If energy is stored in chemical bonds, and bond formation is always an exothermic process, doesn't that imply that bond formation both stores and releases energy? How is this possible? I'm clearly not understanding some basic tenet of chemistry. For example, H+ and OH- neutralize to form H2O.
When chemical reactions take place, chemical bonds are broken in the reactants and new chemical bonds are formed in the products. It is as a result of these processes that a reaction is overall exothermic (energy is given out to the surroundigs) or overall endothermic (energy is absorbed from the surroundings).ond making is an exothermic process. But, if a particular bond in a molecule is broken and then reformed the same amount of energy must be involved, because the First Law of Thermodynamics (also known as the 'law of conservation of energy') must apply.
