In an exothermic reaction, how do the energy changes for breaking bonds and making bonds compare?
The energy released making bonds is greater than the energy needed to break bonds
The energy needed to break bonds is greater than the energy released making bonds
The energy needed to break bonds is equal to the energy released making bonds
No energy is needed to break bonds, so all the energy released is transferred out
