Answer

  1. It is the minimum amount of energy it takes to start a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Activation Energy:- The minimum energy which must be available to a chemical system with potential reactants to result in a chemical reaction

Activation energy may also be defined as the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction.

The activation energy of a reaction is usually denoted by Ea and given in units of kilojoules per mole (kJ/ mol) or kilocalories per mole (kcal/ mol).
