When you hit a piece of graphite and break it into small pieces you have broken chemical bonds?

This is FALSE ! Because you only broke it in pieces and tearing or breaking into pieces is a PHYSICAL CHANGE not a chemical change.

I also consider that breaking graphite is only a physical change.

It's true, you break chemical bonds when you break pieces of graphite.
Graphite is a macromolecule: it is found in sheets, and within the sheets each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. The only way you could possibly get it apart is to break the bonds between atoms.

How is chemical energy stored and released?
Chemical energy is held in the bonds between the atoms of molecules and is released when these bonds are broken, as in burning. Such a reaction usually starts by applying heat to activate the burning process. As the chemical burns, bonds break, and energy escapes as heat and light.
What potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together is call?
Intuitively, the term for this kind of potential energy is bond (or bonding) energy.
How is energy stored in a cracker?
energy is stored in a cracker by the chemical bonds that have been created in the making of the cracker. when the cracker is digested these bonds are broken and energy is released.
When hair is permed what types of bonds are broken?
Polypeptide bonds
When bonds are broken is energy released or stored?
energy is release by the breaking of bonds
How is a chemical bond usually broken?
Chemical bonds are both formed and broken during chemical reactions. For example, bonds are formed and broken in the synthesis reaction 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O. The bonds in both diatomic oxygen and hydrogen are broken, forming new bonds to form a water molecule.
Are chemical bonds broken?
Yes
How are bonds related to chemical bonds?
Bonds in the reactants are broken, and bonds in the product are formed.
How are chemical bonds dissolved?
Chemical bonds are not dissolved they are broken down and compounds becomes dissolved.
What is broken before a chemical reaction take place?
They are called chemical bonds, or just bonds.
What chemical is released when chemical bonds of glucose are broken?
ATP
What happens chemical bonds during a chemical reaction?
Some or all of the existing chemical bonds in the reactants are broken and new chemical bonds are formed in the products.
Is ionic or covalent broken and formed in chemical reactions?
During chemical reactions bonds are broken.
What is formed or broken in a chemical reaction?
Some bonds between atoms are broken and new bonds are formed.
How energy is made available by chemical reaction?
in chemical reactions, energy is absorbed or released when chemical bonds are broken and new ones are formed.
They are broken before a chemical reaction takes place?
Chemical Bonds
What kind of chemical bonds are broken in melting of candle?
Usually, no chemical bonds are broken in a melting process. This generalization is probably true for most if not all candles.
