When do we say that a compound is thermally stable? I was studying the properties of compounds of alkaline earth metals and somewhere in my textbook it was written, The solubility, thermal stability and basic character of hydroxides increases with increasing atomic number from Mg(OH)2 to Ba(OH)2. I was totally confused as to how the thermal stability and solubility of compound increase simultaneously. I am not able to understand what thermal stability even is and how it is contrasted with solubility.
