Im a bit torn here, lets look at the definitions of physical and chemical changes:
physical change changes only the phase/state of a substance, but not what the substance is
chemical change is a chemical reaction where a new substance is formed and energy is given off or absorbed.
(it just started raining and it smells really nice out my window)
clearly, this cannot be just a physical reaction. i think i would be inclined to pick B. but C. could have merit as an answer too. sorry for the ambiguity x

I think it's E. heating of water
Because exothermic process discharges heat, causing the temperature of the prompt environment to rise
Please correct me if I'm wrong!! I'd be happy to fix it!! :)
Answer:
bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy
antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy
Explanation:
Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.
Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.
