Chemistry — Exothermic vs Endothermic

Two directions of energy transfer in reactions.

Template previewVenn / Euler
Exothermic vs endothermic reactionsExothermic (X)Endothermic (N)Release energy; surroundings warm; products lower energy; e.g. combustion, neutralisationAbsorb energy; surroundings cool; products higher energy; e.g. thermal decompositionChemical reactions; break and make bonds; have an enthalpy change

title "Exothermic vs endothermic reactions"
set X "Exothermic"
set N "Endothermic"
only "X" "Release energy; surroundings warm; products lower energy; e.g. combustion, neutralisation"
only "N" "Absorb energy; surroundings cool; products higher energy; e.g. thermal decomposition"
intersect "X,N" "Chemical reactions; break and make bonds; have an enthalpy change"
