Question

If heat is liberated by exothermic reactions, then it means that the reactants radiate energy. So, the reactants should become unstable, and hence products would be broken down to form simple elements.
But this does not actually happen.
Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical reactions that release energy are called exothermic. In exothermic reactions, more energy is released when the bonds are formed in the products than is used to break the bonds in the reactants. Exothermic reactions are accompanied by an increase in temperature of the reaction mixture.
