Question

Which of the following statements is true about what happens during a chemical reaction?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Bonds of the reactants are broken, and bonds of the products are formed.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: In a chemical reaction, reactants react to form a number of products.

For the formation of products, the bonds of the individual reactants must be broken and the bonds of the products must be formed.

For example: Formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Reaction follows:

$2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$

The Bonds of hydrogen and oxygen molecule are broken and new bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are formed to give water molecule.
