what is stability

Carbon dioxide is a stable compound. Only about 0.32 per cent of the gas is decomposed when heated to 1775 K...

Pure nitric acid is not very stable. Even at ordinary temperature, in presence of sunlight it undergoes slight decomposition. As the temperature increases, the rate of decomposition also increases. On strong heating it decomposes completely to give nitrogen dioxide, water and oxygen...

It is stable only at low temperatures. When heated at temperature between 373 K and 575 K, it changes into higher borane..

What makes a body stable? An object is said to be stable if it is steady and well balanced so that when it is pushed slightly it does not topple or fall off easily. Let us try to do a simple experiment or derive the conditions for stability. Experiment 1: Stick three pins c..

Ammonia is highly stable. However, it can be decomposed into hydrogen and nitrogen by passing over heated metallic catalysts or when electric discharge is passed through it...

Since a biotic community is formed of a large number of diverse type of populations of plants and animals and microbes, all these populations are essential for biotic stability..

Thermal stability of the hydrides of group 15 elements decreases as we go down the group. Therefore, NH 3 is most stable and BiH 3 is least stable. The stability of the hydrides of group 15 elements decreases in the order: NH 3 > PH 3 > AsH 3 > SbH 3 > BiH 3 Expl..

We have learnt that the electrons in bonding molecular orbitals contribute to attraction between the atoms and thereby help in the formation of bond. On the other hand the electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals contribute to repulsion between the atoms and, therefore oppose the formation of b..

Binding Energy - The nucleus is made of neutrons and protons. What causes them to stick together? Why do the protons not repel each other? Surprisingly, the mass of the nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the individual protons and neutrons which makeup the nucleus. The lost mas..

It is very stable and cannot be decomposed by hea..
