Making and breaking chemical bonds
Most chemicals will break up (decompose) if they are
heated strongly enough. This means that energy is needed
to break chemical bonds – an endothermic process.

Because bond-breaking is endothermic, bond-making must
therefore be exothermic. This means that energy is
released when chemical bonds are made.
