Silicon being carbon's "family member" opens up a lot of questions about its role in the world, given carbon's prevalence and importance. What are your thoughts on the likelihood of non- carbon-based life forms

b.

the accuracy of the data.

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.

b.false that your answer
