An ionic compound is more thermally stable when the metal cation is more reactive. So its harder to decompose. But then what's the difference between melting and decomposition?
Also, when an compound is harder to decompose, does it mean its melting point is higher? Because even though Na2O should be more thermally stable, it has a lower melting point than MgO.
Thanks so much for the help!
