When these compounds are heated:
AgNO₃ (Silver nitrate)
On heating, it decomposes to metallic silver, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen:
Ag (silver) is a metal, so it remains as a metal residue. ✅
Cu(NO₃)₂ (Copper(II) nitrate)
Leaves CuO (copper(II) oxide), not the metal. ❌
K₂CO₃ (Potassium carbonate)
It is thermally stable and does not decompose easily when heated. ❌
CaCO₃ (Calcium carbonate)
Leaves CaO (calcium oxide), which is not a metal. ❌
