\boxed{\boxed{\sf Endothermic \ reaction }}

  • It is the type of reaction in which heat energy is Absorb

  • It absorbs the heat and make the surrounding cool

  • Melting ice cubes , Evaporation

  • Its general form is Reactant + heat ---) Product


\boxed{\boxed{\sf Exothermic \ reaction}}

  • It is the type of reaction in which heat energy is releases

  • It releases the heat and make the surrounding warm

  • for ex - Respiration , Digestion

  • Its general form is Reactant ---) Product + heat

MORE TO KNOW

  • All decomposition reaction are endothermic reaction as decomposition reaction needs energy in the form of heat , light or electricity to break down its reactants.
