Explanation

BaSO4 is insoluble.

The best explanation for not placing hydrogen with the group of alkali metals or halogens is.

Explanation

(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 Be and H is very high.

Explanation

(A)

     Basic strength of the oxides increases in the order Li2O<Na2O<K2O<Rb2O<Cs2O. 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 NaF>NaCl>NaBr>Nal, 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.

Explanation

(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 CO32-ion leading to the formation of more stable Li2O and CO2.

Explanation

(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.
