An endothermic reaction or process takes place when the system absorbs heat energy from the surrounding environment. In an exothermic reaction or process, energy is released into the environment, usually in the form of heat, but also electricity, sound, or light.
A reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surroundings is called an endothermic reaction. In endothermic reactions the enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants. Because reactions release or absorb energy, they affect the temperature of their surroundings.
