Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of reaction releases energy into the environment?
A
exergonic (exothermic)
B
endergonic (endothermic)
C
thermodynamic
D
reactionary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical reactions that release energy are called exothermic. In exothermic reactions, more energy is released when the bonds are formed in the products than is used to break the bonds in the reactants.

Detailed explanation-2: -In an exergonic reaction, energy is released to the surroundings. The bonds being formed are stronger than the bonds being broken. In an endergonic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings. The bonds being formed are weaker than the bonds being broken.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exergonic reactions release energy The energy level of the products is lower than the energy level of the reactants. Energy is released in this reaction. The amount of energy released during the reaction is termed
