What is an endothermic reaction?
gpt
An endothermic reaction is one in which more energy is required to break the bonds of the reactants than is released by the formation of the products, and the energy can be absorbed from nearby matter, cooling the surroundings.
Explanation: In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature. This is in contrast to exothermic reactions, which release energy and increase the temperature of the surroundings.
