GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which energy is released in the form of light or heat. Thus in an exothermic reaction, energy is transferred into the surroundings rather than taking energy from the surroundings as in an endothermic reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment. The absorbed energy provides the activation energy for the reaction to occur. A hallmark of this type of reaction is that it feels cold.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a chemical reaction combines two or more things and makes a chemical bond, energy is released, so it is an exothermic reaction. These reactions usually feel hot because heat is given off. If a reaction breaks one or more bonds, energy is needed, or consumed, so it is an endothermic reaction.
