If you mean in chemistry it means that the element or compound has the maximum amount of electrons on its outer energy level, which keeps it from trying to shed or gain electrons, thereby rendering it "stable".

usually associated with equilibrium.. think of a slanted surface vs. bowl.. it's like a ball on a surface.. if you move it and let go and it comes back to the original position then the position is a stable equilibrium.. if it keeps moving then it isn't..

Objects may be balanced in three states: stable, unstable and metastable (see link). In like manner certain chemical reactions may exhibit the same three states.

A stable is where you keep horses.
