1. Exothermic

   In thermodynamics, an exothermic process (from Greek έξω (exō) 'outwards', and θερμικός (thermikόs) 'thermal') is a thermodynamic process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light (e.g. a spark, flame, or flash), electricity (e.g. a battery), or sound (e.g. explosion heard when burning hydrogen). The term exothermic was first coined by 19th-century French chemist Marcellin Berthelot. The opposite of an exothermic process is an endothermic process, one that absorbs energy usually in the form of heat. The concept is frequently applied in the physical sciences to chemical reactions where chemical bond energy is converted to thermal energy (heat).

1. exothermic

   Exothermic refers to a process or reaction that releases energy, usually in the form of heat, but can also be in the form of light, sound or electrical energy, to its surrounding environment. This happens because the energy required to initiate the reaction is less than the energy released. The term is often used in the context of chemistry and physics.

1. Exothermic

   In thermodynamics, the term exothermic describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, electricity, or sound. Its etymology stems from the prefix exo and the Greek word thermasi. The term exothermic was first coined by Marcellin Berthelot. The opposite of an exothermic process is an endothermic process, one that absorbs energy in the form of heat. The concept is frequently applied in the physical sciences to chemical reactions, where as in chemical bond energy that will be converted to thermal energy. Exothermic are terms usually used to describe two types of chemical reactions or systems found in nature: Simply stated, after an exothermic reaction, more energy has been released to the surroundings than was absorbed to initiate and maintain the reaction. An example would be the burning of a candle, wherein the sum of calories produced by combustion exceeds the number of calories absorbed initially in lighting the flame and in the flame maintaining itself..
