What do energy level diagrams show us?
The relative amounts of energy contained in the reactants and products
1 of 5
What is this energy measured in?
KJ/Mol
2 of 5
Are the products at a higher or lower energy level than the reactants in an exothermic reaction?
Products are at a LOWER energy level than the reactants
3 of 5
In an endothermic reaction, are the products at a higher or lower energy level than the reactants?
Products are at a HIGHER energy level than the reactants
