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.
Exothermic Reaction Examples. Exothermic chemical reactions release heat to the environment. AITCH, Getty Images. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases heat and has a negative enthalpy (-Î´H) and positive entropy (+Î´S).. These reactions are energetically favorable and often occur spontaneously, but sometimes you need a little extra energy to get them started.
