What is different between elements of first group and other group is s and p-block? Why?

Answer»

Solution :Behaviour of first group of elements are different from other elements because their volume are very less and charge or radius are high and more electronegativity.
(i)Metallic radius are less :
Ex. Metallic radius of first group of elements M/pm : Li (152) , Be(111) , B (88)
Metallic radius of second group of elements M/pm : Na (186) , Mg (160) , Al (143)
(II) Ionic radius are less :
Ionic radius of first group of elements M+/pm : Li (76), Be (31)
Ionic radius of second group of elements `M^(+)`/pm : Na (102), Mg (72)
Maximum four valence orbitals are form in bond FORMATION `(2s, 2p_(x) , 2p_(y), 2p_(z))`. vailable for bonding, whereas the second member of the groups have nine valence orbitals `(3s , 3p , 3d)`.
As a consequence of this, the maximum covalency of the first member of each group is 4 (e.g., boron can only form `[BF_(4)]^(-)` , whereas the other members of the groups can expand their valence shell to accommodate more than four pairs of electrons (e.g. aluminium forms `[AIF_(6)]^(3-)`).
Furthermore, the first member of p-block elements displays greater ability to form `p_(pi) - p_(pi)`multiple bonds to itself.
e.g. : `C = C, -= C, N = N , N -= N`
First member from `p_(pi) - p_(pi)`bond with other elements of second PERIOD.
While other elements of group do not form `p_(pi) - p_(pi)` bond.
