Absorbs heat energy from surroundings

Temperature change in exothermic reaction

Temperature rises

Temperature change in endothermic reaction

Temperature drops

Activation energy

Minimum energy colliding particles must have for reaction

Effective collision

Collision that results in formation of products

Energy of products vs reactants (exothermic)

Products have less energy than reactants

Energy of products vs reactants (endothermic)

Products have more energy than reactants

Catalyst

Speeds up reaction without being used up
