Enthalpy of Formation. The (molar) enthalpy of formation is the heat released ( ) or absorbed ( ) in a chemical reaction at constant pressure when simple substances combine into a more complex substance. At standard conditions of pressure and temperature (1 atm and 298 K), it is denoted . For elements in their standard states, .
The change in enthalpy is negative in exothermic processes, because energy is released from the system into its surroundings. Generally, a positive change in enthalpy is required to break a bond, while a negative change in enthalpy is accompanied by the formation of a bond. In other words, breaking a bond is an endothermic process, while the formation of bonds is exothermic. Bond Enthalpy or Dissociation Energy.
