Exergonic reaction


Exergonic reaction
An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the variation of free energy is negative. This tells us the direction that the reaction will follow.

Energy releasing processes, ones that "generate" energy, are termed exergonic reactions. Reactions that require energy to initiate the reaction are known as endergonic reactions.
