Thermal stability increases with the increase in the size of the cation present in the carbonate. However, these hydroxides are less basic than the corresponding alkali metal hydroxides because of higher ionization energies, smaller ionic sizes and greater lattice energies. Question 16.

The hydroxides of alkaline earth metals therefore come under weak base category. (a) Nitrates (b) Carbonates (c) Sulphates Answer: (a) Nitrates of both group 1 and group 2 elements are soluble in water because hydration energy is more than the lattice energy.
