Transition states correspond to energy peaks in a reaction coordinate. Although they cannot be observed, the structure of transition states can be inferred from the structures of starting materials, intermediates, and products on the same curve. Speculative structures of transition states are characterized by partial bonds and partial charges that reflect the changing state of atoms during the reaction step. All chemical reactions have transition states.
