Answer:

Common combustion reactions break the bonds of hydrocarbon molecules,

Step-by-step explanation:

the resulting water and carbon dioxide bonds always release more energy than was used to break the original hydrocarbon bonds. That's why burning materials mainly made up of hydrocarbons produces energy and is exothermic.
