Options
- ABeryllium carbonate (BeCO3)
- BMagnesium carbonate (MgCO3)
- CCalcium carbonate (CaCO3)
- DStrontium carbonate (SrCO3)
Correct answer
D. Strontium carbonate (SrCO3)
Step-by-step solution
Strontium carbonate (SrCO3) has the highest thermal stability among the alkaline earth metal carbonates. The thermal stability increases with increasing cationic size.
