For an endergonic reaction step, the Hammond postulate allows one to say thatthe transition state of the step resembles the reactants of the step.the transition state is precisely symmetric with bond-breaking and bond-formingoccurring to the same extent.the reaction containing this step is overall first order.the transition state of the step resembles the products of the step.the step is rate-determining since it has the smallest Ea.

According to Hammond's postulate, the transition state of a reaction looks like the reactants or…
