Which of the following statements is true?
a. If bond enthalpies of bonds broken in a reaction are greater than bond enthalpies of bonds formed, the reaction is exothermic. b. If the number of bonds broken in a reaction is greater than the number of bonds formed, the reaction is endothermic. c. If the sum of all bond enthalpies of bonds broken in a reaction is greater than the sum of all bond enthalpies of bonds formed, the reaction is endothermic.

Enthalpy change = bond enthalpies of bonds broken - bond enthalpies of bonds formed
a. If bond enthalpies of bonds broken in a reaction are greater than bond enthalpies of bonds formed, the reaction is endothermic.
Sothe given statement is false
b. If the number of bonds broken in a reaction is greater than the number of bonds formed, the reaction is endothermic. (TRUE)
c. If the sum of all bond enthalpies of bonds broken in a reaction is greater than the sum of all bond enthalpies of bonds formed, the reaction is endothermic. (TRUE)
d.If the sum of all bond enthalpies of bonds broken in a reaction is greater than the sum of all bond enthalpies of bonds formed, the reaction is endothermic.So the given statement is false.
e. If the number of bonds broken in a reaction is greater than the number of bonds formed, the reaction is endothermic.Sothe given statement is false
