Exothermic reaction

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat.

Expressed in a chemical equation: reactants → products + energy

An exothermic reaction is a chemical or physical reaction that releases heat. It gives out energy to its surroundings. The energy needed for the reaction to occur is less than the total energy released.
