Energy Level Diagrams
We can draw energy level diagrams to show energy changes in a reaction. These diagrams show the relative amounts of energy stored in the products and reactants of a reaction, measured in kJ/mol.

This is the energy level diagram for an exothermic reaction. The products are at a lower energy level than the reactants, so energy has been released as the reactants form the products. In this release of energy,temperature of the surroundings increases…
