Formation of a Single Bond

Use the model below to explore the following questions:

1. When you form a stronger bond do you have more or less chemical energy?
2. What happens to energy that is converted from chemical energy to some other form of energy? What did you observe in the model that leads you to believe this?
3. How is the difference between the inital kinetic energy (heat energy) of the reactants and the products related to the strength of the bonds that form?
