Endothermic description |
---|
The term endothermic process describes the process or reaction in which the system absorbs energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat. The term was coined by Marcellin Berthelot from the Greek roots endo-, derived from the word "endon" () meaning "within" and the root "therm" (-) meaning "hot" or "warm * " intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases, "gives out" energy in the form of heat. Thus in each term (endothermic & exothermic) the prefix refers to where heat goes as the reaction occurs, though in reality it only refers to where the energy goes, without necessarily being in the form of heat. All chemical reactions involve both the breaking of existing and the making of new chemical bonds. A reaction to break a bond always requires the input of energy and so such a process is always endothermic. When atoms come together to form new chemica |
