Exothermic is where heat/energy is released.

And a glow stick does exactly that. but in this case the energy being released is in the form of light.

Do not be fooled, a glow stick does not release heat. just energy

So yes, a glow stick IS exothermic.

Hope this was helpful

Can you relate exothermic and endothermic reactions to the making and breaking of bonds?

Bond breaking is endothermic, which means it takes energy. An example would be breaking a window. Bond making is exothermic, which means it releases energy. An example would be burning a substance.


What is the exothermic reaction in terms of bond breaking and bond forming?

An exothermic reaction is a reaction that happens when energy is release. This means that a bond is being broken. Because the bond is broken, it has undergone an exothermic reaction.
