More bond energy is absorbed on the reactant side than released on the product side.
More bond energy is absorbed on the reactant side than released on the product side.
More energy is needed to form the bonds on the product side than to form the bonds on the reactant side.
More energy is needed to form the bonds on the product side than to form the bonds on the reactant side.
The energy of each bond on the reactant side is greater than the energy of each bond on the product side.
The energy of each bond on the reactant side is greater than the energy of each bond on the product side.
The bond energy released by breaking the bonds in the reactants is greater than the bond energy used to form the products.
The bond energy released by breaking the bonds in the reactants is greater than the bond energy used to form the products.

In an endothermic reaction, the system absorbs heat energy from its surroundings. This typically means that more energy is required to break the bonds in the reactants than is released when forming the bonds in the products.
Therefore, the correct statement that must be true if a relationship is endothermic is:
More bond energy is absorbed on the reactant side than released on the product side.
This accurately describes the energy dynamics of endothermic reactions.
