Hey , You are welcoming here .
This is our chemistry project this year (2012).
Our topic is on heating of metal carbonates,
we hope that you will learn something from here.

Conclusion

Conclusion

Based on all the various videos, with the help of the internet and support from the Chemistry textbook, we conclude that  the ability for carbonate to decompose is related to the position of metals in the reactivity series. The more reactive metal is more stable to heat thus it will not decomposed upon heating. Metal-carbonate below sodium decomposed upon heating to form metal oxide and carbon dioxide with the exception of silver carbonate which will decompose to form silver and carbon dioxide.
