If it takes energy to break bonds and you gain energy in the formation of bonds, how can some reactions be exothermic, while others are endothermic?
A. Some products have more energy than others and they always require energy to be formed. B. It is the total amount of energy that matters. Sometimes some bonds are stronger than others and so you gain or lose energy when you form them. C. It is the total number of bonds that matters.
