Assertion. According to transition state theory, for the formation of an activated complex, one of the vibrational degree of freedom is converted into a translational 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 reason is the true explanation of the assertion. 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. |
