Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Exothermic reactions:
A
release energy
B
absorb energy
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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. Exothermic reactions are accompanied by an increase in temperature of the reaction mixture.

Detailed explanation-2: -An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Energy is used to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds form in products. Endothermic reactions absorb energy, and exothermic reactions release energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. Expressed in a chemical equation: reactants → products + energy.
