9. Thermal Stability of Group II Nitrates M 2+ O 2- + NO 2 Polarisation of electron cloud of nitrate ion by a Group II cation

10. Decomposition of Group II nitrates occurs Thermal Stability of Group II Nitrates M 2+ M 2+ O 2- + NO 2 Heat N - O O O Bond is weakened due to polarisation of electron cloud by cation

11. In summary, Down the group, Charge density of cation decreases Polarising power of cation decreases Decomposition temperature increases Size of cation increases Thermal stability increases Thermal Stability of Group II Nitrates
