Arrange the following :
(i)C a H 2 , B e H 2 and T i H 2 in order of increasing electrical conductance.
(ii) LiH, NaH and CsH in order of increasing ionic character.
(iii) H – H, D – D and F – F in order of increasing bond dissociation enthalpy.
(iv) NaH,M g H 2 and H 2 O in order of increasing reducing property.
(i)
(ii) LiH, NaH and CsH in order of increasing ionic character.
(iii) H – H, D – D and F – F in order of increasing bond dissociation enthalpy.
(iv) NaH,
Solution:
(i) B e H 2 is significantly covalent, C a H 2 is ionic and T i H 2 is metallic hydride. Hence, increasing electrical conductance :
B e H 2 < C a H 2 < T i H 2
(ii) Electronegativity decreases as Li > Na > Cs. Thus, increasing ionic character : LiH < NaH < CsH.
(iii) Due to lone pairs of F, bond pairs experience repulsion, hence, F–F has low bond dissociation energy. In D–D, due to higher nuclear attraction bond dissociation energy is geater than H– H. Increasing bond dissociation enthalpy : F–F < H–H < D–D.
(iv) NaH is ionic hydride.M g H 2 and H 2 O are covalent hydrides but OH bond in H 2 O is more stronger. Hence, increasing reducing power :
H2O <M g H 2 < NaH.
(ii) Electronegativity decreases as Li > Na > Cs. Thus, increasing ionic character : LiH < NaH < CsH.
(iii) Due to lone pairs of F, bond pairs experience repulsion, hence, F–F has low bond dissociation energy. In D–D, due to higher nuclear attraction bond dissociation energy is geater than H– H. Increasing bond dissociation enthalpy : F–F < H–H < D–D.
(iv) NaH is ionic hydride.
