As the polarizing power of cation increases thermal stability of carbonates
Correct answer: B. Decreases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Not dependent
- D. Depends upon pressure
Explanation
As the polarizing power of the cation increases, it polarizes the carbonate (anion). The nucleus of the cation attracts electrons of anion causing a decrease in its thermal stability.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
