Which one is the most stable carbonate? *(a) BaCO3(b) MgCO3(c) CaCO3(d) BeCO3

(a)BaCO3

BaCO3 is more thermally stable because POLARISING POWER of Ba2+ is less than other alkaline EARTH metals and thermal stability is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to polarising power of action when compound containing polyatomic anion and here carbonate is polyatomic anion.
