    The term has loosely been used to describe a relatively unstable and transient chemical species or (less commonly) a relatively stable but reactive species. It must therefore not be used without explanation of the intended meaning. See also inert , persistent , reactive , unreactive .

    The word "labile" refers to something that tends to change, not stable. It's used in psychology to describe someone who's unstable, or in chemistry to describe a material who tends to be chemically changed.
