Which fact must be true if a relationship is endothermic?(1 point)

Question

Responses which answer is correct and why

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.

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 bond energy released by breaking the bonds in the reactants is greater than the bond energy used to form the products.

Answer 1

In an endothermic reaction, the system absorbs energy from the surroundings. The correct response is:

More bond energy is absorbed on the reactant side than released on the product side.

Explanation:

In an endothermic reaction, the total energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when new bonds are formed in the products. This means that the energy absorbed to break the bonds must be greater than the energy produced by forming new bonds in order for the reaction to be classified as endothermic. Hence, there is a net absorption of energy from the surroundings, resulting in a temperature drop.

The other statements are misleading or incorrect in the context of defining an endothermic reaction.
