Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Barium carbonate is insoluble in water and is highly stable.
Reason (R) : The thermal stability of the carbonates increases with increasing cationic size.
Assertion (A) : Barium carbonate is insoluble in water and is highly stable.
Reason (R) : The thermal stability of the carbonates increases with increasing cationic size.
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the true explanation of (A)
- B (A) is true but (R) is false
- C Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the true explanation of (A)
- D (A) is false but (R) is true.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
In IIA group on moving down the group size of cation increases and show thermal stability of carbonate increases.
