Does the energy go from the surrounding to the chemicals or from the chemicals to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?

• Energy goes from the surroundings to the chemicals.
• Energy goes from the chemicals to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction.
• Energy is neither created nor destroyed in an exothermic reaction.
