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 an adiabatic system (i.e. a system that does not exchange heat with the surroundings), an exothermic process results in an increase in temperature of the system. In exothermic chemical reactions, the heat that is released by the reaction takes the form of electromagnetic energy.The transition of electrons from one quantum energy level to another causes light to be released.ts etymology stems from the Greek prefix Î­Î¾Ï (exÅ, which means outwards) and the Greek word Î¸ÎµÏÎ¼Î¹ÎºÏÏ (thermikÏs, which means thermal). The term exothermic was first coined by Marcellin Berthelot. The opposite of an exothermic process is an endothermic process, one that absorbs energy in the form of heat.
