Why is there energy change in chemical reactions?

Solution

Whenever a chemical reaction occurs, some bonds present  between atoms of reacting molecules are rearranged to form products. Energy is required to break bonds while it is released during bond formation. Thus during the rearrangement of bonds in reactants and products, sometimes energy is released and sometimes it is absorbed. Therefore, there is an energy change in chemical reactions.
