Answer:
hi
I feel confident about creating energy diagrams because I have been practicing creating energy diagrams for different reactions and understanding how to interpret them. It is challenging to figure out which bonds are broken in a reaction because it requires a good understanding of chemical bonds and reaction mechanisms. One strategy I used to figure out whether energy is gained or lost in a system was to calculate the change in enthalpy using the bond energies of the reactants and products. To remember definitions of vocabulary words in this unit, one strategy I used was to create flashcards and quiz myself regularly on their meanings. Overall, this unit has helped me understand how energy is involved in chemical reactions and how it affects the stability of a system.
