Exergonic

All physical and chemical systems in the universe follow the Second Law of Thermodynamics and proceed in a downhill (exergonic) direction. Thus, left to itself, any physical or chemical system will proceed in a direction of greater randomness, disorder, and instability. In these reactions, energy is released. These reactions occur spontaneously.
