Why molecules with lower energy are more stable?
How do these factors affect a molecule's stability?
Well, for example, the nature of the atoms that make up the molecule can affect its stability through their electronegativity and size. Atoms with high electronegativity will attract the bonding electrons more strongly, making the molecule more polar and reactive. Similarly, larger atoms will have more electrons to bond with, resulting in greater intermolecular forces and lower stability.
