According to the Hammond postulate, lower values for this always-positive quantity imply greater similarity between reactants and their [*] transition state.
According to the Hammond postulate, lower values for this always-positive quantity imply greater similarity between reactants and their [*] transition state. Temperature-dependent, it can be found using a reaction-coordinate diagram or the Arrhenius equation. No reaction will occur unless two particles collide with at least—for 10 points—what minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur?
