Activation Energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to initiate or start up a chemical reaction.
Catalyst: A substance that lowers activation energy and speeds up a chemical reaction, but is not consumed in the process.
Exothermic Reaction: A reaction that releases energy, often in the form of heat. It requires less activation energy.
Endothermic Reaction: A reaction that absorbs energy from the surroundings. It usually requires more activation energy.
