In which type of reaction is there more energy in the products than in the reactants?

Question

A. both an endothermic and an exothermic reaction
B. exothermic reaction
C. endothermic reaction
D. neither an endothermic nor an exothermic reaction

Answer 1

C. endothermic reaction

In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings, leading to the products having more energy than the reactants. In contrast, exothermic reactions release energy, resulting in products that contain less energy than the reactants.
