Correct Option: A

Which of the following metals can form nitride with nitrogen ?

  1. $Li$

  2. $Na$

  3. $Mg$

  4. $Ca$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lithium is the only alkali metal which combines directly with nitrigen to form lithium nitride.


$Li _{(s)}+N _{2(g)}\longrightarrow 2Li _3N _{(s)}$


As lithium is the smallest alkali metal, $Li^+$ will have the highest positive charge density.

As nitride $(N^{3-})$ ion is an extremely small highly charged anion, it forms stable ionic compound with cations of high positive charge density, i.e. $Li^{+}$.

The products obtained on heating $LiNO _3$ will be?

  1. $LiNO _2+O _2$

  2. $Li _2O+NO _2+O _2$

  3. $Li _3N+O _2$

  4. $Li _2O+NO+O _2$


Correct Option: B

Which elements does not combine directly with nitrogen at high temperature?

  1. Li

  2. Rb

  3. Sr

  4. Mg


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Only $Rb$ does not combine with $N _2$ at high temperature. Because heavier metals like $Rb$ are seen to be chemically inactive towards $N _2$ upon heating.


Since the nitride ion holds a high formal charge $(N^{3-})$ and contains an adverse molar ration of cations to anions $(3:1)$ 

it is impossible to form a stable structure. But alkali metal $Li$ can react with $N _2$ at room temperature. $Sr$ and $Mg$ can react with $N _2$ at high temperature.

So, the correct option is $Rb$

Which of the following on heating gives oxides quickly ?

  2. ${ K } _{ 2 }{ CO } _{ 3 }$

  3. ${ Li } _{ 2 }{ CO } _{ 3 }$

  4. ${ Rb } _{ 2 }{ CO } _{ 3 }$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$N{a _2}C{O _3} \to state\,\,than\,\,L{i _2}C{O _3}$

${K _2}C{O _3}$ and $R{b _2}C{O _3}$
Stablitiy of carbaonate $ \uparrow $ down the gap or size $ \uparrow    CO _3^{2 - } $ more stable.
$L{i _2}C{o _3} \to L{i _2}O + C{o _2}$.
Hence, option $C$ is correct answer.

Li resembles to element X which is not the member of alkali metals. The group of X is?

  1. II

  2. III

  3. IV

  4. I


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Li resembles to element X which is not a member of alkali metals. The group of X must be II group, because certain elements of 2nd period show similarity with their diagonal elements in the 3rd period as shown below : Thus, Li resembles Mg, Be resembles Al and B resembles Si. This is called diagonal relationship and is due to the reason that these pairs of element have almost identical ionic radii and polarizing power (i.e. charge/size ratio). Element of second period are known as bridge elements.

So Li is I st group element and the diagonal element Mg is II nd group element.
Hence option A is correct.

Li resembles to element X which is not the member of alkali metals.
The element X is :

  1. Mg

  2. Be

  3. Ca

  4. B


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Li resembles to element X which is not the member of alkali metals. The element X is Mg. This is due to diagonal relationship. Certain elements of 2nd period show similarity with their diagonal elements in the 3rd period as shown below : Thus, Li resembles Mg, Be resembles Al and B resembles Si. 


This is called diagonal relationship and is due to the reason that these pairs of element have almost identical ionic radii and polarizing power (i.e. charge/size ratio). Element of second period are known as bridge elements.   
Hence option A is correct.

Which of the following pairs shows diagonal relationship?

  1. $Na$ and $Mg$

  2. $Li$ and $Mg$

  3. $Li$ and $Na$

  4. $Al$ and $C$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A diagonal relationship is said to exist between certain pairs of diagonally adjacent elements in the second and third periods of the periodic table. Thus, $Li$ and $Mg$ are diagonally related.

Diagonal relationship is due to:

  1. identical ionization potential

  2. identical electron negativity

  3. identical sizes of ions

  4. same valence shell configuration


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Option $(C)$ is correct.

The diagonal relationship is due to identical sizes of ions.
On moving rightward a period of the periodic table, the size of the atoms decreases, and on moving down a group the size of the atoms increases. Similarly, on moving rightward a period, the elements become more electronegative, whereas on moving down the group the element becomes more positive. These two factors work in opposite direction. Hence the elements that are present diagonally to each other have similar properties like atomic size, electronegativity, density, chemical properties of compounds.

  1. $0.916$

  2. $1.832$

  3. $0.544$

  4. $1.088$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation is:

$2LiOH+C{ O } _{ 2 }\rightarrow { Li } _{ 2 }C{ O } _{ 3 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O$
Molecular weight of each specie is:
$LiOH$=24 g/mol; $C{ O } _{ 2 }$=44 g/mol; ${ Li } _{ 2 }C{ O } _{ 3 }$= 74 g/mol; ${ H } _{ 2 }O$=18 g/mol
From the reaction:
2 mol of $LiOH$ ($24\times2=48\ g$) consumes 1 mol of $CO _2$ (44 g)
Therefore, 1 g of $LiOH$ will consume $\frac { 1 }{ 48 } \times 44\quad g\quad C{ O } _{ 2 }=0.916\ g\ CO _2$
Option A is the correct answer.

Diagonal relationship of elements in due to same:

  1. size

  2. mass number

  3. atomic number

  4. electron affinity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
In addition to horizontal and vertical trends, there is a diagonal relationship between elements such as Li and Mg, Be and Al, B, and Si, that have an adjacent upper left/lower right relative location in the periodic table. 
These pairs of elements have similar size and electronegativity, resulting in similar properties. 

Diagonal relationships occur because of the directions in the trends of various properties as you move across or down the periodic table. Many of the chemical properties of an element are related to the size of the atom. Hence it is because of the same size.
