Hello I a m s o m o n e I n t h e w o r l d
Remember: energy is conserved in a chemical reaction (visualize the reaction and question whether heat lies on reactant side (left) or product side (right))
-exothermic- heat is released (heat is on the product side)
>forming an ionic lattice (SALT)- mixture of Na and Cl results in a more stable ionic lattice, causing this reaction to be exothermic
>burning wood
-endothermic- heat is absorbed (heat is on the reactant side)
> cooking an egg
When a material is heated, the kinetic energy of that material increases and its atoms and molecules move about more. This means that each atom will take up more space due to its movement so the material will expand. ... Some metals expand more than others due to differences in the forces between the atoms / molecules.
