When electrons move closer to a more electronegative atom, what happens?

• The more electronegative atom is reduced, and energy is released.

• The more electronegative atom is reduced, and energy is consumed.

• The more electronegative atom is oxidized, and energy is consumed.

• The more electronegative atom is oxidized, and energy is released.

• The more electronegative atom is reduced, and entropy decreases.

Why does the oxidation of organic compounds by molecular oxygen to produce CO₂ and water release free energy?

• The covalent bonds in organic molecules and molecular oxygen have more kinetic energy than the covalent bonds in water and carbon dioxide.

• Electrons are being moved from atoms that have a lower affinity for electrons (such as C) to atoms with a higher affinity for electrons (such as O).

• The oxidation of organic compounds can be used to make ATP.

• The electrons have a higher potential energy when associated with water and CO₂ than they do in organic compounds.

• The covalent bond in O₂ is unstable and easily broken by electrons from organic molecules.
