Barrière de potentiel que doit franchir le système de départ pour que la réaction puisse avoir lieu. On sait en effet que l'énergie du système ne varie pas de façon monotone entre la valeur de départ et celle d'arrivée au cours d'une réaction chimique : l'énergie du système passe par un maximum correspondant à la formation de l'état de transition T[n'égale pas], ou complexe activé. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20d%27activation
