  Group 2 nitrates when heated, gives you the metal oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.
  
  Group 1 nitrates when heated, gives you the metal nitrite (aka MNO2) and the oxygen.

  Following the reactivity series of metals,
  
  K
  Na
  Ca
  Mg
  Al
  Zn
  Fe
  Pb
  H (marker)
  Cu
  Hg
  Ag
  Pt
  
  Heating metal nitrates from Potassium to Sodium
  
  Results:
  Metal Nitrate (s) ------> Metal Nitrite (s) + Oxygen (g)
  
  Heating metal nitrates from Calcium to Copper
  
  Results:
  Metal Nitrate (s) ------> Metal Oxide (s) + Nitrogen Dioxide (g) + Oxygen (g)
  
  Heating metal nitrates from Mercury to Platinum
  
  Results:
  Metal Nitrate (s) ------> Metal (s) + Nitrogen (g) + Oxygen (g)
  
  Nitrite = NO2 (s)
  Nitrogen Dioxide = NO2 (g)
  Nitrogen = N2 (g)
  Oxygen = O2 (g)
