Arrhenius compared the strong temperature dependence of reaction rates with an activated-molecule population model, motivating the exponential rate relation bearing his name.

Each relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The empirical temperature dependence and activated-population interpretation led to the Arrhenius rate expression; modern transition-state theory supplies a more detailed basis.
The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.
