Potential Energy Diagrams
Potential energy diagrams provide a visual representation of the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction or a physical process. These diagrams plot the potential energy of the system against the reaction progress or the coordinate of the process. They offer valuable insights into the stability of reactants, transition states, and products, aiding in the understanding of reaction mechanisms and energy profiles. By illustrating the relative energies of different states, potential energy diagrams facilitate the analysis of reaction kinetics and the determination of key energetic parameters such as activation energy.
