If a chemical reaction does not reach its activation energy, the most likely occurrence is:
**The chemical bonds will remain unchanged.**
In order for a chemical reaction to proceed, the reactants must reach a certain energy threshold known as the activation energy. If this energy is not reached, the reactants do not have sufficient energy to break their bonds and form new ones, so the bonds will remain intact and unchanged.
