Question

if the chemical reaction ab + cd → ad + bc releases heat, what is true of the stored bond energy of the reactants and products? the bond energy of the reactants is higher than the bond energy of the products. the bond energy of the reactants is lower than the bond energy of the products. the bonds do not have energy, the atoms release heat. the bond energy of the reactants is the same as the bond energy of the products. which of the following shows the correct order in the energy of the substances involved in the chemical reaction from lowest to highest?

Explanation:

In an exothermic reaction (one that releases heat), the products are more stable than the reactants. Lower - energy states are more stable. Since the reaction releases heat, the bond energy of the reactants is higher than that of the products. For the order of energy from lowest to highest, the products have lower energy than the reactants in an exothermic reaction.

Answer:

The first question: The bond energy of the reactants is higher than the bond energy of the products.
The second question: Products, Reactants
