An exergonic reaction is a type of chemical reaction that releases energy as it proceeds. The term "exergonic" comes from the Greek words "ex," meaning "out of," and "ergon," meaning "work" or "energy." In biochemical terms, these reactions are characterized by a negative change in free energy (ΔG < 0), indicating that the products of the reaction have lower free energy than the reactants.
