Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If heat energy is absorbed by the system during a chemical reaction, the reaction is said to be:
A
at equilibrium.
B
endergonic.
C
endothermic.
D
exergonic.
E
exothermic.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical reactions that absorb (or use) energy overall are called endothermic. In endothermic reactions, more energy is absorbed when the bonds in the reactants are broken than is released when new bonds are formed in the products.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chemical reaction or physical change is endothermic if heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings. In the course of an endothermic process, the system gains heat from the surroundings and so the temperature of the surroundings decreases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. These reactions lower the temperature of their surrounding area, thereby creating a cooling effect.
