As reacting particles approach each other, repulsive forces between they're electron clouds cause them to slow down and lose energy. This lost kinetic energy converts to increased potential energy of colliding particles. If colliding particles have sufficient kinetic energy they will approach close enough to form a transition state, also known as activated complex, the highest potential energy state for the reaction.
