Energy that must be absorbed in order to contort or weaken so bonds in reactant molecules so that they can break and form new bonds?

In: Energy [Edit categories]

Relevant answers:

Which bonds break and which new bonds form?
2H2 + O2 + 2H2O2H-H + O=O = 2H-O-H..not shaped like this !!The bonds in the reactants break and the bonds in the products form.The bonds in the H2 and O2 break and the bonds in the water form.
What happens when chemical bonds break and new bonds form?
It takes energy to break a bond. then the atoms rearrange and can form new bonds releasing energy.
When bonds break and new bonds form what occures?
A chemical change occures!
Is SO a ionic bond or covalent bond?
Sulfur and oxygen form a covalent bond. You would expect this, since they are both non-metals. To get an ionic bond you need a metal bonding with a non-metal.
Atoms form bonds in order to?
In order to fill their valence shell and become more stable. This question is potentially very deep if you want to get into quantum physics and the general direction of our universe and things like...
