6. energy is released: a. exothermic

To match the reaction type to its description, we need to understand the meaning of the terms and compare them to the descriptions provided.

1. Energy is a reactant: This means that energy is required for the reaction to occur. It is considered as one of the reactants.
Description: Energy is a reactant.

2. Energy is a product: This means that energy is formed or produced during the reaction. It is considered as one of the products.
Description: Energy is a product.

3. The products have higher energy than the reactants: This indicates that the energy level of the products is greater than that of the reactants.
Description: The products have higher energy than the reactants.

4. The reactants have higher energy than the products: This suggests that the energy level of the reactants is greater than that of the products.
Description: The reactants have higher energy than the products.

5. Energy is absorbed: This means that the reaction absorbs or takes in energy from the surroundings.
Description: Energy is absorbed.

6. Energy is released: This indicates that the reaction releases or gives off energy to the surroundings.
Description: Energy is released.

Based on the descriptions provided, we can match the reaction types to the corresponding letters in Column B:

1. Energy is a reactant -> b. endothermic
2. Energy is a product -> a. exothermic
3. The products have higher energy than the reactants -> endothermic (b)
4. The reactants have higher energy than the products -> exothermic (a)
5. Energy is absorbed -> endothermic (b)
6. Energy is released -> exothermic (a)
