<b>Potential Energy Diagram</b><br> <br> 1. Activation energy (the hump)<br> <br> 2. Catalyst<br> <br> 3. Catalyst can not be consumed in a reaction<br> <br> 4. Will discuss (main point, the potential energy of product is greater than potential energy of the reactant<br> <br> <b>Reaction Mechanism</b><br> <br> 5. Intermediate is a chemical that is produced in one reaction step and consumed in another reaction step (consumption step is after production step). Therefore, intermediates are NEVER part of the overall chemical reaction<br> <br> 6. For intermediate, chemical is a product in the reaction step and a reactant in some other step after. For the catalyst, the chemical is a reactant in one step and a product in another step.<br> <br> 7. Only two reactants can collide with each other to form products<br> <br> 8. Slow step that is called the rate determined step<br> <br> <br>
