it is always exothermic

3.

Which statement about endothermic and exothermic reactions is correct?

a)

In an endothermic reaction, less energy is absorbed in bond breaking than is released in bond forming.

b)

In an endothermic reaction, the activation energy is always higher than in an exothermic reaction.
