Exergonic reactions.
Endothermic reactions.Endo- means 'inside' which is where the energy ends up.Exothermic reactions give off energy. Exo- means 'outside'. Think that a spider sheds an 'exo'skeleton, or a skin on the outside.
only nuclear reactionsChemical reactions that release free energy are called exergonic reactions. Fire and cellular respiration are examples of exergonic reactions.
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
Chemical energy
Exergonic reactions.
Energy is required to break bonds between atoms in reactant molecules, allowing them to rearrange into new products. This energy is called activation energy. Some reactions release energy, called exothermic reactions, while others absorb energy, called endothermic reactions. Overall, energy is essential for driving chemical reactions and determining whether they proceed or not.

All chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat are called exothermic reactions.
Yes.
light-dependent reactions. such as photosynthesis in green plants.
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
Yes, chemical reactions can absorb energy. This can occur in endothermic reactions, where energy is required for the reaction to proceed. Examples include the reaction of baking soda and vinegar, which absorbs heat energy.
Chemical energy
False. Not all chemical reactions require catalysis. Some reactions occur spontaneously, while others may require an initial input of energy in the form of activation energy. Catalysis is a process that lowers the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, but it is not necessary for all reactions.
