where more energy is in products than reactants
|
Detailed explanation-1: -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. Chemical reactions that absorb (or use) energy overall are called endothermic.
Detailed explanation-2: -In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed during the reaction, and the products thus have a larger quantity of energy than the reactants. This means that the products are less stable than the reactants.
Detailed explanation-3: -In endothermic reactions, the reactants have higher bond energy (stronger bonds) than the products. Strong bonds have lower potential energy than weak bonds. Hence, the energy of the reactants is lower than that of the products.
