In chemistry, an exothermic reaction is one that releases heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. Expressed in a chemical equation:

Reactants → Product + Energy

In an exothermic reaction the total energy absorbed in bond breaking is less than the total energy released in bond making.
