PART 4
Lesson 15
Chemical energetics
Energetics of a reaction
  • Describe the meaning of exothermic and endothermic reactions 
  • Interpret energy level diagrams showing exothermic and endothermic reactions  
  • Describe bond breaking as an endothermic process and bond forming as an exothermic process

  • Draw and label energy level diagrams for exothermic and endothermic reactions using data provided
  • Calculate the energy of a reaction using bond energies 
2 Energy transfer
  • Describe the release of heat energy by burning fuels 
  • State the use of hydrogen as a fuel
  • Describe radioactive isotopes, such as 235U, as a source of energy
  • Describe the use of hydrogen as a fuel reacting with oxygen to generate electricity in a fuel cell. (Details of the construction and operation of a fuel cell are not required.)
