    From the third sentence in the wiki page:

    It is, however, so extremely reactive that it is not encountered in everyday life.

    So yeah, not at all stable.

      I was about to say, you got way too many things that absolutely will bond with that with no hesitation. Thats a very unstable molecule.

        I would thing the plastic lining in that container would probably be high on the bonding list, but I haven’t taken a chemistry class in 24 years.

      But wait, from further down:

      It is stable enough to observe reactions with NO and NO2

      We now have a lower and upper bound for its reactivity at least:

      able to observe reactions with NO and NO2 ≤ Reactivity < encountered in everyday life
