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
