The alkali metals dissolve in liquid ammonia giving deep blue solutions. When they become diamagnetic, the solution turns into
When the solution become diamagnetic due to formation of electron cluster in which ammoniated electron with opposite spin group- it changes its color to bronze.
Alkali metal chlorides donot form hydrates except for one metal. Choose from among the options given below.
Lithium due to its high hydration energy(deliquescent) forms hydrate.
Lithium has most negative E0 value, its reaction with water is less vigorous than that of sodium which has the least negative E0 value among the alkali metals. The reason is
This behaviour of lithium is attributed to its small size and very high hydration energy. Li+ has maximum degree of hydration.
The common salt or table salt is
Common salt is sodium chloride i.e. NaCl. It is generally obtained by evaporation of sea water. It is used as a table salt for domestic purposes.
2M + 2H2O →2M++ 2OH−+ H2 What is M?
M is alkali metal. Alkali metals reacts with water vigorously to form hydroxide (OH-) and dihydrogen (H2)
When sodium is dissolved in liquid ammonia, a solution of deep blue colour is obtained. The colour of the solution is due to
The alkali metals dissolve in liquid ammonia giving deep blue solutions which are conducting in nature. The blue colour of the solution is due to the ammoniated electron which absorbs energy in the visible region of light and thus imparts blue colour to the solution.M + (x + y) NH3 → [M (NH3)x]+[e (NH3)y]−
All alkali metal halides are soluble in water except
Greater the lattice energy, higher is the melting point of the MX (metal halide) and lower is its solubility
Lithium halides are somewhat covalent because
Li+ ion has small size and maximum tendency to attract the electrons towards itself from the negative ion. This distortion of the electron cloud of the negative ion by the positive ion is known as polarization. Thus Li+ has high polarisation capability. Lithium iodide is the most covalent in nature.
Choose the correct trend of the melting and boiling points in the alkali metal halides, MF, MCl, MI, MBr.
Smaller is the size of anion less is the polarizing power of anion so greater is the ionic character hence greater will be melting point.
Washing soda is
Washing soda is Na2CO3.10H2O i.e. sodium carbonate decahydrate. It is used in water softening, laundering and cleaning, manufacture of glass etc.
