The answer is E

Explanation:

E. Weak bonds break and strong bonds form: this means that more energy is absorbed than released

Catherine Burke · Answer 2

The correct answer is E weak bonds break and strong bonds form this means that more energy is absorbed than released.

Explanation:

Endothermic reaction is a specific type of chemical or biochemical reaction reaction where heat energy is consumed.

Endothermic reaction deals with the synthesis of comlex compound from simple compound.

Breakage of weak bonds and formation of strong bonds result in the more energy consumption than energy release. This is also an example of endothermic reaction.
