A-1. Why do alkali metals form unipositive ions and impart characteristic colours to flame?
{kkj /kkrq,sa lkekU;r% ,dla;ksth /kuk;u cukrh gS rFkk Tokyk dks vfHkyk{kf.kd jax iznku djrh gSa] D;ksa \
Ans. After removal of Ist electron alkali metal occupies inert gas configuration. Now removal of II nd electron
from inert gas configuration requires very high energy, therefore, they form unipositive ions. As IE1 of
these metals are low, the excitation of electrons can be done by providing less energy. This much of
energy can be given by Bunsen flame. When they drop back to the ground state, there is emission of
radiation in the visible region.

(b) E1 value of Mg is more than that of Na while it’s E2 value is less. Explain ?
Mg dh E1 dk eku, Na ls vf/kd gS ijUrq bldh E2 dk eku de gksrk gS] le>kb;s \
Sol. (a) The ionization enthalpy (iH) of potassium (419 kJ mol–1) is less than that of sodium (496 kJ mol–1)
or more precisely the standard electrode potential (Eº) of potassium (– 2.925 V) is more negative than
that of sodium (– 2.714 V) and hence potassium is more reactive than sodium.
(b)E1 of Mg (3s2 ) > Na (3s1)
as Mg has fully filled electronic configuration while Na has one unpaired electron. 
 E2 of Mg (3s1) > Na (2p6)
as Mg+ (3s1) has one unpaired electron and Na+ has inert gas configuration.

tyh; foy;uksa esa {kkj /kkrq vk;uksa ds xfr'khyrk ds Øe % Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+ ij fVIi.kh fdft,A
Ans. Smaller the size of the ion, more highly it is hydrated and hence greater is the mass of the hydrated ion
and hence lower is its ionic mobility. Since the extent of hydration decreases in the order :
Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+
therefore, ionic mobility increases in the order :

xeZ djus ij LiNO3 lewg ds vU; rRoksa ls vyx O;ogkj D;ks iznf'kZr djrk gS\
Ans. Due to small size Li+, it has high polarising power while from Na+ to Cs+ have bigger size. So they have
low polarising power. Li+ is more similar to Mg2+ in its properties, which destabilizes a polyatomic anion
due to its high polarising power.

;|fi Li dk vk;uu foHko cgqr vf/kd gS] fQj Hkh ;g izcy vipk;d dk dk;Z D;ks djrk gS ?
Ans. Lithium is expected to be least reducing agent due to it’s very high I.E. However, lithium has the highest
hydration enthalpy due to small size which accounts for its high negative E  and its high reducing
power.

Ans. (i) Be2+ & O2– smaller in size & thus higher lattice energy and lattice energy is greater than hydration
energy in BeO where as in BeSO4 lattice energy is less due to bigger sulphate ion and is soluble.
Order of solubility : BeO < MgO < CaO < SrO < BaO
(ii) In BaSO4 lattice energy is greater than hydration energy while in BaO lattice energy is smaller than
hydration energy.

Comprehension # 1
All alkali metals dissolve in anhydrous liquid ammonia to give blue colour solution. It is the ammoniated
electron which is responsible for the blue colour of the solution, and the electrical conductivity is mainly
due to ammoniated electron, [e(NH3)y]–. Dilute solutions are paramagnetic due to free ammoniated
electrons ; this paramagnetism decreases at higher concentration. Above 3M concentration, the
solutions are diamagnetic and no longer blue but are bronze/copper-bronze coloured with a metallic
luster.

[JEE-1999, 2/200]
Sol. (i) Beryllium chloride is acidic, when dissolved in water because the hydrated ion hydrolysed producing
H3O+. This happens because the Be–O bond is very strong, and so in the hydrated ion this weakens
the
O–H bonds, and hence there is tendency to lose portons.

Paragraph for Question Nos. 20 to 22

Alkali metals oxide are obtained by combustion of the metals. Although Na normally gives Na2 O2, it will
take up further oxygen at elevated pressure and temperatures to form NaO 2. The per and superoxides
of the heavier alkalies can also be prepared by passing stoichiometric amounts of oxygen into their
solution in liquid ammonia.
The different alkali metal oxides can be distinguished by reaction with water. The superoxides reacts
with CO2 and give oxygen gas. The stability of per and superoxides is based upon that larger cation can
stablise larger anion, due to larger lattice energy.
Alkali metals dissolve in liquid ammonia. Dilute solutions are dark blue in colour but as the
concentration increases above 3M, the colour changes to copper bronze and the solution acquires the
metallic lusture due to the formation of metal ions clusters. The solution of alkali metals in liquid
ammonia are good conductors of electricity due to the presence of ammoniated cations and
ammoniated electrons. However, the conductivity decreases as the concentrations increases, since
ammoniated electrons and ammoniated cation associate.
