These are Standard Reduction Potentials. They show the tendency of the species on the left hand side to accept electrons. The more to the RHS the equilibrium, the more positive is the potential.
More positive (less negative) as more electrons are being removed from the surface of the electrode when forming M(s)

hope that helps
