Is this correct:
Breaking of bonds is an endothermic reaction where energy is required ( in the form of heat ) so heat is absorbed by the reaction.
Making bonds doesnt require energy so therefore it is exothermic and heat is given off from the reaction to the surroundings...from the system to the surroundings...
thanks...this stuff always messes with me so i wanted to get it straight!
