    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
