Explanation:
Any chemical reaction can be classified into either exothermic or endothermic.
Let us understand the term:
1. exothermic: Heat released to the environment is called exothermic
2. endothermic: Heat absorbed from the environment is called endothermic
According to the pathway diagram, we can say that "reactants are higher in energy than the products". Here in the given diagram, only less energy is required thus resulting in energy being released which is considered as exothermic.
Thus we can conclude that "the reactants are higher in energy than the products".
Answer:
The reactants are higher in energy than products
Explanation:
exothermic reactions release energy meaning that the reactants need to have a higher energy than the products
