Combustion, neutralization, metal oxidationThermite reactionThe reaction of more active metals with acids and the reaction from unstable substances to stable substances are mostly exothermic (but we should note that the transformation of graphite into diamond under high pressure is exothermic, although it is the opposite under normal pressure), and most decomposition reactions are endothermic (but they cannot be absolute, for example, the decomposition of potassium chlorate into potassium chloride and oxygen is a common exothermic reaction)SpontaneousRedox reactionAll are exothermic reactions. The combustion reaction and neutralization reaction in common reactions are exothermic reactions, acid base neutralization reaction, metal acid reaction, metal water reaction, combustion reaction and explosion reaction, which are all exothermic reactions. In specific judgment, it is often necessary to combine the facts in memory.ExothermicReverse reactionBy all meansEndothermic reaction。[2]

Combination reaction
Most chemical reactions are exothermic
The formation reaction of hydride is exothermic
For example, hydrogen and fluorine explode in the dark: Htwo+Ftwo=2HF
The formation of 2 oxides is exothermic reaction
For example, burning charcoal in air or oxygen gives off heat: C+Otwo= COtwo
3 Formation reaction of oxyacid
for exampleSulfur trioxideDissolving in water to generate sulfuric acid is an exothermic reaction: SOthree+HtwoO=HtwoSOfour
4 The formation reaction of strong base is exothermic
For example, sodium oxide reacts with water to formsodium hydroxideHeat release: NatwoO+HtwoO=2NaOH
decomposition reaction
Few decomposition reactions are exothermic
For example, ammonium nitrate decomposes when heated or impacted and explodes. Exothermic reaction: 2NHfourNOthree=2Ntwo↑+Otwo↑ +4HtwoO
Displacement reaction
Most displacement reactions are exothermic
1 Example of exothermic reaction between active metal and water
Reaction of metal sodium with water
Exothermic reaction of sodium and water: 2Na+2HtwoO=2NaOH+Htwo↑
2. Examples of exothermic reaction between active non-metal and water
Heat release during displacement reaction of fluorine gas and water: 2Ftwo+2HtwoO→4HF+Otwo
3 Simple aluminum and somemetallic oxideExamples of exothermic reactions occurring
Aluminum powder andmanganese dioxideHeat release during displacement reaction: 4Al+3MnOtwo=2AltwoOthree+ 3Mn
4 Example of exothermic displacement reaction between active metal and acid
Exothermic reaction of metal sodium and hydrochloric acid: 2Na+2HCl=2NaCl+Htwo↑
Metathesis reaction
Acid base neutralization reaction is exothermic
Neutralization reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution
The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution is exothermic: HCl+NaOH=NaCl+HtwoO

The essence of chemical reaction is: the breaking of old bonds and the formation of new bonds, and the newly formed chemical bonds are generally more stable than the old bonds. The covalent electrons jump from the high energy level to the low energy level and release energy, while the breaking of the old bonds needs to absorb energy, so whether the final chemical reaction is endothermic or exothermic depends on the difference in energy changes before and after the reaction. If the energy is insufficient, it needs to absorb heat from the outside, otherwise it needs to release heat,Usually we use enthalpy change (△ H) to measure the thermal phenomenon before and after the reaction[3]
