AI Thread Summary
A "thermodynamic entity" refers to a specific state or configuration in a thermodynamic system, particularly in the context of Transition State Theory. This theory posits that the transition state, which is a high-energy state during a chemical reaction, can be treated as a distinct entity for analysis. Understanding this term requires context about how it relates to energy changes and reaction pathways. The discussion highlights the need for clearer definitions and examples to grasp the concept fully. Clarifying the term will enhance comprehension of its role in thermodynamics and chemical kinetics.

I don't understand of what a "thermodynamic entity" is?
 
Science news on Phys.org
You'll have to give more context. Maybe a longer quote?

The Transition State Theory assumes that the transition state could be considered as a "thermodynamic entity" .
But i don'y get the term within the quotes.
