Thermic reaction

Thermic reactions are chemical reactions which are thermic: either highly exothermic (producing heat) or endothermic (absorbing heat). Thermic reactions are often high temperature redox reactions, which either liberate tremendous amounts of heat, or require a massive amount of heat to proceed.

Examples:

  • Carbothermic reactions
  • Aluminothermic reactions
  • Silicothermic reactions
  • Calciothermic reactions
