*** WHAT'S COVERED ***
1. Bond Energy
* The definition of bond energy as the energy required to break one mole of a particular covalent bond.
* How bond breaking is an endothermic process that requires energy from the surroundings.
* How bond formation is an exothermic process that releases energy to the surroundings.
2. Calculating Overall Energy Change
* The principle of comparing the energy needed to break bonds in the reactants with the energy released when forming bonds in the products.
* The formula for calculating the overall energy change for a reaction.
* A worked example for the reaction of hydrogen and chlorine to form hydrogen chloride.
* A worked example for the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia.
