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.
in all exothermic reactions the reactants will have higher energy than the products. the answer is pretty much the same as why freezing is an exothermic reaction-- because the release of energy is occurring as bonds are forming. to form bonds, energy must be inputted or it won't happen naturally.
