Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A rough sketch of the periodic table is to be drawnshowing the diagonal relationship between Li and Mg. Also, reactions of both these metals with oxygen and nitrogen and the comparison of solubilities of carbonates, fluorides, and sulfates are to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
In the periodic table, elements are arranged in order of their
Elements in the same group tend to exhibit the same chemical and physical properties.
Adiagonal relationshipexists between a few pairs of diagonally adjacent elements.
The major factor behind the diagonal relationship is the electron charge density around the metals.
Fluorides, carbonates, phosphates, and oxalates of alkali metals (Group 1) are soluble. While those of alkaline earth metals (Group 2) are insoluble.
