Question
Is oxidation an exothermic or an endothermic reaction?
Advertisements
Solution
Oxidation reactions are generally exothermic, meaning they release energy to their surroundings, typically as heat or light. However, a few specific cases, such as the oxidation of certain less reactive metals, are endothermic and require a continuous energy input to occur.
