What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction?
Accepted Answer
An exothermic reaction releases heat energy to the surroundings, resulting in a temperature increase. On the other hand, an endothermic reaction absorbs heat energy from the surroundings, causing a temperature decrease. This energy exchange is a fundamental aspect of chemical reactions.
