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.

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

The sympathetic chain contains a group of cell bodies called the sympathetic chain Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The sympathetic chain contains a group of cell bodies called the sympathetic chain GANGLIA. This structure contains a second cell body for the sympathetic nervous system, the first in the series being found in the THORACOLUMBAR REGIONS' lateral horn of spinal segments T1-L2. The purpose of the VENTRAL AND DORSAL rami is to carry visceral motor and visceral sensory neurons to and from this sympathetic chain.

Explanation:

The sympathetic trunks (sympathetic chain, gangliated cord) are a paired bundle of nerve fibers that run from the base of the skull to the coccyx.
