INFORMATION:
We have the next statement:
- "An exothermic reaction releases thermal energy."
And we must determine if it is true or false
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:
An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which energy is released in the form of light or heat.
Finally, knowing that in an exothermic reaction energy is released in the form of heat, we can say that an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy. So, it is true.
ANSWER:
True
