In an exothermic reaction, reactants are __ products. a more stable than
b equal to
c equally stable as
d less stable than

A More stable than

In the case of an exothermic reaction, the reactants are at a higher energy level as compared to the products, as shown below in the energy diagram. In other words, the products are more stable than the reactants. Overall Δ H ΔH ΔH for the reaction is negative, i.e., energy is released in the form of heat.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be

the answer is true. hope it .
