I think it’s saying that estrogen has more double carbon bonds, so it’s more stable as a molecule

It has basically an entire benzene ring, one of the most stable structures in chemistry.

That’s an overstatement, but it is extremely stable compared to most things in solution.

  Not much of an overstatement tbh.

    It’s stable in terms of solute chemistry, compared to other crystalline stuff it can be much weaker.

    Oh sure, we’re talking solids at that point haha.
