    The correct sequence of thermal stability of the following carbonates is           [JEE Main Held on 12-4-2019 Morning]

    A) \[BaC{{O}_{3}}<CaC{{O}_{3}}<SrC{{O}_{3}}<MgC{{O}_{3}}\]

    B) \[MgC{{O}_{3}}<CaC{{O}_{3}}<SrC{{O}_{3}}<BaC{{O}_{3}}\]

    C) \[BaC{{O}_{3}}<SrC{{O}_{3}}<CaC{{O}_{3}}<MgC{{O}_{3}}\]

    D) \[MgC{{O}_{3}}<SrC{{O}_{3}}<CaC{{O}_{3}}<BaC{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Thermal stability of Alkaline earth metals carbonates increases down the group. because down the group polarizing power of cation decreases. So thermal stability increases. Hence, Thermal stability order : \[MgC{{O}_{3}}<CaC{{O}_{3}}<SrC{{O}_{3}}<BaC{{O}_{3}}\]
