Bond breaking

  • Endothermic - requires energy to break bonds

  • ΔH positive

  • Stronger bonds take more energy to break

2
New cards

Bond making

  • Exothermic - releases energy by breaking bonds

  • ΔH negative

  • Stronger bonds release more energy when they form

3
New cards

Bond enthalpy

The energy required to break bonds

4
New cards

Mean bond enthalpy

Average energy needed to break a certain type of bond, over a range of compounds

Always positive - breaking bonds = endothermic

<p><strong>Average energy</strong> needed to break a certain type of bond, over a range of compounds</p><p><strong>Always positive</strong> - breaking bonds = <strong>endothermic</strong></p>
5
New cards

Bond enthalpy variation

Energy needed to break a bond depends on its environment → same type of bond may require different amounts of energy to break

6
New cards

Enthalpy change of reaction formula

Enthalpy change of reaction = total energy absorbed - total energy released
