๐ŸŒŸ Key Idea: In every chemical reaction, energy plays a pivotal role. Just like your energy levels spike when you have your favorite candy, molecules also experience energy changes. And guess what? Energy doesn't vanish into thin air! It gets shuffled around. ๐Ÿƒ

Conservation of energy in reactions

  • ๐Ÿ“œ Rule of Thumb: Energy cannot be created nor destroyed - only transferred.
  • ๐ŸŽˆ Imagine inflating a balloon. You don't create the air inside; you just move it from your lungs to the balloon.

Types of energy in a reaction

  • Chemical Potential Energy: This is like a treasure chest! ๐Ÿด‍โ˜ ๏ธ Stored in the chemical bonds of reactants and products.
  • Kinetic Energy: Based on motion. Think of it as molecules doing the cha-cha-cha dance. ๐Ÿ’ƒ The temperature shows how vigorously they’re dancing!

Energy's grand entrance & exit

  • Can be released (like a pop star on stage ๐ŸŽค) or absorbed (like fans at a concert ๐ŸŽง).
  • Most common form? HEAT! But sometimes, it likes to make an appearance as light, sound, or even electricity. Like how some people show off with flashy jewelry or loud music. ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽถ
