name the following
a metallic nitrate on heating gives gaseous product
Two stable metallic hydroxides
Answers
Explanation:
The facts
Group 1 compounds are more stable to heat than the corresponding compounds in Group 2. You will often find that the lithium compounds behave similarly to Group 2 compounds, but the rest of Group 1 are in some way different.
Heating the nitrates
Most nitrates tend to decompose on heating to give the metal oxide, brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen.
For example, a typical Group 2 nitrate like magnesium nitrate decomposes like this:
In Group 1, lithium nitrate behaves in the same way - producing lithium oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.
The rest of the Group, however, don't decompose so completely (at least not at Bunsen temperatures) - producing the metal nitrite and oxygen, but no nitrogen dioxide.
All the nitrates from sodium to caesium decompose in this same way, the only difference being how hot they have to be to undergo the reaction. As you go down the Group, the decomposition gets more difficult, and you have to use higher temperatures.

Answer:
Here is your answer! Hope it helps
Explanation:
The hydroxides of the alkali metals, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium, are the strongest bases and the most stable and most soluble of the hydroxides. Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, also known as caustic soda or lye, is of great industrial importance.
Most nitrates tend to decompose on heating to give the metal oxide, brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen.
