Oxidation of organic compounds by molecular oxygen results in the production of carbon dioxide and water and releases free energy. This is because:

1. High energy covalent bonds in organic molecules are broken to produce weaker covalent bonds in water and carbon dioxide.
2. Electrons are being moved from atoms that have a lower affinity for electrons to atoms with a higher affinity for electrons.
3. The electrons in water and carbon dioxide have higher potential energy than the electrons in organic compounds.
4. The covalent bonds in organic molecules are unstable and stable in water and oxygen.
