I am a molecule that has two covalent single bonds and no lone pair on the central atom. Which molecule-molecular shape pair matches the description on the card?
O CO2, Linear
O BeHz, Linear
O H20, Bent
OHCN, Linear

what is the question here. i think you messed up.

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.
