FINAL STUDY (unit 7)

Question 1

Atoms form bonds to:

Answer 1

-decr potential energy
- increase stability

Question 2

Forming a chemical bond =

Answer 2

exothermic process (releases energy)

Question 3

When atoms bond, energy is…

Answer 3

released and the stability of the atoms increases

Question 4

When breaking a chemical bond =

Answer 4

endothermic process (absorbs energy)

Question 5

When bonds are broken, energy is….

Answer 5

absorbed casuing potential enegy to increase and stability to decrease

Question 6

Compounds have less….

Answer 6

potential energy that the individual atoms they are formed from (more stable)
