Bond breaking is an endothermic change and bond
forming is an exothermic change. Bond energy is the
amount of energy in kJ/mol needed to break one mole of
the specified bond.

Before- [(412*8)+(242)]= 3538

After- [(412*7)+(338)+(431)]= 3653
This reaction is endothermic because the product has more energy then the reactant.
