What ia an endothermic reaction?

Open in App
Solution

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. These reactions lower the temperature of their surrounding area, thereby creating a cooling effect. Physical processes can be endothermic as well – Ice cubes absorb heat energy from their surroundings and melt to form liquid water (no chemical bonds are broken or formed).
