|---|---|
| What is enthalpy (∆H)? | Heat energy exchanged between a reaction and its surroundings. |
| What happens energetically when a bond breaks? | The system absorbs energy. |
| What happens energetically when a bond forms? | Energy is emitted. |
| What is an exothermic reaction? | Bond formation releases more energy than bond breaking requires |
| What is true of products in an exothermic reaction? | They are more stable and lower in heat energy than reactants. |
| What is true of ∆H for an exothermic reaction? | ∆H is negative. |
