Final answer:

Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for a reaction to happen and influences the rate of reaction.


Explanation:

Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur. It represents the energy threshold that reactant molecules must surpass to form products during a collision. If the activation energy is high, fewer collisions will lead to a reaction, resulting in a slower reaction rate.
