Visualize the reaction energy diagram for a one-step, endothermic chemical reaction. Compare the heights of the activation energies for the forward and reverse reactions. 

Hammond postulate Related species (on a reaction-energy diagram) that are closer in energy are also closer in structure. In an exothermic reaction, the transition state is closer to the reactants in energy and in structure. In an endothermic reaction, the transition state is closer to the products in energy and in structure (pi 149)...

A reaction energy diagram for eiectrophiiic aromatic substitution. The eiectrophiie adds to benzene in an endothermic first step, with ioss of aromaticity. A proton at the carbon attacked by the electrophile is iost in an exothermic second step, with restoration of aromaticity. 

Let us consider the formation of sodium chloride from its elements. An energy (enthalpy) diagram (called a Born-Haber cycle) for the reaction of sodium and chlorine is given in Figure 3.7. (As in the energy diagram for the formation of hydrogen chloride, an upward arrow represents an endothermic process and a downward arrow an exothermic process.)... 

Like tert butyloxonium ion tert butyl cation is an intermediate along the reaction pathway It is however a relatively unstable species and its formation by dissociation of the alkyloxonium ion is endothermic Step 2 is the slowest step m the mechanism and has the highest activation energy Figure 4 8 shows a potential energy diagram for this step...

Fig. 4.5 Schematic projection of the energetics of a reaction. The diagram shows the Born-Oppenheimer energy surface mapped onto the reaction coordinate. The barrier height AE has its zero at the bottom of the reactant well. One of the 3n — 6 vibrational modes orthogonal to the reaction coordinate is shown in the transition state. H and D zero point vibrational levels are shown schematically in the reactant, product, and transition states. The reaction as diagrammed is slightly endothermic, AE > 0. The semiclassical reaction path follows the dash-dot arrows. Alternatively part of the reaction may proceed by tunneling through the barrier from reactants to products with a certain probability as shown with the gray arrow...

A potential energy diagram for an endothermic reaction is shown in Figure 6.13. The reactants at the beginning of the reaction are at a lower energy level than the products. The overall difference in potential energy between reactants and products is the enthalpy change. 

The energy diagram above details endothermic reactions, where the total potential energy of the reactants is smaller than that of products. 

The energy diagrams of an endothermic and exothermic reaction are compared below. 

The potential-energy diagram for the El reaction (Figure 6-12) is similar to that for the SnI reaction. The ionization step is strongly endothermic, with a rate-limiting...

According to the Hammond postulate, the transition state of an endothermic reaction resembles the produets, so the energy of aetivation to form the more stable 2° radical is lower and it is formed faster, as shown in the energy diagram in Figure 15.5. Because the 2° radical [(CH3)2CH-] is converted to 2-bromopropane [(CH3)2CHBr] in the seeond propagation step, this 2° alkyl halide is the major product of bromination.
