Explanation

(D). The divalent Ca2+ ion has no unpaired electron, hence, its compounds are diamagnetic and colourless, provided their anions are also colourless.

Calcium hydride can be obtained by heating-

Explanation

(B). Since ionisation energy decreases on moving down the group, the electropositive character increases on moving down from lithium towards cesium.

A hydrated water soluble salt, A in solution gives a turbidity with dilute hydrochloric acid evolving a gas with a suffocation odour. The solution of A decolourises lodine solution. A is likely to be

Explanation

(C). The reactions are

Na2S2O3+2HCl2NaCl+SO2+S+H2O

2Na2S2O3+I22NaI+Na2S4O6Sodium tetrathionate

Sodium thiosulfate is an inorganic compound with the formula Naâ‚‚Sâ‚‚O₃xHâ‚‚O. Typically it is available as the white or colorless pentahydrate, Naâ‚‚Sâ‚‚O₃·5Hâ‚‚O. The solid is an efflorescent crystalline substance that dissolves well in water.

Which of the following compounds may be soluble in pyridine-

Explanation

(C). Due to high positive charge density on Li+, it forms compounds with maximum covalent character. So lithium chloride may be soluble in pyridine.

Which of the following statement regarding isolation of Na and K metal is true –

Explanation

(D). Sodium and potassium can be prepared by the electrolysis of their fused chlorides but not from aqueous solutions of their salts, because these metals are very reactive.

Which of the following is a false statement-

Explanation

(C). The thermal stability of calcium carbonate is more as compared to that of beryllium carbonate. The ionic potential (ϕ) value of Be2+ is more than that of Ca2+. So Be2+ attracts the oxygen of CO32- more and on heating beryllium carbonate losses CO2 more easily.

The basic character of oxides MgO, SrO, K2O, NiO and Cs2O increases in the order –

Explanation

(C). Alkali metal oxides are more basic than alkaline earth metal oxides and basic nature increases as we move down the group.

Which of the following ions is the best conductor of electricity in aqueous solution –

Explanation

(C). Because Cs+ is least hydrated and can move faster in aqueous solution. Hence it is the best conductor of electricity.

Which among the following statement is not correct –

Explanation

(A). Lithium is harder than other alkali metals. In a group the softness of metal increases from top to bottom as the strength of metallic bond decreases.
