From this point the probability of the reaction going to completion and producing a product is very high. The transition state separates (energetically) products from reactants. It is viewed as being at the top of the energy barrier separating reactants and products. The reacting species in the transition state can, because of their location at the \"top\" of the energy barrier, \"fall\" to either products or reactants."}
