Experiments with cathode rays being deflected by a magnetic field show that cathode rays are composed of particles that are
positively charged or negatively charged

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.
