[C] CaCl2.6H2O
[D] SrCl2.4H2O
Answer: A, C
(7) Choose the correct statements from the following.
[A] Beryllium is not readily attacked by acids because of the presence of an oxide film on the surface of the metal.
[B] Beryllium sulphate is readily soluble in water as the greater hydration enthalpy of Be2+ overcomes the lattice enthalpy factor.
[C] Beryllium exhibits coordination number more than four.
[D] Beryllium oxide is purely acidic in nature.
Answer: A, B
(8) Which of the following are the correct reasons for anomalous behaviour of lithium?
[A] Exceptionally small size of its atom
[B] Its high polarising power
[C] It has high degree of hydration
[D] Exceptionally low ionisation enthalpy
Answer: A, B
(9) Assertion (A): The carbonate of lithium decomposes easily on heating to form lithium oxide and CO2.

Reason (R) : Lithium being very small in size polarises large carbonate ion leading to the formation of more stable Li2O and CO2.

[A] Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
[B] Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
[C] Both A and R are not correct
[D] A is not correct but R is correct.
Answer: Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(10) Assertion (A): Beryllium carbonate is kept in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide.

Reason (R) : Beryllium carbonate is unstable and decomposes to give beryllium oxide and carbon dioxide.

[A] Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
[B] Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
[C] Both A and R are not correct.
[D] A is not correct but R is correct.
Answer: Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(11) Find the incorrect trend for alkaline earth metals
[A] atomic size Be < Mg < Ca < Sr
