1. Making and Breaking Bonds Java Applet
The button below links to a Java Applet that allows students to explore how molecules make and break bonds and in what conditions. It poses questions to students as they work through the simulations to guide their learning. This is an alternative activity for students to explore energy requirements in making and breaking bonds. This Java Applet needs to supplemented with some instructions on carrying out bond energies calculations.
2. Using Bond Energies to Calculate Enthalpies of Reactions VideoThis YouTube video gives a nice explanation with clear, logical presentation of the process and calculations for obtaining enthalpies of reactions from bond energies. The teacher can pause at any time to add in or clarify any confusions students may have. It can also be rewind-ed as often as desired and students can access this at home when doing homework or studying for a test.
