Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 10

Choose the correct statements from the following.

Detailed Solution for Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 10

The correct answer is Option B
Be is not readily attacked by acids due to formation of oxide layer.
The surface of beryllium metal is covered with a thin layer of oxide that helps protect the metal from attack by air. It does not oxidize in air even at 600oC. 
2Be+O2⟶2BeO

Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 11

Which one of the following orders presents the correct sequence of the increasing basic nature of the given oxides? 

Detailed Solution for Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 11

While moving from left to right in periodic table basic character of oxide of elements will decrease. ∴→Increasing basic strength Al2O3<MgO<Na2O    and while descending in the group basic character of corresponding oxides increases.  ∴→Increasing basic strength Na2O<K2O   ∴ Correct Order is Al2O3 < MgO <Na2O <K2O

Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 12

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

Detailed Solution for Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 12

Li due its small size have high Lattice energy value which compensates its high ionization energy so has most negative E0 value

Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 13

Alkaline earth metals show large size of the atoms. Therefore, they have

Detailed Solution for Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 13

The low ionisation enthalpies of the alkaline earth metals is because of their strong tendency to lose electrons due to their smaller nuclear charge and comparatively larger atomic size which results in weaker forces of attraction between the valence electrons and the nucleus.

Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 14

Metals form basic hydroxides. Which of the following metal hydroxide is the least basic?

Detailed Solution for Test: The s-Block Elements - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 14

Due to small size of Mg. Mg-O become more stronger hence tendency of OH to leave decreases thus basic character decreases.
