What is EXOTHERMIC

1 answer

Exothermic refers to a chemical reaction or process that releases energy to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat. In an exothermic reaction, the reactants have a higher energy content than the products, resulting in a net release of energy. This energy is typically transferred as heat, causing the surroundings to become warmer. Examples of exothermic reactions include combustion, some types of oxidation, and certain chemical reactions.
