Which statement is true about the half-life of a radioactive element? A.
Half-life gets faster as time passes.

B.
Half-life gets slower as time passes.

C.
Half-life is always the same.

D.
Half-life can get slower or faster, depending on the temperature.

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.

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
