Answer:
1. Exothermic 2. Exothermic 3. Endothermic 4. Endothermic 5. Exothermic.
Explanation:
1. An A-A and a C-C bond results in 2 A-C bonds which are lower than the A-A and C-C bonds so this reaction is exothermic.
2. A B-B bond and a C-C bond results in 2 B-C bonds which are lower than the first 2 bonds so this reaction is also exothermic.
3. There is no bond for single A, a single B-C bond results in a A-B bond and a C molecule. A-B bond is stronger than the B-C bond so the reaction absorbed energy along the way. This shows that it is endothermic.
4. An A-A bond and a B-B bond results in 2 A-B bonds which are stronger than the first two bonds so this reaction is also endothermic.
5. An A-B bond and a C molecule result in an A-C bond and a B molecule. A-C bond is weaker than the A-B bond so there is energy released. This reaction is exothermic.
I hope this answer helps.
