What term is used for the type of chemical reaction that gives out heat energy?
Exothermic reaction gives free heat (energy).
A chemical reaction that absorbs free energy?
Can be called endothermic.
A chemical reaction that transfers energy from the reactants to the surroundings is reffered to as?
A chemical reaction that transfers energy from the reactants to the surroundings is referred to as an exothermic reaction. A reaction that takes energy in is endothermic.

Why is hydrogen combustible?
Fundamentally, because the Gibbs free energy of elemental hydrogen and oxygen is substantially greater than the Gibbs free energy of the water formed by their chemical reaction, and the activation energy for the reaction is not excessively high.
