I guess that would be when a "regular" particle meets an antiparticle - in that case, 100% of the mass of both particles will be released as energy.Next come nuclear reactions, where usually something like a fraction of one percent of the matter gets released as energy.

Chemical reactions release about a million times less energy than nuclear reactions.

What types of energy are released in exothermic reactions?

Exo -> Greek "Outside" Therm -> thérmē -> Greek "Heat" So an exothermic reaction releases heat energy. Related to that type of reaction is the endothermic reaction in which heat is absorbed into the reaction rather than being released by it.
