Covalent Bond vs Ionic Bond

Why is energy...

Question

Why is energy released when new bonds are formed ?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student
When a chemical reaction takes place at first bonds are broken and then new bonds are formed. During bond breaking energy are released and during bond making energy is accepted but released energy is more than that of accepted. So energy is released when new bonds are formed. Due to this reason most of the bonds are exothermic in nature.

Q. The amount of energy required to break a bond is same as the amount of energy released when the same bond is formed. In gaseous state, the energy required for homolytic cleavage of a bond is called Bond Dissociation Energy (BDE) or Bond Strength. BDE is affected by s-character of the bond and the stability of the radicals formed. Shorter bonds are typically stronger bonds. BDEs for some bonds are given below:
