Free energy. OCR

Could anyone help me with this question?
And would the more stable isomer be E because the Gibbs free energy value is minus? Why does a minus free energy make it more stable if this is the case??

Please ignore the scribbles :colondollar:

Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown:

Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:

If deltaG is negative the change is 'spontaneous'. This means E is more stable.
