What is the difference between exothermic and exergonic? I am having trouble distinguishing the two.

Endergonic or Exergonic refer to whether the change in Gibbs free energy (delta G) is positive or negative.

Endothermic or Exothermic refer to whether the change in enthalpy (delta H) is positive or negative.
