Yes they do
All ENDOthermic reactions are of course ENDOthermic by themselves, aren't they?
Salts are the products of the reactions between acids and bases (neutralization reactions). Salts are compounds with ionic bond, containing an anion and a cation.
Reactions of ionic compounds tend to be faster than covalent compounds because ionic compounds readily dissociate into ions in solution, increasing the likelihood of collisions between reactant ions. Covalent compounds usually require breaking strong covalent bonds before chemical reactions can occur, slowing down the overall reaction rate.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into their constituent ions. These ions are surrounded by water molecules, which help stabilize them in solution. This process allows ionic compounds to conduct electricity in solution and is the basis for many chemical reactions.
Ionic compounds tend to have higher reactivity because the ions in these compounds are already charged, making it easier for them to interact and form bonds with other ions. In contrast, covalent compounds involve sharing of electrons, which can be a slower process compared to the direct interaction of charged ions in ionic compounds.
exothermic
Reactions between ionic compounds are often fast because the ions in the compounds are already separated and easily accessible for reaction. This allows for quick movement of ions towards each other to combine and form new compounds. Additionally, the strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions facilitate rapid reactions.
Double displacement reactions typically occur in ionic compounds where ions exchange partners, leading to the formation of new compounds. In covalent bonds, the sharing of electrons does not allow for the same ionic exchange to happen, as covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions in solution. Additionally, the stability of covalent molecules often prevents the rearrangement necessary for a double displacement reaction. Therefore, these reactions are more characteristic of ionic compounds than of covalent ones.
Endothermic reactions require energy while exothermic reactions release energy.
Endothermic reactions require an input of energy to proceed, which means they do not occur spontaneously. Spontaneous reactions release energy to their surroundings, unlike endothermic reactions that absorb energy from the surroundings. Therefore, endothermic reactions cannot be spontaneous as they need an external energy source to drive the reaction forward.
