Chemical reactions are basically divided into two major classes depending on whether the reaction lose energy or gain energy from the environment during the course of the reaction. The two classes of reaction are exothermic and endothermic reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system lose energy to the environment and thus, the energy content of the reactants is more than that of the product formed. Because of this, the enthapyl change of an exothermic reaction is always negative.
An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system absorb energy from the environment. Thus, the energy contents of the products is always higher than that of the reactants and the enthapyl change of the reaction is always positive. During the course of the reaction, the reaction container is usually cold to the touch because energy is been absorbed from the environment.

What happens to the particles in a substance when heat is removed from a liquid?

Minchanka [31]

Answer:When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. ... They contract when they lose their heat.

Which is the most active nonmetallic element in group 16?

timama [110]

Oxygen

For metals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the period table from top to bottom, and left to right. In contrast, for nonmetals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the periodic table, as we move from bottom to the top, and right to left.

Group 16 on the periodic table is also called the oxygen family or chalcogens. It includes the following elements from top to bottom: Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium. Of these, only Oxygen, Sulfur, and Selenium are nonmetals. Since reactivity of nonmetals increases going up the periodic table, oxygen is therefore the most reactive nonmetal in the group. Shown in the figure below is the reactivity trend in the periodic table.
