Answer»

Exothermic reaction :An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat.It gives net energy to its surroundings. That is, the energy needed to initiate the reaction is less than the energy that is subsequently released.

reactants → products + energy

Examples of exothermic reactions:

Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime(Calcium hydroxide) used in white washing releasing large amount of heat.

Endothermic reaction :An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment.

reactants + energy → products

Example of endothermic reactions :

Melting of ice: Ice takes heat from the surroundings and turns in to liquid water.
