2) During chemical reactions, rearrangements of particles occur and this involves the breaking and
forming of bonds.
3) Heat energy is absorbed to break the bonds and energy is given out when bonds are formed.
a) Endothermic reaction – more energy is absorbed than given out. Reaction take in the heat
from surroundings. (Temperature of surrounding decrease)
b) Exothermic reaction – more energy is released than absorbed. Reaction release heat to
surroundings. (Temperature of surrounding increase)
5) The amount of heat given out or absorbed is called the heat of reaction, ∆H.
Exothermic Reaction
1) Reaction where heat energy is given out to the surroundings
a) Combustion of fuel
b) Burning of metal
c) Neutralisation
d) Rusting of iron
