Cooking an egg is one type of process, while the formation of snow is another period in 3 to 5 sentences, identify each as exothermic or endothermic and explain how you know.

First, we need to know that:

- Endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed. In this process, energy is produced and independently maintained.

- Exothermic reaction is one in which energy is released. In this process, energy production only persists through the continuous supply of energy.

Having said that, if you think about it, the cooking egg absorbs heat, so it's an endothermic reaction. The egg will absorb energy from the boiling water.

Snow formation is an exothermic reaction. It releases energy. It will release energy for the environment.
