1.	Assertion: According to transition state theory, for the formation of an activated complex, one of the vibrational degree of freedom is converted into a translation degree of freedom. Reason: 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 coordinate.
