Chloral hydrate is a gemdiol still highly stable because CCl3C(OH)2H is stablize by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Is platinum stable or unstable in its natural state?
Platinum is highly stable. It is among the most inert elements.
Why chloral undergoes cannizzaro reaction?
Chloral does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction because the anion formed is very stable do to the electron withdrawing effect of the three chloro group attached to the alpha carbon. As a result cleavage takes place and the products formed initially are CCl3- and HCOOH. Then by maintaining Bronsted Lowry concept an hydride ion transfer takes place and the final products are chloroform and HCOO- ion.
Are the group 17 elements highly reactive or nonreactive?
Highly reactive because they only have 7 electrons. They need 8 to be a stable element.
What do stable elements and highly reactive elements have in common?
Well for starters, they're elements. Thanks for stating the answer in your question.
Why are the alkali metals and halogen among the most reactive elements on the periodic table?
because to be stable they need 8 atoms in outer energy level halogens need one so are highly reactive. alkali need 7 so are highly reactive( not as highly as halogens)
Why nucleus is a highly stable entity?
strong force
Argon is a highly reactive gas true or false?
No, argon is not a highly reactive gas. It is stable.
Is platinum stable or unstable in its natural state?
Platinum is highly stable. It is among the most inert elements.

Is nitrogen highly reactive?
Nitrogen gas is stable. However there are nitrogen compounds that are reactive.
Chloral hydrate is a gemdiol still it is highly stable.why?
The three electron withdrawing groups on the methyl group of chloral increase the polarized positive charge at the aldehyde carbon this favors an sp3 arrangement around that carbon CH(OH)2-CCl3 rather than the typical 0=CH-CCl3
Stable molecules that contain carbon and are formed below sea level under low temperatures and high pressures are called?
You're probably thinking of methane hydrate-clathrate.

Highly reactive because they only have 7 electrons. They need 8 to be a stable element.
What is thought to be the nature of Jupiters Great Red Spot?
It is though to be a highly stable windstorm.
Why lithium highly reactive?
if lithium loses one electron it attains the stable noble gas electron configuration of helium. hence it is highly reactive.
Is glucose highly volatile?
No. A highly volatile substance is one that easily turns into vapor at or near room temperature. Glucose is quite stable as a solid.
