Question

In an endothermic reaction the binding energies of reactants and products are $e_1$, $e_2$ respectively, then

• A. $e_1$< $e_2$
• B. $e_1$= $e_2$
• C. $e_1$> $e_2$
• D. $e_1$ $\ge$ $e_2$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$e_1$> $e_2$

In endothermic reaction the binding energy of reactants is more than the binding energy of products.
So, the correct choice is option C.
