At the beginning of a reaction, a beaker was 22°C. At the end of the reaction, the beaker was 14°C. Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic and how do you know?
Endothermic, energy is being absorbed by the system and the temperature is decreasing.

0.4-1.8 Polar Covalent
>1.8. Ionic
What is thermal expansion?
the tendency of matter to change its shape, area, volume, and density in response to a change in temperature, usually not including phase transitions.
