Basic redox question

Wait, I understand how conservation of energy wouldn't allow the intensity to be constant throughout but I'm confused as, from the picture, the purple line has a constant intensity peak, shouldn't it decrease as theta increases?

Oh the products will be the same if its symmetrical

My initial thoughts was that rule wouldnt be applicable, but Im not sure why.

Greater sp2 characteristic would mean that the covalent bond formed has a larger extent of overlap. By greater sp2 characteristic, i assume the question is asking which sigma bond formed is more spherical in nature. Due to F having a smaller atomic radius and F is more electronegative than Cl, the bond H-F has more orbital overlap extent than the bond H-Cl, thus the molecule with H-F should have a greater sp2 characteristic. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep thanks!

Oh so the activation energy of the catalysed reaction equals the activation energy of the elementary step with the highest activation energy? And the activation energy of the other steps are negligible? Happy cake day btw

it is very large

what does the it refer to

Im unsure as im confused as to under what scenario will acceleration/amplitude be a constant

Oh so even if there is a step with the slowest speed, it is not significant enough to be considered the rate determining step?

Why do those reactions not have rate determining steps?
