Select the correct answer.
in a given chemical reaction, the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. which statement is true for this reaction?
a
energy is absorbed in the reaction.
b. energy is released in the reaction.
c. no energy is transferred in the reaction.
d. energy is created in the reaction.
e. energy is lost in the reaction.

Explanation:

In chemistry, there are two types of reactions: Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions.

An exothermic reaction occurs when the reactants have higher energy than the products, the effect is energy released.

On the contrary, an endothermic reaction is when the products have higher energy than reactants, and the energy is absorbed.

So, based on these concepts, the correct answer is A, in a given chemical reaction, if the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants, energy is absorbed.

when it gains or loses electrons

come closer and become far apart and become steam/gas
