Which of the following statement is incorrect?

Which of the following statement is incorrect?

Options

  1. ALow solubility of LiFLiF in water is due to its small hydration enthalpy.
  2. BKO2{KO}_{2} is paramagnetic.
  3. CSolution of sodium in liquid ammonia is conducting in nature.
  4. DSodium metal has higher density than potassium metal

Correct answer

A. Low solubility of LiFLiF in water is due to its small hydration enthalpy.

Step-by-step solution

Due to the small size of Li+{Li}^{+} ion and F−{F}^{-}ions, the lattice energy of LiFLiF is very high. LiFLiF is covalent in nature. Therefore, LiFLiF is insoluble in water.

KO2{KO}_{2} has 11 unpaired electron in π⋆2pMolecularorbital{\pi}^{⋆}2pMolecularorbital of O2−{O}_{2}^{-} . Therefore, it is Paramagnetic.

Lithium has lesser atomic weight than sodium. So, lithium has lesser density than sodium. But in the case of 'KK' and 'NaNa', dd-orbitals present in Potassium, which increases the volume of 'KK'.

Solution of sodium in liquid ammonia is conducting in nature, due to presence of free electron.
