Question

question 22 of 30 which statement best describes how energy is important to chemistry? a. energy is absorbed and released during chemical reactions. b. energy is not conserved during chemical reactions. c. energy is stored in an atoms electrons. d. energy holds atoms and bonds together.

Explanation:

In chemistry, energy changes are fundamental to chemical reactions. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of bonds, which requires energy input or results in energy release. Energy conservation is a law (energy is conserved in chemical reactions), so option B is incorrect. While energy is related to electrons and bonding, the most general and key role of energy in chemistry is its involvement in chemical - reaction processes.

Answer:

A. Energy is absorbed and released during chemical reactions.
