That is, the product has less energy than the reactants, so it happens that they combine spontaneously.
Hope that helps!

One theory involves virtual particles emitted by all matter... the particles are evanescent: they disappear unless they hit something. This theory has been used to explain all forces: electromagnetic, nuclear weak, nuclear strong and gravity. The Casimir Effect involves these virtual particles, q.v.
