On the product side, we now have a bond between B and C, and A exist by itself. Now, based on the following energy diagram so the y axis is the Gibbs free energy and the x axis is the reaction progress. So we go from reactants to products. Notice that if we compare the y coordinate value of the products to the y coordinate value of the reactants, this is lower in energy than this. And what that means is if we take the free energy of the products and we subtract it from the free energy of the reactants, we get a negative value. And what that means is free energy will be produced, will be released.
