I don't have the ability to view images or documents, including "Lesson 2 page 10" you've mentioned. However, I can provide some general information about bond energy in chemical reactions.

In a chemical reaction, the total bond energy of the reactants can be compared to that of the products:

1. **Bond Energy Release:** If the products have stronger bonds than the reactants, the reaction is exothermic, meaning energy is released during the reaction. This often results in an increase in bond energy for the products as compared to the reactants.

2. **Bond Energy Absorption:** Conversely, if the products have weaker bonds than the reactants, the reaction is endothermic, meaning energy is absorbed. This would result in a decrease in bond energy for the products compared to the reactants.

To analyze the specific reaction and determine the bond energy changes, you would typically look at the types of bonds formed and broken, as well as the overall energy dynamics of the reaction.
