s - block Elements (Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals)
The lightest metal among the following is:
Alkaline earth metals are better reducing agents than alkali metals.
Alkali metals because of their more electronegative standard electrode potential are better reducing agents than alkaline earth metals.
Hence, the given statement is False.
The lightest metal among the following is:
Size of hydrated ion of $$Li^+ and Be^{2+} $$ is :
Compare the solubility and thermal stability of alkali metals carbonates with those of the alkaline earth metals nitrates.

The correct order of solubility of the following compound in water is:
Compare the solubility and thermal stability of the following compounds of the alkali metals with those of the alkaline earth metals. (a) Nitrates, (b) Carbonates, (c) Sulphates.
The hydroxides and carbonates of sodium and potassium are easily soluble in water while the corresponding salts of magnesium and calcium are sparingly soluble in water. Explain?
$$CaCl_2$$ is preferred over $$NaCl$$ for clearing ice on roads on particularly in very cold countries. This is because:
Which of the following groups of elements have chemical properties that are most similar :
If $$X$$ and $$Y$$ are the second ionisation potentials of alkali and alkaline earth metals of same period, then :
