A reaction releasing energy is called an exergonic reaction, so the opposite of the would be a reaction that needs energy to take place, called an endergonic reaction. These are also known as exothermic and endothermic reactions.

What is an energy releasing reaction?
it is known as exothermic reaction.
What type of chemical reaction occurs spontaneously?
An energy-absorbing reaction occurs spontaneously, as opposed to an energy-releasing reaction, which starts off slowly.
What is energy released from chemical reactions called?
Light Energy,Electrical Energy,Light and thermal energy
How do changes in temperature and activation energy compare in how they affect reaction rate Apex?
Changes in temperature and activation energy have opposite effects on reaction rate.
The burning of wood is an example of an oxidation - reduction reaction?
Yes. The carbohydrates (mostly cellulose) are releasing the energy that was stored as carbon-hydrogen bonds by the trees or other plants. The hydrogen is recombined as water and the carbon mostly as carbon dioxide. Other elements in the wood also oxidize (calcium, potassium) but not as an exothermic (energy-releasing) reaction.
What is an energy releasing reaction?
it is known as exothermic reaction.
What term refers to a chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy?
Absorbing energy from the surroundings is endothermic. (The opposite - releasing energy to the surroundings - is exothermic).
Why is an energy absorbing reaction or an energy releasing reaction more likely to be spontaneous?
To become spontanious,energy should be released.
Why do energy absorbing reactions react spontaneous?
it doesn't its energy releasing reaction
What is it called when energy is required to start a chemical reaction?
An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.
A reaction that gives out energy?
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
What chemical reactions reales energy?
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction
What is a exotermic reaction?
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. Expressed in a chemical equation:reactants → products + energy
Is the reaction between between hydrogen peroxide and yeast an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
endothermic because it absorbs energy, and not releasing it
What type of chemical reaction occurs spontaneously?
An energy-absorbing reaction occurs spontaneously, as opposed to an energy-releasing reaction, which starts off slowly.
What accurately describes the main reaction that generates the Sun's light?
hydrogen nuclei fuse forming helium and releasing energy
What is energy released from chemical reactions called?
Light Energy,Electrical Energy,Light and thermal energy
