Short Answer TypeWrite two properties of lithium carbonate in which it differs from other alkali metal carbonates.
Why is LiF almost insoluble in water whereas LiCl in soluble not only in water but also in acetone?
How would you explain that the following observations?
LiI is more soluble than KI in ethanol?
Long Answer TypeExplain: Lithium exhibits anamalous behaviour in the company of alkali metals.
Or
Name the chief factor responsible for the anomalous behaviour of lithium.
Or
List three properties of lithium in which it differs from the rest of the alkali metals.
Short Answer TypeHow will you explain the reactivity of alkali metals with halogens ?
Alkali metals combine with halogens to form metal halides, which are ionic crystalline solids having general formula M+X–.
Reactivity of alkali metals with particular halogen increases from Li to Cs. On the other hand, the reactivity of halogens with particular alkali metal M decreases from F2 to I2.
Long Answer TypeIn what ways lithium shows similarities to magnesium in its chemical behaviour?
Or
List four properties to show the diagonal relationship between lithium and magnesium.
