Question 1

what is a chemical reaction?

Answer 1

a process that either forms or breaks the chemical bonds that hold atoms together.

Question 1

all chemical reactions either?

Answer 1

release energy or require an input of energy

Question 2

reactions that release energy is called?

Answer 2

exergonic reaction: reactants contain more energy than the products

Question 3

reactions that require an input of energy is called?

Answer 3

endergonic reaction: products contain more energy than the reactants.

Question 4

every chemical reaction requires?

Answer 4

an initial investment of energy whether its endergonic or exergonic

Question 5

for every reaction there is a specific?

Answer 5

activatione nergy ea: the amount of initial energy is required in order for the reactant moleucles to contort so the bonds can break

Question 6

where does this energt cme from?

Answer 6

often supplied in the form of heat that the reacts absorb from the environment. the heat causes the reactants to move more quickly so they collide more often.
- collisions also make the bonds
