which quantity will always have a negative value? A) the total bond energy of the reactants in an endothermic reaction. B) the change in energy in a system during an endothermic reaction. C) the change in energy in a system during an exothermic reaction. D) the total bond energy of the products during an exothermic reaction

i had this on my unit activity, i can you if you are a plato student. are you a plato student?

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
