What happens to the reaction during endothermic and exothermic reaction?

During an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, causing the reaction to feel cold. The reactants have less energy than the products, so energy is absorbed to form the products. In an exothermic reaction, heat is released into the surroundings, making the reaction feel hot. The reactants have more energy than the products, so energy is released during the reaction.


Is ice hot?

Ice is cold, in the form of water put in a freezer. But some special reactions, such as Instant Ice, emit heat as the supercooling reaction releases energy.
