If you’re going to stick with MathJax in the title, let’s at least have correct formatting.

It's almost always like this with reactions. You input activation energy to get unstable transition state which leads to products | |

| Sep 30, 2017 at 16:08 | comment | added | YourAverageEuler | I reckon knowing a reaction mechanism and understanding it step -by-step are quite different things @Mithoron | |

Added a crude source, uploaded the image to imgur as should always be the case, cleanup of the reaction name
