Endothermic and Exothermic
Reactions

This topic explains the difference between Endothermic
and Exothermic Reactions. There are a number of
chemical reactions in Chemistry and they are divided into
many sub and main reactions. Similar is the case with
the endothermic and exothermic reactions in Chemistry.
Important Chemistry Topics
These release energy in the form of sound, light, cold or Periodic Table Of Elements
heat.
Aufbau Principle
In simple terms, the endothermic reactions absorb
Electron ConUguration
energy from the surrounding that is in the form of heat.
On the other hand, an exothermic reaction releases Isomerism
energy into the surrounding of the system.
Planck's Quantum Theory
A popular example of an endothermic chemical reaction
Valence Bond Theory
is photosynthesis. During this process, plants absorb
energy from the Sun and convert it into carbon dioxide Reactivity Series
and water into glucose and oxygen. An example of an
Named Reactions
exothermic reaction is the chemical reaction between
sodium and chlorine, which results in the formation of Dipole Moment
sodium chloride (also known as common salt).
