Chemistry: Year 10 Term 2: Exothermic/Endothermic Reactions

?
What always occurs in a reaction? (2)
Energy is transferred and bonds are made/broken
1 of 9
What stays the same before and after the reaction? (2)
Total energy (1st law thermodynamics)
2 of 9
Define 'exothermic', what happens to the surroundings? (2)
Releases energy to the surroundings / surroundings heat up
3 of 9
Define 'endothermic', what happens to the surroundings? (2)
