| style="height:20px; width:500px; text-align:center;" |To start the [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] an [[Activation Energy|activation energy]] is needed. This is usually achieved by initially [[heating]] the [[reactant]]s. Once the [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] starts the [[energy]] stored in the [[reactant]]s is released in the [[Chemical Reaction|chemical reaction]] making the [[material]] increase in [[temperature]]. The [[product]]s now have less [[energy]] than the [[reactant]]s.

: In a [[Chemical Reaction|chemical reaction]] [[energy]] is needed to break the [[Chemical Bond|chemical bonds]] holding the [[atom]]s together.
