How is average bond strength related to relative potential energy of the reactants and the products? so the average bond strength is closely related to the relative potential energy of the reactant and product in the chemical reaction.
00:14
So the core idea is that the bond strength is a measurement of how much energy is required to break a bond.
00:21
So this is the definition of bond strengths.
00:48
So a stronger bond, this equals lower potential energy.
00:52
So basically, when atoms form strong bonds, they release energy result in a lower energy state for the newly formed molecule compared to the individual atom.
01:30
And also this release of energy is what drives the formation of a bond in the first place.
01:37
In other words, a stronger bond means that the bond in between the two atoms are more.
01:46
More stable.
01:48
So from there, you can see that for reactant, energies are required to break bonds.
02:18
And the products, this is bond forming release energy.
02:41
So, and bond breaking is what we call endothermic.
02:47
And the bond breaking is exothermic...
