Answer is: a) is has increased.
There are two types of reaction:
1) endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases).
For example, the breakdown of ozone is an endothermic process. Ozone has lower energy than molecular oxygen (O₂) and oxygen atom, so ozone need energy to break bond between oxygen atoms.
2) exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).
For example, ΔH(reaction) = -225 kJ/mol; this is exothermic reaction.
Simply look at the periodic table and fill in what you know based on the table
The number of protons = atomic number
The number of electrons, Which is the same as the atomic number for atoms.
The number of valence electrons that is given by the group that the element is in, the top number of each column in the periodic table.
