What is the basic difference between exergonic and endergonic reactions? Group of answer choices Exergonic reactions release ene
rgy; endergonic reactions absorb it. Exergonic reactions involve ionic bonds; endergonic reactions involve covalent bonds. Exergonic reactions involve the breaking of bonds; endergonic reactions involve the formation of bonds. In exergonic reactions, the reactants have less chemical energy than the products; in endergonic reactions, the opposite is true.
Electron affinity increases upward for the groups and from left to right across periods of a periodic table because the electrons added to energy levels become closer to the nucleus, thus a stronger attraction between the nucleus and its electrons.
