Thermic reaction

Thermic reactions are chemical reactions which are thermic: either highly exothermic (producing heat) or endothermic (absorbing heat). Thermic reactions are often high temperature redox reactions, which either liberate tremendous amounts of heat, or require a massive amount of heat to proceed.

Examples:
 * Carbothermic reactions
 * Aluminothermic reactions
 * Silicothermic reactions
 * Calciothermic reactions
