NFPA Yellow hazard stands for which hazard?

Explanation:
NFPA 704 uses a color-coded diamond where yellow represents instability or reactivity. This tells you how likely a material is to undergo a dangerous chemical change, release energy, or produce hazardous gases when exposed to heat, shock, or water. The higher the number in the yellow section, the more reactive or unstable the substance is. The other colors convey different hazards: blue for health, red for flammability, and white for special hazards.
