Breaking the chemical bonds in the reactants always ❌ energy – it is an endothermic process. ❌ new bonds in the products always releases energy – it is an exothermic process.
If more energy is ❌ when new bonds are made than was absorbed to ❌ the bonds in the reactants, then the reaction is ❌.
If ❌ energy is released when new bonds are made than was absorbed to break the bonds in the ❌, then the reaction is ❌.
