Definitions:

Equilibrium Reaction

A reversible chemical reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction, resulting in stable concentrations of reactants and products.

Activation Energy Barrier

The minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.

Collision Theory

A theory that explains how chemical reactions occur and why rates of reactions vary for different reactions.

Forward Reaction

A chemical reaction where reactants convert into products, typically highlighted in a chemistry equilibrium context.
