Question
which type of reaction does not require activation energy to get started? a) endothermic reaction b) endergonic reaction c) none—all reactions require activation energy to get started. d) exergonic reaction
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. All chemical reactions, whether endothermic (absorb heat), exergonic (release energy), or endergonic (absorb free - energy), need activation energy to break the initial bonds and start the reaction.
