Yes, a stronger bond requires more energy to break, and also releases more energy when it is made. In a chemical reaction, if you are breaking strong bonds, and only making weak ones, the reaction will require a lot of energy (endothermic). If instead you are breaking weak bonds and making very strong ones in the products, the reaction will release energy (exothermic).

∙ 15y agoBonds have to absorb energy to break bonds. Heat is always absorbed when chemical bonds are broken (endothermic reaction). Heat is given off when bonds are formed (exothermic reaction).

What bonds of the reactants are broken in this reaction?
Energy is the key for any reaction to take place. To break the bonds of a substance, a fixed amount of energy is required which is called bond energy. For some substances the bond energy is low and they do not require external energy and start reaction on their on there own whereas for some substances we have to provide external energy for the reaction to take place.
Chemical energy is contained in what?
chemical energy is the energy stored in a matter such as food and fuel
How Is energy stored in chemical bonds?
Energy is stored in the potential energy of the electrons that make up that bond. This energy is released once the bond is broken.
What do heterotrophs use water for?
Heterotrophs use water to break the bonds to make energy.
How important are chemical bonds in metabolism?
Chemical bonds are broken to supply us with energy. Without bonds, and our ability to break them, the food we eat would not supply us with energy.
What does making bonds do to energy?
Chemical bonds take a great deal of energy to make, therefore, to create more bonds in a reaction, more energy is required.
Why do Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid have an exothermic reaction?
It will as the energy required to break the bonds is more than the energy required to make the new bonds.
How does the cell make energy?
It oxidizes sugars to convert chemical bonds to energy.
When bonds are formed is energy required?
Yes, it needs intermoleculor force which isalso energy.Sometimes. Most often, there are two types of bond reactions. Endothermic, and exothermic. Some bonds release energy when a compound is made, while others take in energy. Endothermic bonds do just that. So not all bonds require energy, but to acquire it, bonds may take energy from the air( lowering the temperature), or vaporize substances close by and turn that energy into fuel.
What causes chemical bond to break during a reaction?
Energy is added to break bonds, so there is your simple answer. But some bonus info for you:Bond energy is the amount of energy it will take to break a bond (ironic, because it sounds like the amount of energy it will take to MAKE a bond, even though it's the opposite).Energy is released when bonds form, and the same amount of energy is released when the bond is broken.
The energy in biomass is used to make electricity how is the energy stored in biomass?

Can I use verb plus s if there is does in the question e.g. take or takes?
If there is 'does' in the question then you can use verb but not s. e.g. Does it take energy to break bonds?If there is 'does' in the question then you can use a verb but not s. e.g. Does it take energy to break bonds?
When bonds are formed does it require energy?
No. It requires energy to break bonds, but energy is released when bonds are formed.
Where is the energy stored in gasoline before it is combusted?
As in all hydrocarbons the energy is stored in the covalent bonds that make the compound. The bonds between H-C and C-C The energy is released when these bonds break. The bonds are broken using a little incentive such as fire or a spark in the presence of oxygen.
When do atoms form bonds?
Always get ready to give or take energy to get stability.
How is stored chemical energy released?
It is stored in bonds and released in energy. Energy is needed to break the chemical bonds, and energy is released when bonds are broken.
