Detailed explanation-1: -As the name implies, ‘endo’ means ‘to absorb, ‘ and ‘thermic’ means ‘heat.’ This energy is produced as a result of the reaction of reactants into the product. It occurs as a result of the dissociation of the bonds between the molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Chemical reactions that absorb (or use) energy are called endothermic.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -In thermodynamics, the word endothermic “within heating” describes a process or reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat. Its etymology stems from the Greek prefix endo-, meaning “inside” and the Greek suffix –thermic, meaning “to heat”.
