energy is released
Chemical duhhh
When a chemical bond forms, energy is absorbed between the atoms that bond. When a chemical bond is broken, energy is immediately and dramatically released.
The potential energy is transformed to heat or light energy
Ionic Bond
an ionic bond forms
yes but only if the chemical change cannot be reversed back into what it was before...
ionic bond
Covalent bonds
No. A chemical bond forms from the sharing or transferring of the outermost electrons of two or more elements.
During formation of bond,the atoms come close,then their are two possibilities 1. The force of attraction between electron of one atom and the nucleus of the other atom and the electron of the other atom attracts the nucleus of the another atom.This attractive forces lowers the potential energy of the two atoms and their are chances of bond formation. 2.There are also repulsive forces between nucleus-nucleus and electron-electron,which increases the potential energy. But as the attractive forces are dominant over the repulsive forces,therefore atoms come close and lower the energy of atoms forming bond.... During the formation of bond the potential energy of the atoms decreased.
ionic bond
Ionic; it's a bond between a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (Cl).
