Chapter 4, Problem 4.27P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The transition state for the reverse reaction of Eq.4.30 is to be drawn. The structure is to be compared with the transition state shown in Eq.4.31.

Concept introduction:

The transition state is formed during the conversion of reactants into products in the chemical reaction. In an energy level diagram, it corresponds to the high potential energy along the y-axis. In this state, the dashed bond implies that bonds are partially broken and partially formed in the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The general statement about the transition-state structures for a reaction and its reverse is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The transition state is formed during the conversion of reactants into products in the chemical reaction. In an energy level diagram, it corresponds to the high potential energy along the y-axis. In this state, the dashed bond implies that bonds are partially broken and partially formed in the reaction.
