    Will it stick?
    ::它会坚持吗?

    Velcro is a synthetic material that allows fabrics (among other things) to stick together. Another more unusual use for Velcro is the sport (?) of “Velcro-jumping”. The participant wears clothing made of Velcro and jumps at a Velcro-covered wall. Sometimes the collision with the wall will result in the person sticking to the wall. Other times the person simply bounces off the wall and does not connect.

    Activated Complex
    ::激活复合体

    Reactant particles sometimes collide with one other and yet remain unchanged by the collision. Other times, the collision leads to the formation of products. The state of the particles that is in between the is called the activated complex . An  activated complex  is an unstable arrangement of atoms that exists momentarily at the peak of the barrier. Because of its high energy , the activated complex exists for an extremely short period of time (about 10 −13 s). There is equal likelihood that the activated complex either reforms the original reactants or goes on to form products. Figure shows the formation of a possible activated complex between colliding hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Because of their unstable nature and brief existence, very little is known about the exact structures of many activated complexes.

    An activated complex is a short-lived state in which the colliding particles are at the peak of the potential energy curve.
