| bond entalpy | energy needed to break 1 mol of particular covalent bond in gassous molecule in standard state |
| average bond entalpy | average entalpies needed to break 1 mol of particular covalent bond in gassous molecule in standard |
| entalpy change of reaction | energy change of reaction under standard state |
| exothermic reaction | energy is released |
| endothermic reaction | energy in absorbed |
| combustion, neutralization, condensing gasses, freezing liquids | exothermic reaction |
| energy to break bonds is less than to make bonds | exothermic |
| energy to break bonds is more than to make bonds | endothermic |
| melting ice, boiling water, dissolving | endothermic reaction |
| standard entalpy change of formation | energy change when 1 mol of a compound is formed from its constituing elements in the standard state |
| standard entalpy change of combustion | entalpy change when 1 mol of the substance burns completely under standard state |
