Discuss the trend of the following: Thermal stability of carbonates of Group-2 elements. |
|
Answer» Solution :THERMAL stability increases down the group. On heating, these CARBONATES give `CO_(2)`and oxide of the respective ELEMENT of group-2. `BeCO_(3) lt MgCO_(3) lt CaCO_(3)lt SrCO_(3) lt BaCO_(3)` `BeCO_(3)`is unstable and made stable in the ATMOSPHEREOF `CO_(2)`. `BeCO_(3) hArr BeP+CO_(2)` |
