The correct statement is:
The relationship depends on the particular bond.
The energy required to break a bond and the energy released when the same bond is formed can vary depending on the specific bond being considered. In general, the energy required to break a bond is equal to the energy released when the bond is formed, but this is a specific relationship that applies to ideal conditions. Different types of bonds (e.g., single, double, triple bonds) and the surrounding environment will influence the actual energy values.
