IB Chemistry Option C Energy

What energy changes occur when chemical bonds are formed and broken?

• Energy is absorbed when bonds are formed and when they are broken.

• Energy is released when bonds are formed and when they are broken.

• Energy is absorbed when bonds are formed and released when they are broken.

• Energy is released when bonds are formed and absorbed when they are broken.
