Arrange the following : (i) and 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, and in order of increasing reducing property.
Solution:
(i) is significantly covalent, is ionic and is metallic hydride. Hence, increasing electrical conductance : < < (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. and are covalent hydrides but OH bond in is more stronger. Hence, increasing reducing power : H2O < < NaH.
