why the ATP is unstable molecule?


jatin7919: ATP is an unstable molecule which hydrolyzes to ADP and inorganic phosphate when it is in equilibrium with water. The high energy of thismolecule comes from the two high-energy phosphate bonds. The bonds between phosphate molecules are called phosphoanhydride bonds.

WardahKanwar9: i cant get
userdead11112: hi
rishirajsharma197: wait
WardahKanwar9: sure!
userdead11112: hello
rishirajsharma197: This makes ATP a relatively unstable molecule because it will want to give away its phosphate groups, when given the chance, in order to become a more stable molecule. Resonance stabilization of ADP and of Pi is greater than that of ATP. The oxygen molecules of the ADP are sharing electrons.
