Why can a substance that is more stable also cause more harmful toxic effects than a substance that is less stable?

Stability and toxicity are almost entirely unrelated in general, so any question assuming they are related is unanswerable (in the legal venacular, "assumes facts not in evidence"). Perhaps if you were more specific ("why is compound X, which is stable, more toxic than compound Y, which is not stable?") we could answer, but the answer would likely be the same if you left out the entirely irrelevant parts about stability and just asked "Why is X more toxic than Y?".


What does chemically stable or unstable mean?

Chemically stable refers to a substance that does not easily undergo a chemical reaction, while chemically unstable means a substance is reactive and likely to undergo a chemical reaction. Stability is influenced by factors such as bond strength and molecular structure.


Which is more stable out of gas and vapour?

Gas is more stable than vapor. Gas refers to a substance that is in a gaseous state at a given temperature and pressure, with molecules spread out and moving freely. Vapor, on the other hand, specifically refers to the gaseous state of a substance that is usually a liquid or solid at room temperature, making it less stable than gas.

Are solutions more stable than gases?

If talking about the gaseous or liquid form of a particular substance, then the solution is more stable. This is due to the fact that liquids have lower temperatures than gases of the same substance, and low temperatures in turn result in a more stable substance. If talking generally about any solution and any gas, then I can't answer your question as it really depends on what substance you are comparing. PS this is wrong

What is the difference between a non-radioactive substance and a radioactive substance?

Radioactive substances are unstable as a result of the extra neutrons present in the nuclei of the substance. Non-radioactive substances are stable.


Why some radioactive substance are hazardous from a distance whereas other become danger only when taken internally?

because some are stable and some are not stable
