Can somebody please explain the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions?

5 answers

What do these two terms mean?

endothermic means the reaction absorbs more energy than it releases and exothermic means it releases more energy than it absorbs. I was looking for examples of endothermic and exothermic reactions that compare and contrast the two terms.

Ms. Sue, please don't answer if you don't know how to give me a thorough explanation instead of posting links.
Don't you think the links give you at least as good information as one teacher?

You could wait several hours for a chemistry teacher.
