3. A chemical reaction involves not
only changes in chemical properties
but also in the structure of the
substance.
Change in structure involves either
bond breakage or bond
formation.When this happens energy
is either released or absorved for
the reaction to proceed.
4. Chemical reaction can also be classified as
exothermic depending how the system
interacts with energy.
Endothermic reaction involves the absorption
of heat by the system from the surroundings
while exothermic reaction involves the
release of heat by the system to the
surroundings.
Heat is referred to as the energy in transit
from a body of higher gradient to a body of
lower gradient.
5. Endothermic
Reaction
In an endothermic reaction,the
system must absorb energy from
from its surrounthings for the
reaction to proceed.Thus ,the
reactant has lower energy as
compared with the product.

7. EXOTHERMIC
REACTION
On the other hand, for an exothermic
reaction to happen,the system must
release energy to the surroundings to
attain stability of its
product.Thus,the reactant has higher
energy than its product
