Organic compounds require a higher activation energy to react; thus, they are more stable in heat. The ability of many organic compounds to resist heat is accounted for by this property.

Some are stable (e.g. acetic acid), others are unstable (e.g. nitroglycerin) as with inorganic compounds some are stable (e.g. sodium chloride), others are unstable (e.g. nitrogen triiodide).
