Total bond energy is essentially equivalent to the total potential energy of the system, a quantity known as ____________.

A) exergonic
B) enthalpy
C) activation
D) entropy
E) endergonic

Total Bond Energy

The sum of all bond energies in a molecule, representing the energy needed to break all bonds in a molecule into separate atoms.

Potential Energy

is the energy stored within an object or system due to its position, condition, or configuration, capable of being converted into kinetic energy.

Enthalpy

The total potential energy of a system; sometimes referred to as the “heat content of the system.”
