1. Transition state

   The transition state of a chemical reaction is a particular configuration along the reaction coordinate. It is defined as the state corresponding to the highest potential energy along this reaction coordinate. At this point, assuming a perfectly irreversible reaction, colliding reactant molecules will always go on to form products. It is often marked with the double dagger ‡ symbol. It is also related to enzymes. As an example, the transition state shown below occurs during the SN2 reaction of bromoethane with a hydroxyl anion. The activated complex of a reaction can refer to either the transition state or to other states along the reaction coordinate between reactants and products, especially those which are close to the transition state.
