Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Enthalpy formation can be either positive or negative .The positive enthalpy formation indicates the compound is endothermic.

Negative enthalpy formation indicates the formation of the compound is exothermic.It means that it has highest thermal stability.Therefore they are very stable
