The correct order of increasing thermal stability of `K_(2)CO_(3),MgCO_(3),CaCO_(3),` and `BeCO_(3)` isA. `BeCO_(3)ltMgCO_(3)ltCaCO_(3)ltK_(2)CO_(3)`B. `K_(2)CO_(3)ltMgCO_(3)ltCaCO_(3)ltBeCO_(3)`C. `MgCO_(3)ltBeCO_(3)ltCaCO_(3)ltK_(2)CO_(3)`D. `BeCO_(3)ltMgCO_(3)ltK_(2)CO_(3)ltCaCO_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
As the basicly of metal hydroxide increases down the group, thermal stability of their carbonates increases in the same order. As we know, group 1 compounds are more stable than group 2 compounds. Hence, correct order is
`BeCO_(3)ltMgCO_(3)ltCaCO_(3)ltK_(2)CO_(3)`
