Preferred Label : structural stability;
IUPAC definition : Within the Born–Oppenheimer (adiabatic) approximation, this is associated with an
energy minimum on a potential energy surface. Structural stability implies that any
change in the coordinates of the nuclei can only increase the total energy.;
