Q

What is an endothermic reaction in terms of bonds broken, energy transfer, energy of the reaction and surrounding temperature?

A

These are reactions that:

  • Bonds are made and so energy is taken in as it’s required
  • Take in energy from the surroundings to the reacting chemicals
  • Energy of the reaction goes up
  • Temperature of the surroundings does down.

Q

What is an exothermic reaction in terms of bonds broken and why, energy transfer, energy of the reaction and surrounding temperature?

A

These are reactions that:

  • Bonds are broken and so energy is released
  • Give out energy from the reacting chemicals to the surroundings
  • Energy of the reaction goes down
  • Temperature of the surroundings goes up.
