Sodium reacts with water less vigorously than potassium because-
(B) The reactivity of alkali metals increases down the groups.
The density of-
(A). The densities of elements of group 1 are quite low (Li = 0.534 g/cc, Na = 0.972, K = 0.559, Rb = 1.53, Cs = 1.903).
It increases gradually in moving from Li to Cs. However potassium is lighter than sodium probably due to an unusual increase in atomic size of potassium.
Which of the following is amphoteric –
(A) reacts with both acid and bases or dissolves in acids as well as in alkalies.
The reason for the lower basicity of alkaline earth metals than alkali metals is.
(C). Because alkali metals are more electropositive than alkaline earth metals.
In ionic radius of is more while atomic radius of is –
(B). Alkali metals have the largest atomic sizes in their corresponding periods.K+ = 138 pm,
F- 133 pm
Lattice energy is lowest for –
(D). Due to large size of Cs and I atoms.
MgO is a-
(B). It is a basic oxide and hence reacts with acids to form salts.
Which of the following statements is wrong ?
(A).
Ionic conductances of hydrated M+ ions are in the order-
(D). Due to high charge density of is attracts more water molecules and becomes bulky so the ionic conductances of ions increase from ion to ion.
Which of the following halides has the highest melting point-
(D). Apply Fazan’s rule.
