How can we justify the conservation of energy using "system/surroundings" terminology for an open, closed, and isolated system?​

Answer:

Closed systems do not exchange energy with the environment, while open systems do.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cause of this is because closed systems are made up of an insulator that surrounds them and isolates them from the environment or adjacent environment.

This insulation prevents heat from being taken in or transferred from the surroundings as in the case of open systems.
