Detailed Solution
Since a large size cation(K+) will stabilise the large size anion [CO3-2]Hint : If both factors vary at same time then charge is dominant over radius Size order : K+ > Ca+2Charges order Ca+2 > K+In the above example both size and charge varies but charge dominant over radius Stability order : K2CO3 > CaCO3
