Which one of the following alkaline earth metal carbonates is thermally the most stable ?A. `MgCO_(3)`B. `CaCO_(3)`C. `SrCO_(3)`D. `BaCO_(3)` |
Answer» As the electropositive character of the metal increases or the basicity of their hydroxides increases down the group, their thermal stability increases . Thus , `BaCO_(3)` is the most stable and hence option (d) is correct . | |
