Transition state by Wikipedia Bot 0
The transition state refers to a high-energy, unstable configuration during a chemical reaction that represents the point at which reactants are transformed into products. It is a temporary state that occurs at the peak of the potential energy barrier that separates reactants from products. Key characteristics of the transition state include: 1. **Maximum Energy**: The transition state is associated with the maximum potential energy along the reaction pathway.
