Question

Name the following

Reaction in which a great amount of energy is released to form new bonds.

Answer 1

• Exothermic reaction- The type of reaction in which heat energy is released to get products from the reaction of reactants is known as an exothermic reaction.
• This energy is released due to the formation of new bonds.
• Exothermic reaction example-
• The combustion of methane gives Carbon dioxide and water vapor, and heat energy is released during the reaction.
• $\underset{\mathrm{Methane}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_4\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Oxygen}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}\mathrm{vapour}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\mathrm{Heat}$

Hence, the answer is an exothermic reaction.
