Given the balanced equation:
I + I==> I2
Which statement describes the process represented by this equation?
(1) A bond is formed as energy is absorbed.
(2) A bond is formed and energy is released.
(3) A bond is broken as energy is absorbed.
(4) A bond is broken and energy is released.


Sagot :

The answer is (2) A bond is formed and energy is released. The left side of equation is I atom and the right side of equation is I2 molecule. So the bond is formed between I atom to form I2 molecule. And forming bond will release energy while breaking bond will absorb energy.
