Assertion (A): Li+{Li}^{+}forms series of trihydrates LiX⋅3H2O[X=Cl,Br,I,ClO2,ClO4,MnO4,NO3,BF4){LiX} \cdot 3 {H}_2 {O}\left[X={Cl}, {Br}, {I}, {ClO}_2, {ClO}_4, {MnO}_4, {NO}_3, {BF}_4\right)

Reason (R) : This is due to its smaller size (Li+)\left({Li}^{+}\right)and highest ion dipole interaction.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true and R\mathbf{R} is the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}.
Option A is correct because both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains why Lithium forms trihydrates due to its small size and high ion-dipole interaction.

Which of the following metals can be extracted through alkali leaching technique?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Sn\mathrm{Sn}
Option A (Sn\mathrm{Sn}) is correct because tin (Sn\mathrm{Sn}) can be extracted using alkali leaching, where it reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a soluble stannate complex.

Metallic hydride among the following is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
CrH
Option C (CrH) is correct because metallic hydrides are formed by d-block and f-block elements, and Cr (Chromium) is a d-block element.
124 Easy

A sudden large jump between the values of second and third ionization energies of an element would be associated with the electronic configuration:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
1s2,2s22p6,3s21{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}
Option D (1s2,2s22p6,3s21{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}) is correct because removing the third electron requires significantly more energy as it involves removing an electron from a stable, completely filled noble gas configuration.
125 Easy

The alkali metal that reacts with nitrogen directly to form nitride is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
LiLi
Option A (LiLi) is correct because Lithium is the only alkali metal that directly reacts with nitrogen to form a nitride.
126 Easy

Assertion (A) : Lime water turns milky when the gas liberated from an acidified carbonate solution is passed into it.

Reason (R): The liberated CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 reacts with lime water to give calcium bicarbonate as the precipitate.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A\mathbf{A} is true but R\mathbf{R} is false.
Option C (A\mathbf{A} is true but R\mathbf{R} is false) is correct because while lime water does turn milky with CO2, the product is calcium carbonate, not calcium bicarbonate.
127 Easy

Understanding +4 | -1
Which of the following cations cannot be
detected by the flame test?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Mg2+Mg^{2+}
Option D (Mg2+Mg^{2+}) is correct because magnesium ions do not impart color to the flame in a flame test.
128 Easy

Element found in plant systems which forms an important constituent of photosynthesis is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Mg\mathrm{Mg}
Option D (Mg\mathrm{Mg}) is correct because magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis.
129 Easy

Which of the following is known as fusion mixture
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Mixture of K2CO3 +Na2CO3{K_2}C{O_3}\, + N{a_2}C{O_3}
Option C (Mixture of K2CO3+Na2CO3\mathrm{K_2CO_3} + \mathrm{Na_2CO_3}) is correct because a fusion mixture is defined as a mixture of potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate.

Flash bulbs contain wire or foil of Mg packed in an atmosphere of:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
O2{\mathrm{O}_2}
Option B (O2{\mathrm{O}_2}) is correct because magnesium reacts vigorously with oxygen to produce light in flash bulbs.
133 Easy

The most basic oxide among the following is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Na2O\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{a}_2}\mathrm{O}
Option A (Na2O\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{a}_2}\mathrm{O}) is correct because oxides of alkali metals are generally more basic than oxides of alkaline earth metals, metalloids, or amphoteric oxides.

Baking soda is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHC}{\mathrm{O}_3}
Option A (NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}) is correct because baking soda is the common name for sodium bicarbonate, which has the chemical formula NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}.

The alkali metal which forms only the monoxide is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Li\mathrm{Li}
Option D (Li) is correct because Lithium (Li) is the only alkali metal that primarily forms the monoxide (Li2O\mathrm{Li}_2\mathrm{O}) due to its small size and high polarizing power.
136 Easy

Remembering +4 | -1
The metal that gives mainly a monoxide when heated in excess of O2{O_2} is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
LiLi
Option D (LiLi) is correct because lithium reacts with oxygen to form mainly lithium monoxide (Li2OLi_2O).

In Down’s method for the extraction of sodium, the melting point of the electrolyte is lowered by adding
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both calcium chloride and potassium fluoride
Option C (Both calcium chloride and potassium fluoride) is correct because the addition of both CaCl2CaCl_2 and KF lowers the melting point of NaCl in Down's process.
