Scope and sources

Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 · 2026–2028 v2 · Original learning materials.

Bond breaking and bond making (5.1 Supplement 7–8): bond breaking as endothermic and bond making as exothermic, the enthalpy change of a reaction from the energy in and the energy out, and calculating ΔH from bond energies. Exothermic and endothermic reactions, reaction pathway diagrams and activation energy are in the previous module; Hess’s law and energy cycles are not part of 0620.

Apparatus, amounts and times in the experiment are illustrative. Real practical work follows a teacher-approved safety method.
