Question

Can someone explain an endothermic reaction to me? I only understand parts of it so any information is helpful.

Answer 1

A reaction is going to be endothermic if the compound takes in heat. For example. If your water is 20 degrees C and you add a compound and the waters temp goes to 15 degrees C. That is an endothermic reaction because the water is losing heat and the compound gains it or "consumes" it

Answer 2

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which energy (in the form of heat) is absorbed from the surrounding area into the reaction. For example, a basic concept would be ice cubes melting. In order for the ice to change phases into water, it would require energy (i.e. from the sun) to be put into it.
