What is required, in terms of bond energies of reactants and products, for a reaction to be exothermic?(1 point)

Responses

The energy released in the formation of the reactants must be greater than the energy absorbed by the products.

The energy released in the formation of the products is the same as the energy absorbed by the reactants.

The energy released in the formation of the products must be greater than the energy absorbed by the reactants.

Bond energies do not influence chemical reactions.
