Is this sentence correct? "On stability, molecule A has a greater value than molecule B because blah blah blah"?
Just as the question stated.
I want to know if the sentence above makes any grammatical sense.
I looked up "on" in the dictionary just so I could satisfy my Grammar Nazi urges, and one of the defintions was as follows: "With regards/respect to."
So, if I were to substitute ^ for ON, the sentence would make sense, hence, making my original sentence make sense.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

It is understandable, but not great wording. I would use "regarding" in that sentence. It can mean "With regards/respect to." For example, I could say, "His views on social programs are well known."
