Question

In an endorthermic reaction, the reactants have a ______ , total bond energy. This means the relative potential energy of the reactants is _____ than the relative potential energy of the products. The reaction ____ energy.

Answer 1

In an endothermic reaction, the reactants have a higher, total bond energy. This means the relative potential energy of the reactants is lower than the relative potential energy of the products. The reaction absorbs energy.
