$M g C O_{3}$ is thermally more stable than $C a C O_{3}$ .
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Solution

$C a C O_{3}$ is more stable than $M g C O_{3}$ because thermal stability of carbonates of group-2 increases down the group with increase in the size of cation. This is because larger cation stabilizes the larger carbonate ion more.
Hence, the statement is true.
