Blog of the Day: C.2 and C.4

Whether a chemical reaction is endothermic or exothermic relies on how much energy is added (endo) in bond breaking and how much energy is given off (exo) in bond making.

Endothermic change---> If more energy is added than given off

Exothermic Change---> If more energy is given off than is added.

Example of exothermic change: formation of chemical bonds

Example of endothermic change: melting of ice cubes

Potential energy: energy associated with position

Kinetic energy:: Energy related to motion
