If a substance is thermally unstable it means it breaks down at high temperature. It cannot withstand high temperature.

Which alkali metal carbonate is thermally unstable and why?

Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is thermally unstable compared to other alkali metal carbonates like sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3). This is because of its smaller ionic size and higher charge density, which leads to stronger lithium-oxygen bonds that are more easily broken by heat, causing the compound to decompose at lower temperatures.
