Q

Define a high energy intermediate using thermodynamic language

A

It is a chemical species in a reaction pathway that has a limited chemical lifetime because the products of its hydrolysis are much more stable that it is, so it has a large negative gibbs free energy, which can be used to drive other non spontaneous reactions.
