Noun
ènèrgi aktivasi (first-person possessive energi aktivasiku, second-person possessive energi aktivasimu, third-person possessive energi aktivasinya)
- (chemistry, physics) activation energy: The energy required to initiate a reaction. For example, the flame from the fuse of a firecracker provides a small initial amount of energy, after which the explosive reaction proceeds by itself, releasing a considerably larger quantity of energy. A small push given to a stable but top-heavy object may cause it to fall over; the potential energy released during the fall was present in the system all along but could not be realized as long as the object was upright and balanced.
Synonyms
- tenaga pengaktifan (Standard Malay)
