Some atoms<span> are more stable when they </span>gain or lose<span> an </span>electron<span> (or possibly two) and </span>form ions<span>. This results in a full outermost </span>electron<span> shell and makes them energetically more stable. Now, because the number of </span>electrons<span> does not equal the number of protons, each </span>ion<span> has a net charge.</span>

How does activation energy affect chemical reactions?
Assoli18 [71]

Enzymes affect the rate of the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions; the reaction proceeds faster because less energy is required for molecules to react when they collide. Thus, the rate constant (k) increases. Figure 3: Lowering the Activation Energy of a Reaction by a Catalyst.
