exothermic and endothermic reactions

    Cards (5)

    • when chemical reactions happen, energy transferred from the surroundings
    • when energy is transferred to the surrounding, this is called exothermic reactions and usually feels hot
    • when energy is taken from the environment it is called endothermic reactions and normally feel cold
    • exothermic
      exothermic reactions are chemical reactions which release chemicals into surrounding. The energy is usually released as heat. Exothermic reactions don't always release heat the sometime release light
    • endothermic
      endothermic reactions absorb energy from surroundings. this energy is usually absorbed as heat to the surroundings get colder
