The answer to this question would be A. Energy is released.
When a chemical bond is a form, the bond will either suck up energy or produce energy. So, to be precise the energy is not always released but also can be absorbed. In this case, the energy released number will be a minus.
Options B and C is definitely wrong since the bond is formed by an electron, it won't affects neutron/proton.
Option D might be true since the product is made of 2 or more atoms then it would seem larger. But the size of the actual atom won't be increased.
Answer:
B. An animal's weight
Explanation:
An animal's weight is the factor that does not influence population size in an ecosystem because this factor does not cause an increase or decrease the population of animals in an ecosystem. The birth and death rate of animals and number of animals in habitats are the factors that tells us about the increase and decrease in the population of organisms in an ecosystem but weight of organism can't affect the population.
