transition state
In a general organizational or psychological context, this term describes a period of flux where the old system has been dismantled but the new one is not yet fully operational. It often carries a connotation of instability, uncertainty, or vulnerability, as the subject is neither here nor there.
In chemistry, the term is a precise technical descriptor for a fleeting, high-energy arrangement of atoms. Unlike a reaction intermediate, which is a stable molecule that can sometimes be isolated, a transition state is a theoretical peak on an energy profile and exists only for an infinitesimal moment.
