How is Energy Released from Breaking Bonds in Liquid Hydrogen?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In the discussion on energy release from breaking bonds in liquid hydrogen (LH2), it is established that breaking a chemical bond consumes energy rather than releasing it. This contradicts the common misconception that bond breaking is associated with energy release. Additionally, the concept of force being directly related to energy is clarified as a misunderstanding, emphasizing that force and energy are distinct physical quantities.

When working with liquid hydrogen or LH2 as a fuel how can you determine how much energy will be released when you break the bond. And an off topic question here can you determine how much force that energy that will produce.

Breaking a bond never releases energy, quite the opposite - breaking a bond always consumes energy. And it doesn't make a physical sense to ask "how much force energy will produce", as force is not directly related to energy.
