An endothermic reaction or process takes place when the system absorbs heat energy from the surrounding environment. In an exothermic reaction or process, energy is released into the environment, usually in the form of heat, but also electricity, sound, or light.
Exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings. Endothermic reactions take in energy from the surroundings. Reversible reactions are where the products can react to remake the original reactants. If the forward reaction is exothermic, the reverse reaction is endothermic. Exothermic and endothermic reactions When a chemical reaction occurs, energy is transferred to, or from, the surroundings - and there is often a temperature change. For example, when a bonfire burns it transfers heat energy to the surroundings.
