    The carbonate that will not decompose on heating is

    A)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]             

    B)         \[CaC{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[BaC{{O}_{3}}\]             

    D)         \[SrC{{O}_{3}}\]

    E)  \[L{{i}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]will not decompose on heating. All alkali metal (IA group) carbonates (except\[L{{i}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]) are highly stable and not decomposes on heating. Carbonates of alkaline earth metal (II A group) decompose into\[C{{O}_{2}}\]and metal oxide.
