Which of the following is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur?
A
activation energy

B
orientation energy

C
ionization energy

D
collision energy

Option A activation energy is correct

Explanation:

The minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to proceed is the least amount of kinetic energy which molecules must have to cause an “effective collision” (i.e. a collision which can break pre-existing bonds), this is also known as the Activation Energy of a chemical reaction

Ionization energy = the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion

Collision energy =  an instrument parameter that is frequently optimized to increase fragment ion intensity.

Option A activation energy is correct

sry but any answer choices

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >
