What type of chemical reaction occurs when less energy is released during the chemical reaction than is needed to start the chemical reaction

Endothermic reaction

Explanation:

If the reaction releases less energy than the energy needed to start the chemical reaction, then the reaction takes energy from the system. An endothermic reaction is a reaction that will takes energy from the system. Those energies will be put into the product of the reaction, make the product have higher potential energy than the reactant. The product of this reactant will be less stable since it's at a high energy state.
