In Figure 8-2, the transition state for the first step of the mechanism “TS 1” and the one for the second step “TS 2” are to be labeled. Also, the intermediate is to be labeled.

Concept introduction:

Transition states appear at energy maxima and show the breaking and making of bonds in progress. Intermediates appear at energy minima.
