It is formed when a metal element is chemically combined to a nonmetal. The metal element will form a positive ion and the nonmetal will form a negative ion. They will then combined to form a very strong bond with very strong electrostatic forces between the particles.
A is Ea, which stands for activating energy. Energy is needed to get the reaction underway and Ea is the energy needed to “start” the reaction.
B is the temperature either released or absorbed.
The diagram shows that the reaction is exothermic based on the fact that the products energy is lower than the reactants. That is because energy (which is temperature in this case) is released during the process. If the reactants would have been lower than the products, the reaction would be endothermic.
Science has classified energy into two main forms: kinetic energy and potential energy. In addition, potential energy takes several forms of its own. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object.
