Standard enthalpies of formation of `O_(3),CO_(3),NH_(3) and HI` are 142.2,-383.2,-46.2 and +25.9kJ `mol^(-1)` respectively. The order of their increasing stabilities will be:A. `O_(3),CO_(2),NH_(3),HI`B. `CO_(2),NH_(3),HI,O_(3)`C. `O_(3),HI,NH_(3),CO_(2)`D. `NH_(2),HI,CO_(2),O_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
(i) Exothermic compounds are more stable than endothermic compounds
(ii) Greater is the amount of heat evolved in the formation of a compound, more will be its stability.
