☆Exothermic reaction:

  • The reaction in which heat is evolved or released is called Exothermic reaction.
  • Example:-
    C +
    O_(2) ------->
    CO_2 + heat.

☆Endothermic reaction:

  • The reaction in which heat is absorbed is called Endothermic reaction.
  • Example:-
    N_(2) +
    O_(2) + heat ----> 2NO
