemical reaction, it
has very high energy state.It acts as an intermediate
product between the reactants and the products
of the reaction.

2. Energy Absorb/Release in
Activated Complex
In case the energy absorbed by the activated complex
is less than activation energy.
Then the reaction is endothermic in nature.
For exothermic reaction,ΔE = -Ve (negative)
If the energy release in the product is more than
activation energy absorbed by the reactant.
Then the reaction is exothermic in nature.
For endothermic reaction,ΔE= +Ve(positive)

3. How Reaction Starts
In order to start the reaction,
we supply energy.The minimum amount of energy
needs to start a reaction as threshold energy.All the
reactants taking part in the reaction may not have
equal energy.So, extra energy needs to supply to
them.We call this energy as activation energy. It is
donated by Ea.

5. The reactant the reacting species taking part in
reaction do not directly change to the product.Every
reactant has to cross the certain barrier of energy.
This barrier is compared to the top of Hill. The
reactant and product lie on the other side of Hill. The
energy at the barriers is equal to the threshold
energy.
The reacting species in normal energy absorb the
required energy of activation and reach the various
at the barrier.They mutually combine to form the
unstable complex compound called as activated
complex.
