Answer:

False. When bonds are broken, energy is absorbed.

Explanation:

Atoms form bonds to seek stability, which means lower energy compared to when they were separated. This means that separating atoms by breaking bonds is not energetically favourable.

Therefore, in order to break a chemical bond we need to provide energy to the system, which makes the process endothermic (it absorbes energy).

The attached image shows an energy diagram for the H₂ molecule, showing the variation in energy during bond formation.

False. Breaking Bonds → Energy Absorbed

You have to put energy into a molecule to break its chemical bonds. The amount needed is called the bond energy. If you think about it, molecules don't spontaneously break.

DochEvi [55]

Air pressure is what you measure with a tire gauge. Atmospheric pressure is what you measure with a mercury barometer. Let me be more specific. Pressure is the amount of force per unit area that a gas exerts on a surface.

The correct answer is option C, that is, both vitamin C and zinc are involved in immune system functions.

Vitamin C is an important vitamin, which does an essential function in wound healing, immunity, and eye health. On the other hand, zinc refers to a dietary mineral, which also helps in immunity, protects the eyes from vision-robbing ailments, and also helps to heal wounds.
