The result which occurs during an exothermic reaction is: C. Light and heat are released into the environment.

A chemical reaction is defined as a chemical process involving the continuous transformation and rearrangement of either the ionic, atomic or molecular structure of chemical elements, especially through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds, so as to produce a new chemical compound.

Basically, the two (2) main types of chemical reaction are;

Endothermic reaction: this is a chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed .

Exothermic reaction: this is a chemical reaction in which light and heat is liberated (released) into the environment.

In an exothermic chemical reaction, light and heat energy is liberated (released) when the energy of the products is lesser than the energy of the reactants.

In conclusion, light and heat is liberated (released) into the environment during an exothermic reaction.
