An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy by radiating electricity.

The statement is false. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat, not by radiating electricity. In an exothermic reaction, the reactants have a higher amount of potential energy compared to the products, and this excess energy is released as heat during the reaction. The release of energy can be observed as an increase in the surrounding temperature. Radiating electricity, on the other hand, describes the emission of electromagnetic waves due to the flow of electric current. While some chemical reactions may involve the generation of electricity, that is a separate phenomenon from the release of energy in an exothermic reaction.
