Energy transfer in reactions Flashcards
What are exothermic and endothermic reactions
An exothermic reaction is one which gives out energy to the surroundings, usually in the form of heat which is shown by a rise in temperature . Endothermic reaction is one which takes in energy from the surrounding area using the form of heat which is shown by falling temperature
What happens during a chemical reaction
Julie can call reaction old bonds are broken and new ones are formed
What happens in exothermic reaction
Exothermic reaction the energy released in bond formation is greater than the energy used in breaking your bonds
What happens in endothermic reaction
Endothermic reaction the energy required to break the bonds is greater than the energy released when Bonds are formed
