Read the following statements (S) and Explanation (E). Choose the correct answers from the codes
is insoluble.
The best explanation for not placing hydrogen with the group of alkali metals or halogens is.
(C). The IE of hydrogen is much higher than those of alkali metals and slightly higher than those
of halogens. For example IE of Cl is 1255 kJ/mole and IE of H is 1312 kJ/mole.
Assertion : Beryllium hydride is a covalent hydride.
Reason : The electronegativity difference between and is very high.
(C). The electronegativity difference between and is small.
Sodium forms Na+ and not Na2+ because:
(b) It is a reason for given fact
Which statement is false for alkali metals ?
Density of potasium is less than sodium due to anomolous increase in size
Which of the following has largest size in aqueous solution.
Size in aq. solution
For the alkali metals, which of the following increases with increasing atomic number:-
Atomic radius increases as the atomic number increases.
Which is not correctly matched?
(A)
Basic strength of the oxides increases in the order The increase
in basic strength is due to the decrease in I.E. and increase in electropositive character. The melting
points of the halides decrease in order , as the size of the halide ion
increases. The decrease in melting point is due to increase the covalent character with increase in the
size of anion according to Fazan's rule.
Consider the following statements and pick out the correct one.
(C)
(1) The solubility increases down the group because the change in lattice energy is more as compared
to hydration energy. Thermal stability and the basic character both increase down the group as
metallic character increases.
(2) It is a correct statement.
(3) Beryllium and aluminium are diagonally related. Chlorides of both are covalent in nature and
thus are soluble in organic solvents. Chlorides of both are electron deficient and thus act as
strong Lewis acids.
Assertion : As the electropositive character increases down the group, the stability of carbonates and hydrogen carbonates of alkali metals increases.
Reason : Lithium carbonates is not so stable to heat ; lithium being very small in size polarizes a large ion leading to the formation of more stable and .
(B) (i) Bigger cation stabilises bigger anions and vice-versa.
(ii) Alkali metal carbonates and their bicarbonates stabilities depend on their metallic character.
Stability of carbonates and bicarbonates Metallic character of their i.e. electropositive character.
