The main concept is that we do not know the number of bonds so we dont say in those terms.However we say in energy terms like in exo,energy released during bond formation is more than energy absorbed during bond breaking.http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International O Level/Chemistry (5070)/5070_w09_qp_1.pdf
Someone explain MCQ 14.
Other than this MCQ, In an exothermic reaction, more bonds are broken than are formed, is that right?
Breaking takes in energy,forming releases it.
