What is endothermic process?

In thermochemistry, an endothermic process is any process with an increase in the enthalpy H (or internal energy U) of the system.[1] In such a process, a closed system usually absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, which is heat transfer into the system. It may be a chemical process, such as dissolving ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in water (H2O), or a physical process, such as the melting of ice cubes.

The term was coined by Marcellin Berthelot from the Greek roots endo-, derived from the word "endon"  meaning "within", and the root "therm" , meaning "hot" or "warm" in the sense that a process depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases or "gives out" energy, usually in the form of heat and sometimes as electrical energy. Thus in each term (endothermic and exothermic) the prefix refers to where heat (or electrical energy) goes as the process occurs.

So Endothermic reaction is where heat energy is high inside the substance and reduces the thermal energy outside the substance (outside the substance the temperature drops and the temperature increases inside the substance.)
