Assertion: According to the transition state theory, for the formation of an activated complex, one of the vibrational degree of freeedom is converted into the transition degree of freedom. Reason: The energy of the activated complex is higher than the energy of the reactant molecules.

Assertion: According to the transition state theory, for the formation

1.	Assertion: According to the transition state theory, for the formation of an activated complex, one of the vibrational degree of freeedom is converted into the transition degree of freedom. Reason: The energy of the activated complex is higher than the energy of the reactant molecules.
Answer» If both assertion and REASON are TRUE and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. If assertion is true but reason is false. If assertion is false but reason is true. Solution :`A + B rarr X^() rarr` Products The activated complex `X^()` has higher energy than reactants. It is a special molecule which decomposes such that one VIBRATIONAL degree of freedom is converted into a translational degree of freedom along the reaction cooradiante.
