Which statement explains the relationship between the amount of energy it takes to break a bond and

the amount of energy released when the same bond is formed?(1 point)
The relationship depends on the particular bond.
The amount of energy it takes to break a bond is always greater than the amount of energy released when
the bond is formed.
The amounts of energy are always equal.
The amount of energy it takes to break a bond is always less than the amount of energy released when the
bond is formed.

1 answer

The correct statement is: The amounts of energy are always equal.

This is because, according to the law of conservation of energy, the energy required to break a bond (bond dissociation energy) is equal to the energy released when the bond is formed.
