Question

property of S block element

Answer 1

In general, they are shiny, silvery, good conductors of heat and electricity and lose their valence electrons easily. In fact, they lose their trademark s orbital valence electrons so easily that the s-block elements are considered to be some of the most reactive elements on the periodic table.

Answer 2

Hey !!

                PROPERTIES OF S-BLOCK

• They all are metals, malleable, ductile and good conductor of heat and electricity.
• They show low ionisation potential.
• They are soft metals (due to weak metallic bond) and have low melting and boiling points.
• They are highly electropositive. They are powerful reducing agent, hence cannot be prepared by reduction. These are prepared by electrolysis of their salts in fused or molten state.
• Except Li and Be they form ionic compound (because of small size of Li and Be form covalent compounds according to Fajan's Rule)
• The ionic nature of compounds increase from top to bottom.
• Elements of IA form monovalent cation while that of IIA form divalent cation. By the loss of electrons from their outermost shell.
• They do not show variable oxidation state.
• Due to high reactivity, alkali metals and stored under liquid are coloured.
• They form hydrides with hydrogen.
• Of all these elements, only hydrogen is a non-metallic gas.

GOOD LUCK !!
