Interpretation Introduction To determine: Which statement is true of an endothermic reaction? Strong bonds break and weak bonds form. Weak bonds break and strong bonds form. The bonds that break and those that form are of approximately the same strength. Explanation We know that the endothermic reactions need heat to be supplied from the surroundings. This implies that energy or heat is being taken from the surroundings and given to the reaction. Further, we know that energy is released when bonds are formed, and energy is absorbed when bonds are broken; hence, compounds formed are more stable and contain less energy when they form bonds. Further, we know that the energy absorbed when the old bonds are broken is less than the energy released from the formation of new bonds; the exces...

Types of Chemical Bonds

The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds b…

Polarizability In Organic Chemistry

Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.

Coordinate Covalent Bonds

A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate…
