Answer:

1) Transition states are short-lived

Explanation:

Transition state theory explains the rates of elementary chemical reactions. It assumes a quasi-equilibrium between reactants and activated transition state complexes.

The following are the characteristics of transition states

Instability
Ill-defined
High energy
short-lived

The species that must collide for the reaction to occur are shown by the mechanism of reaction and not the balanced reaction itself

Intermediates are consumed in each step of the overall reaction, they are not short lived

A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d

AlladinOne [14]

The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and $\Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s$ , so the average current during the event is
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A$
