REF STUDY GUIDE: Big Ideas Use to answer form questions
1.Breaking bonds REQUIRES energy; forming bonds releases energy. Students often think breaking bonds RELEASES energy, but evidence from investigations shows otherwise.
2.Mass is conserved; atoms rearrange but aren't destroyed. Students often think mass 'disappears' in chemical reactions, but evidence from investigations shows otherwise.
3.Energy can be quantified in joules, calories, etc. Students often think energy is not a measurable quantity, but evidence from investigations shows otherwise.
