Question

The correct order of increasing thermal stability of $K_2CO_3, MgCO_3, CaCO_3$ and $BeCO_3$ is

$BeCO_3 < MgCO_3 < K_2CO_3 < CaCO_3$

$BeCO_3 < MgCO_3 < CaCO_3 < K_2CO_3$

$MgCO_3 < BeCO_3 < CaCO_3 < K_2CO_3$

$K_2CO_3 < MgCO_3 < CaCO_3 < BeCO_3$

Answer

$BeCO_3 < MgCO_3 < CaCO_3 < K_2CO_3$

Explanation

Solution

Thermal stability of carbonates increases in a group as we move from top to bottom and decreases in a period as we move from left to right, so the correct order of thermal stability of given carbonates
is
$BeCO_3 < MgCO_3 < CaCO_3 < K_2CO_3$
$Be, Mg$ and $Ca$ are present in second group and $K$ is present in first group
