Question

Which of these takes place when a chemical change occurs? option 1: Bonds connecting atoms in products and reactants form. option 2: Bonds connecting atoms in products and reactants break. option 3: Bonds connecting atoms in reactants break, and bonds connecting atoms in products form. option 4: Bonds connecting atoms in reactants form, and bonds connecting atoms in products break.

Answer 1

Answer: Out of the given options bonds connecting atoms in reactants break, and bonds connecting atoms in products form are the changes which takes place when a chemical change occurs.

Explanation:

A change that leads to the change in chemical composition of a substance is called a chemical change.

For example, $2NH_{3} \rightarrow N_{2} + 3H_{2}$

Here, bond between the reactant atoms nitrogen and hydrogen is broken down.

On the other hand, bond connecting the products that is $N_{2}$ and $H_{2}$ is formed.

Thus,, we can conclude that out of the given options bonds connecting atoms in reactants break, and bonds connecting atoms in products form are the changes which takes place when a chemical change occurs.
