Which of the following statement is incorrect?
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
Options
- ALow solubility of in water is due to its small hydration enthalpy.
- B is paramagnetic.
- CSolution of sodium in liquid ammonia is conducting in nature.
- DSodium metal has higher density than potassium metal
Correct answer
A. Low solubility of in water is due to its small hydration enthalpy.
Step-by-step solution
Due to the small size of ion and ions, the lattice energy of is very high. is covalent in nature. Therefore, is insoluble in water.
has unpaired electron in of . Therefore, it is Paramagnetic.
Lithium has lesser atomic weight than sodium. So, lithium has lesser density than sodium. But in the case of '' and '', -orbitals present in Potassium, which increases the volume of ''.
Solution of sodium in liquid ammonia is conducting in nature, due to presence of free electron.
