Yes, bond formation can be either endothermic or exothermic, depending on the specific bonds being formed. In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed to break existing bonds and form new ones.

Is breaking bonds a exothermic or endothermic process?

Breaking bonds is an endothermic process because energy is required to overcome the attractive forces holding the atoms together in a bond. When bonds are broken, energy is absorbed from the surroundings, making it an endothermic reaction. Conversely, forming bonds is an exothermic process because energy is released when new bonds are formed, resulting in a net release of energy.


Is bond breaking endothermic?

Yes, bond breaking is typically endothermic, meaning it requires energy input to break bonds.


How bond formation and bond breaking related to enthalpy?

Enthalpy is the measurement of total energy change of a reaction. The energy of bond formation and bond breaking can be used to calculate the bond enthalpy of the reaction. Bond enthalpy is the enthalphy change when 1 mol of bond is broken. Therefore the general equation to calculate the enthalpy change is energy of bond broken subtract by energy of bond formation.


Do endothermic reactions favor the formation of products or the presence of reactants?

Endothermic reactions favor the formation of products over the presence of reactants.


Is the formation of ammonium nitrate crystals from an aqueous state endothermic or exothermic?

Endothermic. That is why it is used in ice packs.


Is carbon dioxide formation endothermic and exothermic?

Exothermic because the heat of formation is -566. Exo- is negative and Endo- is positive.


Is bond breaking an endothermic or exothermic process?

Breaking bonds produces energy making it an exothermic process.


Does the process of bond formation release energy?

Yes, the process of bond formation can release energy.


Why is bond breaking an endothermic process and bond formation is an exothermic process?

the answer is pretty much the same as why freezing is an exothermic reaction-- because the release of energy is occurring as bonds are forming. to form bonds, energy must be inputted or it won't happen naturally. this might lead one to think that it is endothermic but it's not. you have to think of it in terms of the energy of the particles forming the bond. the particles that will later form the bonds have higher energy to begin with because they have more entropy. when the bond forms, the particles will give off energy in order to sort of move less. they are being ordered, against nature, therefore have less energy. you can kind of think of it like gas particles coming together to form a liquid. the particles that used to be zooming around are more organized and cannot move as much in all exothermic reactions the reactants will have higher energy than the products.


Where does the thermal energy go in such endothermic phase changes?

It is converted to bond energy


Is the formation of water endothermic or exothermic?

The process is endothermic because the water is absorbing heat from the kettle. When energy (heat) is released as steam this is exothermic.
