Question

Solution

The statement is true.
$L i_{2} C O_{3}$ decomposes into $C O_{2}$ and $L i_{2} O$ but other alkali carbonates are thermally stable. This thermal stability increases down the group.
Decompositon of lithium carbonate is easy because of its small size, high charge density of ions and high ionisation enthalphy.
