  • The chemical reactivity can be illustrated by comparing the reaction of elements with oxygen to form oxides and the nature of the oxides.
  • Alkali metals present on the extreme left of the modem periodic table are highly reactive and thus, they react vigorously with oxygen to form oxides such as Na2O which reacts with water to form strong bases like NaOH.
  • The reactive elements on the right i.e., halogens react with oxygen to form oxides such as Cl2O7 which on reaction with water form strong acids like HClO4.
  • The oxides of the elements in the centre of the main group elements are either amphoteric (Al2O3) neutral (CO,NO) or weakly acidic (CO2).

Give reason:  Group 18 elements do not participate in chemical reactions readily.

Group 18 is the last group of p-block and include noble or inert gases. They have closed valence shells (complete duplet in the case of ‘He’ and complete octet in the...

Comment on the chemical reactivity of d-block and f-block elements.

d-block (transition) elements and f-block (inner transition) elements exhibit very small change in atomic radii. Therefore, the transition and inner transition elements belonging to the individual series have similar chemical properties. Their...

1. (a) Is ammonia more dense or less dense than air? (b) What property of ammonia is demonstrated by the Fountain Experiment? (c) Write the balanced equation for the reaction between ammonia and sulphuric acid. 2. Pick the odd member from the list giving reasons: (a) Ammonia, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide. (b) Copper oxide, aluminium oxide, sodium oxide, magnesium oxide. 3. Give reasons for the following : (a) Liquid ammonia is used as a refrigerant in ice plants. (b) Aqueous solution of ammonia is used for removing grease stains from woollen clothes. (c) Aqueous solution of ammonia gives a pungent smell. (d) Aqueous solution of ammonia conducts electricity.

(1) (a) ammonia is less dense than air (b) solubility in water (c) 2NH3 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4 (2) (a) Ammonia → because - NH3 is basic while, SO2,HCl and CO2 are acidic oxides. (b) CuO,...

Explain the reducing nature of hydrogen with chemical reactions.

Dihydrogen reduces oxides and ions of some metals that are less reactive than iron, to the corresponding number of halogen metals at moderate temperature. e.g. i. CuO(s) + H2(g) → Cu(s) +...
