Vedclass · Answer

(A) The ionic character of metal hydrides depends on the electronegativity difference between the metal and hydrogen,or alternatively,on the polarizing power of the cation.According to Fajan's rule,smaller cations have higher polarizing power,which increases the covalent character of the bond.As we move down the group $2$ ($Be$ to $Ba$),the size of the cation increases,and its polarizing power decreases.Therefore,the covalent character decreases and the ionic character increases down the group.The order of ionic character is $BeH_2 < CaH_2 < BaH_2$.

Column $(A)$	Column $(B)$
$(a)$ $BeO$	$(p)$ Amphoteric
$(b)$ $MgCO_3 \cdot CaCO_3$	$(q)$ Dolomite
$(c)$ $BeCl_2$	$(r)$ Covalent
$(d)$ $Al(OH)_3$	$(s)$ Basic

Among $CaH_2$,$BeH_2$,and $BaH_2$,the order of ionic character is:

The correct order of solubility of sulfates of $Be$ group elements in water is $Be > Mg > Ca > Sr > Ba$. The reason for this is ....

Consider the following statements:
Statement-$I$: Both $BeSO_4$ and $MgSO_4$ are readily soluble in water.
Statement-$II$: Among the nitrates of alkaline earth metals,only $Be(NO_3)_2$ on strong heating gives its oxide,$NO_2$,and $O_2$.
