What does the energy diagram in Figure 8.3 show?

Here's the reaction-coordinate diagram from your textbook. It plots potential energy against reaction progress:

Figure 8.3: Reaction-coordinate diagram (redrawn from your PDF)

Reading it left to right: the curve climbs from the reactants up to a peak. That peak is the transition state, and the height of the climb is the activation energy Eₐ (the barrier the reaction must clear). It then falls to a level below where it started, so the products are lower in energy than the reactants: ΔG is negative, which makes this reaction exergonic and thermodynamically favorable.
