Define Bond Energy, Activation Energy
Differentiate between Breaking and Making Bond Energies.
Bond Energy:
Energy needed to break different chemical bonds.
This energy is called the bond energy.
Breaking Bond Energy:
Breaking bonds requires energy.
It is endothermic.
Making Bond Energy:
Making new bonds gives out energy.
It is exothermic.
Activation Energy:
The minimum energy required to cause a reaction to occur.
The minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical change.
