All the members of group I are metals. Li and Na react with water rapidly whereas K, Rb, and Cs react vigourously. Write the electronic configuration of Li and K and find their valency from the given information. Infer the change in reactivity in a group given atomic numbers of Li and K are 3 and 19 respectively.

Answer»

Solution :Electronic configuration: `LI (3) to 2, I and K (19) to 2, 8, 8, 1`. VALENCY of both is I since they belong to group one. Since chemical reactivity INCREASES as we move down a group, K, Rb, and Cs which LIE below Li and Na in group I are more reactive.

All ores are minerals, but all minerals are not ores.Why?

Answer»

Solution :(i)The elements or compounds of the METALS which OCCUR in nature in the earth.s crust are called minerals whereas ore is a MINERAL from which the METAL is profitably extracted.(ii) For example, aluminum exists in the two mineral forms, that is clay and bauxite.But aluminum is mainly extracted from bauxite which contain 70% aluminum oxide.So, bauxite is an ore of aluminum whereas clay is not ore.
(iii) So, all ores are minerals but all minerals need not be ores.

All living organisms are made of…………………atoms.

Answer»

PHOSPHOROUS
sodium
CARBON
sulphur

ANSWER :C
8025.

All living organisms are made of carbon atoms. This means that, carbon atoms form the building blocks of living organisms. Justify this statement by giving physical nature of carbon and its compounds.

Answer»

Solution :Physical nature of carbon and its compounds.
Carbon has the ability to form covalent BONDS with other atoms of carbon giving rise to a large number of molecules through self linking property which is called catenation.
Carbon combines with oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen SULPHUR, chlorine and many other elements to form various STABLE compounds.
The stability of carbon compounds is due to the small size of carbon which enables the nucleus to hold on to the shared pair of electrons strongly.
Carbon compounds show ISOMERISM, the PHENOMENON by which two or more compounds have same molecular formula but different structural formula with difference in properties.
Carbon compounds have low boiling and low melting points because of their covalent nature.
Carbon compounds are easily combustible.

All halides of sodium are ionic. Fluorides and chlorides of magnesium are ionic. But among halides of aluminum, only AlF_(3) is ionic. How do you account for this variation?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Polarizing power of the cation depends on its size and the charge present on it. The smaller the size and the higher the charge of the cation, the greater the polarizing power. AMONG `Na^(+)`, `Mg^(+2)` and `Al^(+3)`, `Al^(+3)` has least ionic size and the charge present on it is MAXIMUM. Hence, polarizing power of `Al^(+3)` is maximum. Among the halides `AlF_(3)` is ionic, but other halides of aluminium are covalent. Polarizing power of MAGNESIUM is less than aluminium. Hence, CHLORIDE and fluoride of magnesium are ionic. But `Na^(+)` has the least polarizing power. Hence, all the haldies of sodium are ionic.
