Which one is maximum ionic in nature and decompose on heating?
Correct answer: D. CsOH
- A. HCO3-
- B. NaOH
- C. KOH
- D. CsOH
Explanation
lonic character, melting point, boiling point, reactivity, thermal stability and solubility in water increase from Li to Cs due to increasing ionic radius and hence increased polarisation of the cation.And the thermal stability increases down the group

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
