What is meant by setting of cement?
-
Why alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are called s-block elements?
-
Lithium halides are covalent. Explain.
-
Why table salt becomes wet when kept in open space?
-
Explain:
(i) Ionisation enthalpy of alkaline earth metals are low compared to 'p' block elements.
(ii) Ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group.
(iii) Ionisation enthalpy of group 2 elements are higher than that of group 1 elements. -

-
Describe the method of electrolysis of brine solution?
-
List out the uses of alkali metals
-
State as to why
(a) Alkali metals show only +1 oxidation state.
(b) Na and K impart colour to the flame but Mg does not.
(c) Lithium on being heated in air mainly forms the monoxide and not the peroxide.
(d) Li is the best reducing agent in aqueous solution -
How is sodium hydroxide prepared commercially from brine solution?
-
An element belongs to group 1 and period 3 reacts with chlorine gas to form A. (A) reacts with ammonium bicarbonate to give compounds (B) and (C). Compound (B) is then heated to give compound (D). Identify A, B, C and D and write the respective equations.
-
Describe the biological importance of sodium and potassium.
-
-
The hydrides of alkali metals behave as strong reducing agents - Justify the statement.
-
An element occupies group number 1 and period number 3. This element when exposed to air gives compound (A). The element with water forms compound (B). Which is a strong base and (A) with ammonia gives compound (C) which is used as a reducing agent in organic chemistry? The element reacts with a halogen and forms cooking salt (D). Identify A, B, C and D

-
Explain in what respects lithium is different from other metals of the same group.
