activation energy
The energy required to start a chemical reaction is called activation energy. It is the minimum amount of energy needed to initiate a reaction by breaking the chemical bonds of the reactants. This energy barrier must be overcome for the reaction to proceed.
To initiate a chemical reaction an activation energy is necessary.
The amount of energy necessary to cause a chemical reaction to occur is called activation energy.

Exothermic reactions
All chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat are called exothermic reactions.
it is not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction and it is called fusion.
Endothermic reactions.Endo- means 'inside' which is where the energy ends up.Exothermic reactions give off energy. Exo- means 'outside'. Think that a spider sheds an 'exo'skeleton, or a skin on the outside.
The two kinds of chemical reactions are endothermic and exothermic. A chemical reaction that absorbs energy is called an endothermic reaction.
Heat energy is necessary for some chemical reactions to occur. Some chemical reactions are endothermic meaning they require or absorb energy for a chemical reaction to occur. Other chemical reaction are exothermic meaning they release energy when the chemical reaction takes place..
required for the reaction to occur. It is the energy barrier that must be overcome for the reactants to transform into products. Increasing the temperature can help molecules acquire the necessary energy to reach the activation energy.
