An exothermic chemical reaction causes an increase in temperature (of the surroundings).
An endothermic chemical reaction causes a decrease in temperature (of the surroundings).
An exothermic reaction transfers energy from the reactants to the surroundings.
An endothermic reaction transfers energy from the surroundings to the products.
