A group two element `M` forms a carbide which is actually a methanide (i.e., it gives off methane of hydrolysis). Then, which of the following statements is/are correct for the element?A. The aqua complex of `M^(2+)` acidic.B. Dolomite is an important mineral of the element M.C. `M` is toxic.D. `M(OH)_(@)` is amphoteric and dissolves in excess `NaOH` to form hexahydroxido complex. |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D Be ( like Al) is the only element of group two which forms methanide, other group two elements from ethynide and allylide. `Be_(2)C+H_(2)OtoBe(OH)_(2)+CH_(4)` Aqua complex of `Be^(2+)` is acidic due to hydrolysis. Be (like Ba) is toxic,its hydroxide is amphoteric, but it forms only tetrahydroxido complex. Dolomite is `CaCO_(3).MgCO_(3)` |
