Which subomatic particles are rearrange when chemical bonds are formed and broken?

Electrons are the subatomic particles that are rearranged when chemical bonds are formed and broken. They can be shared, transferred, or rearranged between atoms to create or break chemical bonds.


When bonds are formed does it require energy?

No. It requires energy to break bonds, but energy is released when bonds are formed.


What happends when bonds break and new bonds form?

A new molecule is formed after a chemical reaction.


What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated?

The particles in a liguid are bonded (not as strongly as a solid which is why it flows.) when it is heated the particles vibrate and eventually the bonds break and the particles break away. This is evaporation.


What happens to the bonds between atoms during a chemical change?

They break and new bonds are formed


What kind of reaction is formed when ionic or covalent bonds are broken and elements ions or simpler molecules are formed?

Ionic bonds break through a reaction called ionization, where ions with opposite charges are formed. Covalent bonds break through a reaction called cleavage, where simpler molecules or atoms are formed.


What statements are true about chemical bonding?

Energy is absorbed to break bonds. When bonds are formed, energy is released


Do reactants and products break during a chemical reaction?

In a reaction, the bonds in reactants are broken down (endothermic) and new bonds formed. The new bonds formed (exothermic) will result in the formation of the products.


What happens to the temperature when bonds are broken?

If you mean the bonds as in the bonds between particles at different states of matter. Then the temperature actually effect whether the bonds break or not, if the bonds in matter break the state of matter changes to a gas, whose particles are free moving and are completely unattached. Different liquids change to gas at different temperatures. Hope this helped :)


What is the relationship between thermal energy movement of particles and bonds?

Thermal energy is related to the movement of particles in a substance. As thermal energy increases, the particles move faster, leading to an increase in temperature. This movement can also affect the strength of bonds between particles, as higher thermal energy can potentially disrupt or break these bonds.


What happens to the bonds of reactants and products in a chemical reaction?

The process is obviously more involved than it sounds, but here's the basic process. When particles of the reactant collide with enough force and at the right orientation, the reactant bonds briefly break. For a split second they're in a state known as the activated complex. Then the bonds reform between different particles that once formed the reactants. New bonds are formed, and you've got the product, usually with a change of energy in the form of heat as well.


Do exothermic and endothermic occur as bonds break and reform?

Yes, exothermic and endothermic reactions are related to the breaking and forming of bonds. In an exothermic reaction, energy is released when new bonds are formed, resulting in a net release of energy, while in an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed to break bonds, leading to a net intake of energy. The overall energy change in a reaction depends on the balance between the energy required to break bonds and the energy released when new bonds are formed.
