Which consequence results when an endothermic reaction occurs without sufficient activation energy?

💡 Explanation

Absence of sufficient activation energy prevents reactants overcoming the energy barrier, so reactants cannot reach the transition state. Catalysts don't trigger otherwise impossible outcomes, rather lower the activation energy; therefore, the reaction remains incomplete at original state, rather than proceeding partially.
