In an endothermic reaction the total bond energy in the reactants is greater than the bond energy of the products, so energy is absorbed by the reaction.

(Reason: ΔH ≈ energy to break bonds in reactants − energy released forming bonds in products. For endothermic ΔH > 0, so bonds broken > bonds formed → net energy absorbed.)
