Bond Energy: Energy in making and breaking bonds.
Anytime a bond is formed, chemical energy is converted into heat energy. The model below contains many separate atoms that will react by forming a bond. The amount of chemical energy converted into heat energy depends upon the strength of the bond formed.
To the right of the the model is a temperature graph, and to the left is a controller that allows you to set the strength of the bond that will form between the A atoms. Experiment with the model to determine the relationship between bond strength and heat energy released. When you run the model observe what happens to the temperature. Then reset the model and try adjusting the bond strength before running the model again.
EXPERIMENTING WITH THE MODEL
1. Adjust the strength of the bond that will form. (Click on the link to learn how to adust this.)
2. Run the model.
3. Observe the behavior of the model and the temperature graph to the right of the model.
4. Reset the model, and repeat the above steps, but change the bond strength to some different value.
The model below will allow you to test your prediction about temperature and bond breaking. Run the model to test the hypothesis you stated in the previous question. This model will run in super-slow-motion mode, so you can focus on what happens to the temperature when the bond breaks.

People maintain a body temperature of about 98.6°F. How do we do this?<br><br>The
secret is chemical reactions. During chemical reactions heat can either be
absorbed or released. We get the chemical energy we need from the food we
eat. It is the heat released from chemical reactions in our bodies that
keeps us at a constant 98.6°F.</font>
