Cooper, Melanie M.; Klymkowsky, Michael W. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2013
Helping students understand "chemical energy" is notoriously difficult. Many hold inconsistent ideas about what energy is, how and why it changes during the course of a chemical reaction, and how these changes are related to bond energies and reaction dynamics. There are (at least) three major sources for this problem: 1) the way biologists talk…
