Can be indicated by:
-color change, precipitation (formation of a solid), energy changes (temperature changes), formation of a light, formation of a gas.
Exothermic Reaction
This type of reaction gives off energy and therefore feels hot to the touch. This is usually represented on a graph as a negative, indicating that the energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants.
Endothermic Reaction
This reaction absorbs energy and therefore feels cold to the touch. This is usually represented on a graph as a positive slope, indicating that the energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants.

-they absorb only particles of a specific frequency
-they release photons with specific frequency
