Re: The Collision Model and Activated Complex Model

for activated complex, basically you have an electonegative atom break off from a molecule and another electronegative atom come to bond with the molecule. You use dotted lines to represent broken/formed bonds

Re: 15.85 Drawing structures for activated complex

Activated complex is the transition state of a reaction. Basically, an electronegative atom breaks off from a molecule and a nucleophile comes to take its place. In the transition state, you would use dotted lines to represent formed/broken bonds. This is what people refer to as the double dagger
