Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In a chemical reaction, the bonds between the reactant molecules tend to break leading to the formation of new bonds to produce products.
So, in order to break the bonds between the reactant molecules, energy is required to overcome the attraction between the atoms.
To form new bonds, energy gets released when two atoms come closer to each other. Hence, formation of bond releases energy.
As in the given reaction it is shown that 
< 0, that is, enthalpy change is negative. Hence, energy is released as it is an exothermic process.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement energy released as the bonds in the reactants is broken is greater than the energy absorbed as the bonds in the products are formed, is true about the bond energies in this reaction.
Answer:
Selenium
Explanation:
Oxygen is present in the group sixteen.
This group consist of oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium.
All of these have same number of valance electrons thus they show similar properties.
From the given list of elements only selenium is belong to oxygen family thus it has properties similar to the oxygen.
Electronic configuration of oxygen:
O = [He] 2s² 2p⁴
Electronic configuration of selenium:
Se = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴
While aluminium, boron and phosphorus are belongs to other groups that's why their properties are not similar to the phosphorus.
phosphorus is present in group 15.
Boron and aluminium are present in group 13.
two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. hope this helped.
Answer: salt
Explanation:
Arrhenius acids are substances which dissociate in water to give 
ions.
Arrhenius bases are substances which dissociate in water to give 
ions.
Thus when they combine, they neutralize each other and produce salt and water.
