A, B, and D

Explanation:

This is an atom of the element, neon. An atom is the smallest particle of matter. An ion is an atom of an element that has gained or lost one or more electrons. A molecule represents two or more atoms covalently combined.

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.
