Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reaction intermediate is a species that is formed during the progress of a reaction and is not the reactant or product of the overall reaction. It lies at an energy minimum between the steps on a reaction pathway, generally with a higher energy than the reactants but lower than the transition state.
