Investigation 3 Activity 3 1 of '11 POSSIBLE POINTS: '1 In previous investigations: you explored simulations of changes in the potential energyr of a spring and a pendulum. Now you will explore a simulation to investigate how the potential energy between two atoms changes when they come together to form a bond. 1. People oen think bonds store or hold energy. If that is true: should the energy be high or low when a bond forms?
