Chemical Stability

Chemical stability refers to how well a substance resists changing or reacting when exposed to its environment. A stable chemical doesn’t easily break down, combine with other substances, or decompose over time under normal conditions. For example, a stable medication retains its effectiveness, and an inert gas like nitrogen rarely reacts with other materials. Factors like temperature, light, or exposure to moisture can influence stability. Overall, chemical stability indicates a substance’s ability to maintain its original properties without transforming into something else, ensuring its safety, effectiveness, and longevity during storage and use.
