Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The oxide which is most ionic and most covalent in nature is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An oxide can be defined as a chemical compound which consists of at least one atom of oxygen and a metal element in its chemical formula.
Interpretation Introduction
(c)
Interpretation:
The oxide which is most acidic and most basic in nature is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An oxide can be defined as a chemical compound which consists of at least one atom of oxygen and a metal element in its chemical formula. Acidic oxides are those which when made to react with water forms acid and when made toreact with base forms the corresponding salt. Basic oxides are those which when made to react with water forms base and when made to react with acid forms the corresponding salt.
Interpretation Introduction
(d)
Interpretation:
The oxide that can react with both hydroxide and H+ ions is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A binary hydride is a chemical compound in which a given element is bonded to hydrogen and hydrogen atom acts as a more electronegative atom.
(a) The third row element with the largest first ionization energy.
(b) The Group 3A element with the largest first ionization energy.
(c) The Group 3A element with the largest atomic radius.
(a) One of the alkali metals reacts with oxygen to form a solidwhite substance. When this substance is dissolved in water,the solution gives a positive test for hydrogen peroxide, H2O2.When the solution is tested in a burner flame, a lilac-purpleflame is produced. What is the likely identity of the metal?(b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction ofthe white substance with water.
The Properties, Reactions and Applications of Oxygen
Explain the classification of oxides as basic, acid, amphoteric and neutral. How can we predict whether an oxide will be acidic or basic based on its composition?
Give an example of an amphoteric oxide and give two typical reactions
