WHAT DOES ENDOTHERMIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Endothermic

In thermodynamics, the term endothermic describes a process or reaction in which the system absorbs energy from its surroundings in the form of heat. The term was coined by Marcellin Berthelot from the Greek roots endo-, derived from the word "endon" meaning "within" and the root "therm" meaning "hot." The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on taking in heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases, "gives out" energy in the form of heat. Thus in each term the prefix refers to where heat goes as the reaction occurs. The concept is frequently applied in physical sciences to, for example, chemical reactions, where thermal energy is converted to chemical bond energy. Endothermic analysis only accounts for the enthalpy change of a reaction. The full energy analysis of a reaction is the Gibbs free energy, which includes an entropy and temperature term in addition to the enthalpy. A reaction could be a Spontaneous process at a certain temperature if the products have a lower total free energy even if the enthalpy of the products is higher.
