Summary Introduction

Introduction: All the chemical reactions take place in two forms: exothermic and endothermic. Endothermic is the reaction that requires energy within the reactants to form the product, $\text{Reactant+}E\text{nergy}\to P\text{roduct}\text{.}$ Exothermic is the reaction that releases energy when a product is formed, $\text{Reactant}\to P\text{roduct}\text{+}E\text{nergy}\text{.}$ The energy is measured in KJ/moles (kilojoules/moles).
