The wide variations of calculated activation energies for solid decomposition suggests that there is no discrete activated state. Further, the statistical distribution on which the calculations are based is not a realistic concept. The lowest energy possible — and most frequently occurring — is the energy of the bulk crystal. Within the crystalline solid, vibrational interactions transfer energy so rapidly that a substantial difference from the average energy is not achievable within the crystal. The lack of a statistical distribution rules out the use of the Arrhenius equation unless it is independently verified for the particular system.
