(B) As we move down in the group 1, due to increasing atomic size, increased sheilding effect and decreased effective nuclear charge, it becomes more and more difficult to add electron. to these elements. Hence, standard reduction potential of alkali metals becomes less negative down the group. Hence, in group 1 elements, Lithium has the highest negative standard reduction potential. (A) Francium is group 1 element while others are group 2 elements. (D) Potassium superoxide has ability to absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen at the same time. 4KO, + 2CO:2 —> 2K,CO; + 302 Due to this property of KOp, it is used in breathing equipment used for mountaineers and in submarines and space. (B) Beryllium oxide (BeO) is an amphoteric oxide and thus, it reacts with both acid (HCI) as well as base (NaOH). (©) Se is group 2 clement while others are group 1 elements, (p) 36. (A) (A). Rubidium (Rb) is group 1 element and has only one electron in the valence shell, Ba, Ca and Ra ate group 2 elements.38. 39. 40. 41. 2. 43. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. Si. (A) Among alkali metals, Lithium (Li) has smallest atomic size and highest ionization enthalpy. (A) Potassium belongs to group 1. Its : outermost electronic configuration is 4s', It | forms K’ ion having electronic configuration: [Ar]. Hence, K* is diamagnetic. : (A) Strontium belongs to group-2 and group-2 elements are called as alkaline earth metals, (C)_KOz has ability to absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen at the same time. AKO: + 2CO; > 2KxCO; +302 ¢ This property of KO; has been made use of in breathing equipment used in submarines. Thinking Hatke - 0.43 Only Sr belongs to group 2, others belong to group 1. Elements of group 2 has common oxidation state +2 «© (B) Diagonal relationship: 45. (D) (B) The general electronic configuration of group 2 elements (alkaline earth metals) is ns”. Among given options, Mg is a group 2 element. (B) Na” ion is stable as it is isoelectronic with Ne. © (D) The general electronic configuration of group 1 elements (alkali metals) is ns’. (B) 52. 53. 54, 55. 56. 37. 58. 59, 60. 61. (D) Melting point of group-1 decreases down the group. (B) elements (A) When carbon dioxide is bubbled througt solution of calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) water insoluble solid calcium carbonate js formed. Ca(OH) (aq) + COr(e > CaCO) + Hain, (B) All the metals of group 2, excep beryllium, when heated with hydrogen fo MH type hydrides. Hence, statement (B) is correct. Elements of group 2 elements act as inen elements in +2 state. Elements at the top in the group 2 do not catch fire when kept on water. Reducing power of group 2 elements is less than group 1 elements. Hence, statements (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect. (C) Elements of group 1 rapidly lose their luster in air due to formation of a layer of oxide, peroxide or superoxide by reaction with oxygen init. (©) The reactivity of the elements of group 1 and group 2 increases with increasing atomic radius and corresponding lowering of ionization enthalpy down the group. Hence, beryllium has lowest reactivity. ©) (A) All the alkali metals have high negative values of E® which indicates that they have strong reducing nature and hence, they can be used as strong reducing agents. (D) Calcium is an alkaline earth metal, (A) Reaction of steam on hydrocarbon or coke (©) at 1270 K temperature in presence of nickel catalyst gives water-gas (syngas) which is @ mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
