An unstable salt is decomposed at room temperature and pressure, is easily decomposed by heating, by irradiation with different types of radiation, after the contact with other compounds or elements, become explosive after a mechanical shock etc.

Is radon 222 unstable or stable?
no because it is so radioative its so unstable.
What is an unstable isotope?
Unstable isotopes are radioactive isotopes, can disintegrate and emit radiations.
Are superheavy elements stable or unstable?
unstable, think about it.
Is the tightrope walker in stable or unstable equilibrium?
Unstable.
What makes a rocket unstable?
a rocket tends to be unstable if its tall and skinny
How do you prevent a unstable salt from oxidising?
You must make it stable if it is unstable it will oxidise by definition. You would have to add another element to make the compound stable but you would then be changing it to a stable salt.
Is RaCO3 an acid?
No, it is a radioactive salt Radium carbonate and is an unstable solid.
What effect does air have on anahydrous salt?
If you think to sodium chloride only one unstable hydrate is known.For other salt hydrates this depends on the temperature.
Why do you commonly find sodium chloride salt however not sodium metal?
Sodium is very reactive (unstable) when in contact with oxygen airand water. NaCl (salt) is a natural and stable product.
Why must the diazonium salt be kept cold?
Because diazonium ions are unstable at room temperature and become decomposed giving the Nitrogen gas.
Why is it essential to keep the diazonium salt at zero degrees while you are forming the sodium 2-naphthoxide?
Because diazonium ions are unstable at room temperature and they can decompose
Why does baking soda dissolve faster than salt and sugar?
Baking soda is NaHCO3, all the bicarbonates are unstable and soluble in water. The high solubility of baking soda in water is due to unstable crystal structure of bicarbonate and tendency of ions to gain the stability due to solvolysis.
Is a solution stable or unstable?
unstable
What are the unstable element?
Radioactive elements are unstable, and the shorter the half-life, the more unstable they are.
Is radon 222 unstable or stable?
no because it is so radioative its so unstable.
What is an unstable isotope?
Unstable isotopes are radioactive isotopes, can disintegrate and emit radiations.
What is an unstable atom?
An unstable atom is a radioactive atom.
