Actually, it's endothermic. If the products have a higher energy, then the reactants and additional energy is required. That's an absorption of energy - endothermic. Exothermic reactions involve energy being given off. The power energy products will be produced plus additional energy (eg heat, light, sound).

Jesus Christ Stacey!! How could you give the best answer to an ignoramus who says "I'm not a geek".He is also not a very intelligent person.I suggest you take back his best answer and give it to the one who said endothermic or I'll report both of you for forgery and illegal use of the system.

hmm if the products have a higher engergy level ,an endo thermic reaction takes place
