Catalyst
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering activation energy without being consumed. Activation Energy
The minimum energy required for reactants to transform into products in a chemical reaction. Energy Diagram
A graphical representation showing the energy changes during a chemical reaction. Transition State
The high-energy state between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Reactants
Substances present at the start of a chemical reaction that are transformed into products. Products
Substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction. Uncatalyzed Reaction
A chemical reaction occurring without the presence of a catalyst, typically with higher activation energy. Catalyzed Reaction
A chemical reaction that occurs in the presence of a catalyst, characterized by lower activation energy. Energy Barrier
The energy threshold that reactants must overcome to form products in a chemical reaction. Reaction Speed
The rate at which reactants are converted into products in a chemical reaction.
