Define chemical reaction: A) A chemical reaction occurs when new bonds break. (B) A chemical reaction occurs when old bonds form. C) A chemical reaction occurs when new bonds form or old bonds break between atoms. Chemical reactions are the foundation of all life processes, and as we have seen, the interactions of valence electrons are the basis of all chemical reactions. D) The term metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions occurring in the brain.
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
