Question

If the reactants are at a higher energy level than products, the reaction is exothermic. The activation energy of a forward reaction is less than that of the backward reaction. That means, the energy required for breaking of bonds is less than the energy released during formation of bonds. In case of an endothermic reaction, the activation energy of the forward reaction is more than that of backward reaction.

Solution

The correct option is A True
In equilibrium reaction, the activation energy of the forward reaction is more than that of backward reaction so, the reactants take up heat energy and breaks bond from external energy supply.
