Bond making and breaking

LO: describe enthalpy changes


using energy level diagrams

Are you endo or exothermic?


Make methane and oxygen
Time how long it takes to take them both
apart, this is the endothermic section
Time how long it takes to put them back
together to form water and carbon dioxide
This is the exothermic section
Draw this on an energy level diagram and
say whether your reaction it exo or
endothermic

Breaking chemical bonds

Most chemicals will decompose (break up) if we


heat them strongly enough.
This indicates that breaking chemical bonds
requires energy is an endothermic process.

Energy needed to
overcome the

Making chemical bonds

It is reasonable to assume that bond making will


be the opposite of bond breaking
Energy will be given out in an exothermic
process when bonds are formed.
Heat given out

Energy given out as


bonds form between
atoms

Energy in chemicals

Energy given out

Changes to chemical bonds


Endothermic Reactions

In most chemical reactions some existing bonds


are broken (endothermic)

Energy taken
in as old
bonds break
reactants

Energy given
out as new
bonds form

Overall
endothermic
in this case
H

Energy in chemicals

But new bonds are made (exothermic)

products

Changes to chemical bonds


Exothermic Reactions

Again some existing bonds are broken


(endothermic)

Energy taken in
as old bonds
break

reactants

Overall
exothermic
in this case

Energy given out


as new bonds
form
H

Energy in chemicals

And new bonds are formed (exothermic)

Bonds break

Where the energy from bond forming exceeds


that needed for bond breaking the reaction is
exothermic.
Where the energy for bond breaking exceeds
that from bond forming the reaction is
endothermic.

Activity

The formation of nitrogen (IV) oxide (formula


NO2) from reaction of nitrogen with oxygen in
car engines has a H value of +33.2kJ per mol
of nitrogen oxide.
