The reaction profile below shows the energy changes during the high-temperature reaction between nitrogen and oxygen to produce nitrogen monoxide:
N2(g)+O2(g)→2NO(g) N_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2NO(g) N2(g)+O2(g)→2NO(g)
Describe what this reaction profile shows about the energy involved in bond breaking and bond making in this reaction.
