Which is not correctly matched ?

(1) Basic strength of oxides     Cs2O< />2O< K2O < Na2O < Li2O

(2) Stability of peroxides    Na2O2 < K2O2 < Rb2O2 < Cs2O2

(3) Stability of bicarbonates    LiHCO3 < NaHCO3 < KHCO3 < RbHCO3 < CsHCO3

(4) Melting point    NaF < NaCl < NaBr < NaI

Detailed Solution: Question 15

Basic strength of the oxides increase in the order Li2O < Na2O < K2O < Rb2O < Cs2O. The increase in basic strength is due to the decrease in I.E. down the group.

The melting point of the halides decrease in the order NaF < NaCl < NaBr < NaI, because of the decrease in lattice energies, as the size of the halide ion increases.

s-Block Elements (Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals) - 2 - Question 17
Save

The set representing the correct order of first ionization potential is

Detailed Solution: Question 17

Down the group size of atoms increases, therefore, the distance between the nucleus and the valence electron to be removed increases. So the attraction between nucleus and that electron decreases. Hence the ionization potential decreases down the group.
