Bond energy is the amount of energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms.
congrats on reading the definition of Bond Energy. now let's actually learn it.
Activation Energy: This is the minimum amount of energy that reactants must have in order for a chemical reaction to occur.
Endothermic Reaction: A type of reaction where heat is absorbed from surroundings, similar to how breaking bonds requires an input of energy.
Exothermic Reaction: A type of reaction where heat is released into surroundings, akin to how forming bonds releases energy.
