Concentration solution of NH3 is water. Hydrogen bonding. Yellow flame. Yes NH3 + O2 N2 + H2O Hydrogen bonding. Haber process. NH3 has hydrogen bonding like water. Good dielectric constant. NH3 has a tendency to form H-bond which helps to dissolve organic substances whereas its relatively low dielectric constant then water makes it a poor solvent for ionic inorganic substances.

4 Cs > Rb > K > Na > Li When lithium is reacted with pure hydrogen lithium hydride is formed. Small size of lithium ion better balances hydride ion. Lithium charge to size ratio is very high as compared other alkali metal ion therefore this leads to covalent property in lithium compounds. NH4+, substituted ammonium ions, Ti+, Ag+, spherical + 1 complex (n5 C5H5)2Co+ Mg+2 Na3N does not exist at room temperature N3 has high ve charge & prefers covalent bonding which can only be developed by lithium ions among alkali metal ion. Due to small size of lithium ions the energy released by reaction of Li+ with water is greater than the energy needed to wides the crystal lattice. HClO4.3H2O (c) Li2CO3 is stable due to higher polarizing power of lithium. Hydration energy is greater then lattice energy. Due to anion hydrolysis.

Fe3+ = [Ar] 3d5 Q.792 The s- and p-block elements do not have a partially filled d-shell so there cannot be any d-d* transition. The energy to promote as s- or p-electron to a higher energy level is much greater and corresponds to ultraviolet light being absorbed. Thus compound will not be coloured. Hg2+ has all filled 5d orbitals (no unpaired electron is 5d), hence no d-d* transition, hence colourless. Sc(21) : [Ar] 3d! 4s2 Sc3+ : [Ar] 3d0 no unpaired electron in d-orbital, hence no (d-d*) transition hence colourless. Ti(22) : [Ar] 3d2 4s2 Ti3+ : [Ar] 3d1 due to unpaired electron in d-orbital (d-d*) transition possible hence coloured. Q.795 There is a steady decrease in the radii as the atomic number of the lanthanide element increases. It is because, for every additional proton in a nucleus, the corresponding electron goes into 4f shell which is too diffused to screen the nucleus as effectively as more localised inner shell. Hence the attraction of the nucleus for the outermost electrons increases steadily with the atomic number of the lanthanides. This contraction in size is quite regular. This is called Lanthanide Contraction.
