Answer:
The Nitrates and Carbonates Of Li are decomposed on heating
Explanation:
Li has small size . So, the lattice energy of the product oxide is considerable due to close packing . Hence, the oxide is stable and carbonates/nitrates of Li are converted into oxide readily. So, they are not stable ..
