Answer:

Endothermic is when heat is absorbed, so like when ice turns into water, it absorbed heat and energy from the air because now the molecules in the ice started moving faster and more freely to become a liquid state.

In an exothermic reaction, heat is produced along with products. But in endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed. If the number of products is less than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction will be exothermic. If the number of products is more than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction is endothermic.
