Exothermic reactions Endothermic reactions

ad
Reaction that gives out heat to the
surrounding. Hence temperature of the
surrounding rises
Energy of reactants > Energy of products
ac
Energy given out when bonds are formed
is more than the energy taken in when
bonds are broken.
m
Reaction that takes in heat from the
surrounding. Hence temperature of the
surrounding falls.
Energy of products > Energy of reactants
Energy taken in when bonds are broken is
more than the energy given out when
bonds are formed.
