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.
Chemical energy Chemical Energy is released when bonds form in a chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by-product (exothermic reaction). There are two important terms to know in the study of chemical energy. 1. Exoergic: An exothermic (exoergic) nuclear reaction is a reaction that releases energy when chemical bonds form. 2. Endoergic: an endothermic (or endoergic) reaction is one that requires an input of energy to take place.
