4. the total kinetic and potential energy which exists in a system when it is at constant pressure.
5. the energy existing as a result of an object's position in space, as well as the sum of all the attractive and repulsive forces existing among the particles which make up the object.
10. an intermediate molecule which occurs when reactants are in the process of rearranging to form products.
11. a graph showing how the number of particles having a given kinetic energy changes with increasing temperature.
13. the substances produced by a chemical reaction.
14. the actual sequence of steps which make up an overall reaction.

1. a reaction which absorbs heat, so that products have more energy than reactants.
2. the theory stating that molecules act as small, hard spheres which bounce off each other and transfer energy among themselves during their collisions.
3. molecules which are produced in one step of a reaction mechanism and subsequently used up in another step.
6. the slowest step in a reaction mechanism.
7. the minimum potential energy required to change reactants into an activated complex.
8. the energy which a system possesses because of movement within the system.
9. a chemical which can be added to a reaction to increase the rate of the reaction.
12. the substances being combined in a reaction.
