2021-08-25 17:30:05 Notes on s-Block Elements:

Covalent Character:.

Small cation and large anion favors covalency.

Order: LiCl > NaCl > KCl > RbCl > CsCl & . LiI > LiBr > LiCl > LiF

Greater the charge on the cation greater is its polarizing power and hence larger is the covalent character: Na+CI- < Mg+2CI2 < AI+3 CI3

Greater the charge on the anion, more easily it gets polarized thereby imparting more covalent character to the compound formed eg covalent character increase in the order. NaCI < Na2SO4 < Na3PO4

c) Lattice Energies: Amount of energy required to separate one mole of solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions.

Greater the lattice energy, higher is the melting point of the alkali metals halide and lower is its solubility in water

d) Hydration Energy: Amount of energy released when one mole of gaseous ions combine with water to form hydrated ions.

M+ (g) + aq → M+ (aq) + hydration energy

X- (g) + aq → X- (aq) + hydration energy

Higher the hydration energy of the ions greater is the solubility of the compound in water.

The solubility of the most of alkali metal halides except those of fluorides decreases on descending the group since the decrease in hydration energy is more than the corresponding decrease in the lattice energy.

Due to high hydration energy of Li+ ion, Lithium halides are soluble in water except LiF which is sparingly soluble due to its high lattice energy.

For the same alkali metal the melting point decreases in the order

fluoride > chloride > bromide > iodide

For the same halide ion, the melting point of lithium halides are lower than those of the corresponding sodium halides and thereafter they decrease as we move down the group from Na to Cs.

The low melting point of LiCl (887 K) as compared to NaCl is probably because LiCl is covalent in nature and NaCl is ionic.

Anomalous Behavior of Lithium and diagonal relationship with Magnesium:

Li has anomalous properties due to

Very small size

High polarizing Power

Lithium show diagonal relationship with magnesium because both elements have almost same polarizing power.

The melting point and boiling point of lithium are comparatively high.

Lithium is much harder than the other alkali metals. Magnesium is also hard metal.

Lithium reacts with oxygen least readily to form normal oxide whereas other alkali metals form peroxides and superoxides.

LiOH like Mg (OH)2 is weak base. Hydroxides of other alkali metals are strong bases.

Due to their appreciable covalent nature, the halides and alkyls of lithum and magnesium are soluble in organic solvents.

Unlike elements of group 1 but like magnesium. Lithium forms nitride with nitrogen.6Li + N2 → 2Li3N

LiCl is deliquescent and crystallizes as a hydrate, LiCI2H2O. Other alkali metals do not form hydrates. also forms hydrate, MgCI2.8H2O .

Unlike other alkali metals lithium reacts directly with carbon to form an ionic carbide. Magnesium also forms a similar carbide.

The carbonates, hydroxides and nitrates of lithium as well as magnesium decompose on heating.
Li2CO3 → Li2O + CO2

MgCO3 → MgO + CO2

2LiOH → Li2O + H2O

Mg (OH)2 → MgO + H2O

4LiNO3 → 2Li2O + 4NO2 + O2

2Mg ( NO3)2 → 2Mg + 4NO2 +O2

The corresponding salts of other alkali metals are stable towards heat.
Lithium nitrate, on heating, decomposes to give lithium oxide, Li2O whereas other alkali metals nitrate decomposes to give the corresponding nitrite.

4LiNO3 → 2Li2O + 4NO2 + O2

2NaNO3 → 2NaNO2 + O2

2KNO3 → 2KNO2 + O2

Li2CO3, LiOH, LiF and Li3PO4 are the only alkali metal salts which are insoluble in water. The corresponding magnesium compounds are also insoluble in water.

Hydrogen carbonates of both lithium and magnesium can not be isolated in solid state. Hydrogen carbonates of other alkali metals can be isolated in solid state.

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH):
a. Properties

NaOH is stable towards heat but is reduced to metal when heated with carbon

2NaOH + 2C → 2Na +2CO + H2

FeCl3 + 3NaOH →Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl

NH4Cl + NaOH → NaCl + NH3 (pungent smell) + H2O Open / Comment

2021-08-21 20:04:12 Ohm’s Law

According to this law, the electric current flowing through a substance is proportional to the voltage across its ends. In most of the cases, the carriers of current are the electrons and the rest types are ionic crystals, negative ions, electrolytic liquid etc.

Drawbacks of Ohm’s Law
Every homogeneous conductor containing impurities obeys ohm’s law but there are certain drawbacks to it.

If V depends on I in a non- linear manner then the law fails.

The relation between I and V depends upon the sign of V for the same absolute value of V.

The relation between I and V is non- unique Open / Comment
