Bot GPT 4-o mini In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings, which means that the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when new bonds are formed in the products. Therefore, the correct statement must be:
More bond energy is absorbed on the reactant side than released on the product side.
This indicates that the total energy input (to break bonds) exceeds the total energy output (from forming bonds), which characterizes an endothermic process.
