Interpretation:The bonds that must be broken and the bonds that must be formed needs to be listed for the given reaction.
Concept introduction: During a reaction, bonds between atoms of reactants are broken. These atoms rearrange and new bonds are formed to form products.
Answer to Problem 2A
The triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms and single bond between two hydrogen atoms must be broken and three single bonds must be formed between one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms for the
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
N2 and H2 are reactants. Sothe triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms and single bond between two hydrogen atoms must be broken and three single bonds must form between one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms for the formation of product ammonia.
Thus, bond between the two nitrogen atoms and single bond between two hydrogen atoms must be broken and three single bonds and bond must be formed between one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms for the chemical reaction to take place.
