If forces acting on an object are unbalanced, which factor may result from an unbalanced force?
The net force is negative.
There is zero net force,
The forces cancel each other out.
There is no change in motion.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
