What's the actual or official definition of activation energy?
Activation Energy is the minimum amount of energy needed extra than the average potential energy of the reactants to cause a reaction.And it does not change with the change of temperature, and for clarification the energy of the reactant molecules don't also change with the reaction. It is just the rate which changes with the reaction according to the arrhenius equation k=Ae^{-\frac{Ea}{RT}}So,the fraction of molecules having energy higher than activation energy changes with change in temperature. I think the easier definition can be stated like this
