Compounds are not generally considered endothermic or exothermic. These terms refer to processes. So, the process of formation, or the process of decomposition, would be an endothermic process or an exothermic process.

Is an ionic compound exothermic?
A compound is never exothermic. Its reaction with some other substance is endothermic or exothermic like when calcium oxide reacts with water large amount of heat is evolved.
When clothes are drying is it an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
The combustion is exothermic.
Which state changes are exothermic and endothermic?
freezing is exothermic, melting is endothermic, evaporation is endothermic, condensation is exothermic.
Is a candle a endothermic or exothermic change?
exothermic- because exothermic gives off heat and endothermic is cold
Is reduction endothermic or exothermic?
exothermic
