Question

People often think bonds store or hold energy. If that is true, should the energy be high or low when a bond forms?

Answer 1

Answer:

The energy should be high.

Explanation:

Bonds do store energy and release it depending if it's endothermic or exothermic. The energy should be low because when a bond forms (endothermic) it releases heat, which helps form bonds. Having a high energy means the bond is absorbing energy, which helps break bonds (endothermic). How this helps!
