No. Chemical changes can release heat (exothermic) or absorb heat (endothermic). The change in molecular structure determines whether energy is stored or released. Example of exothermic : * combustion of paper (oxidation, releasing carbon bond energy) * acetic acid (vinegar) accelerates the oxidation of steel wool (rusting) Example of endothermic : * Combination of citric acid and baking soda : temperature of the mixture shows a definite drop before rewarming by room temperature air. * In a commercial "Cold Pack", the chemicals mix and absorb heat. There are reactions which require an activation energy before proceeding to an exothermic change. This is demonstrated by the common matchstick.

What happens to chemical bonds during chemical change?

During a chemical change, chemical bonds are broken between atoms in the reactants and new bonds are formed to create products. Energy is either released or absorbed during bond breaking and forming processes. The types and strengths of the bonds determine the overall energy change of the chemical reaction.

Energy is what in a chemical change?

In a chemical change, energy is either absorbed or released. When bonds are broken, energy is absorbed (endothermic reaction), and when bonds are formed, energy is released (exothermic reaction). Overall, the total energy of the system may change during a chemical reaction.

In a chemical change energy does what?

In a chemical change, energy is either absorbed or released. This can result in changes in temperature, light production, or other forms of energy transfer during the reaction.


Why is a phase change not a chemical reaction?

A phase change is a physical change that involves rearranging the molecules in a substance without changing its chemical composition. In contrast, a chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, resulting in the formation of new substances with different chemical compositions.
