describe, and write equations for, the thermal decomposition of the nitrates and carbonates, to include the trend in thermal stabilities
describe, explain, and write equations for, the acid/base behaviour of the oxides Na₂O, MgO, Al₂O₃, P₄O₁₀, SO₂ and SO₃ and the hydroxides NaOH, Mg(OH)₂ and Al(OH)₃ including, where relevant, amphoteric behaviour in reactions with acids and bases (sodium hydroxide only)
