Chapter 8, Problem 8.81QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The trend in reactivity from Li to Cs has to be explained. Also, the reason for the same has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The tendency of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction with itself or with other elements is known as reactivity. More the reactivity of an element, lower will be its stability and vice-versa.

2)Why did the observed chemistry of thallium mislead Mendelev to place the group 13 element (Tl) in a group with Li ,Na, K ,Rb ,and Cs ?
Before the element scandium was discovered in 1879, it was known as “eka-boron." Predict the properties of scan- dium from averages of the corresponding properties of its neighboring elements in the periodic table. Compare your predictions with the observed values in Appendix F. Melting Boiling Point Density (g cm-3) Point Element Symbol (°C) (°C) Calcium Ca 839 1484 1.55 Titanium Ti 1660 3287 4.50 Scandium Sc ? ?
Consider the elements in Column 15 in the periodic table, with nitrogen at the top (2nd period) and bismuth in the 6th period. a) How would you expect the oxides of these elements to react with water? b) Applying the analogous concepts of metallic versus non-metallic character, would the oxides of N produce an acidic or basic solution in water? What about an oxide of Bi?
