The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the differences between \( \text{Na}^+ \) and \( \text{Ag}^+ \), we will analyze the provided options step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the thermal stability of carbonates - **Statement**: \( \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \) is thermally stable while \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) decomposes into \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_2 \) and \( \text{O}_2 \). - **Explanation**: Sodium carbonate (\( \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \)) is known to be thermally stable and does not decompose easily upon heating. In contrast, silver carbonate (\( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \)) is unstable and decomposes when heated to form silver oxide and carbon dioxide. Thus, this statement is correct. ### Step 2: Complex formation - **Statement**: \( \text{Ag}^+ \) forms complexes while \( \text{Na}^+ \) does not. - **Explanation**: Silver ions (\( \text{Ag}^+ \)) can form various complexes, such as \( \text{Ag(CN)}_2^- \) (silver cyanide complex). On the other hand, sodium ions (\( \text{Na}^+ \)) do not typically form such complexes. Therefore, this statement is also correct. ### Step 3: Solubility of chlorides - **Statement**: \( \text{NaCl} \) is water soluble, while \( \text{AgCl} \) is insoluble. - **Explanation**: Sodium chloride (\( \text{NaCl} \)) is a strong electrolyte and dissolves completely in water, dissociating into \( \text{Na}^+ \) and \( \text{Cl}^- \) ions. Conversely, silver chloride (\( \text{AgCl} \)) is known to be insoluble in water and forms a precipitate when mixed with water. Thus, this statement is also true. ### Conclusion Since all three statements are correct, the answer to the question is that \( \text{Na}^+ \) and \( \text{Ag}^+ \) differ in all the mentioned aspects. ### Final Answer The correct option is **all of the above**. ---
