I WONDER - Is Energy Created When Bonds Are Formed?

The video tutorial explains the role of energy in chemical bonds. It describes how forming bonds can release energy, similar to the relief felt after completing a puzzle. Conversely, breaking bonds requires energy, akin to the effort needed to tear paper. This concept is applied to how our bodies extract energy from food by breaking the bonds in food molecules, releasing the stored energy.

What happens when a chemical bond is formed?

• Energy is always absorbed.

• Energy is always released.

• No energy change occurs.

• Energy can be either absorbed or released.

What analogy is used to describe the release of energy when a bond is formed?

• Finishing a puzzle

• Tearing a piece of paper

• Running a marathon

• Building a house

Which of the following requires energy input?

• Forming a bond

• Breaking a bond

• Both forming and breaking bonds

• Neither forming nor breaking bonds

What is the analogy used to explain the energy needed to break a bond?

• Tearing a piece of paper

• Solving a puzzle

• Writing a letter

• Cooking a meal

How does the body obtain energy from food?

• By converting food molecules into water

• By storing energy in food molecules

• By breaking the bonds in food molecules

• By forming new bonds in food molecules
