Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): The carbonate of lithium decomposes easily on heating to form lithium oxide and CO2.
Reason (R): Lithium being very small in size polarises large carbonate ions leading to the formation of more stable Li2O and CO2.

 

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.
