In general, breaking bonds results in a release of energy. True or false?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

breaking bonds is endothermic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If exothermic is a release of heat, then this statement would be false, right?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because to break bonds, it would be absorbing energy not releasing it?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yep, exactly. in contrast, making bonds is exothermic, i.e. releases energy.
