Question

similarity between lithium and magnesium

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Similarities between Lithium and Magnesium

Lithium and magnesium both form monoxides.

2Mg + O2  →  2MgO

They both react with nitrogen to form their nitrides respectively.

Li(s) + N2(g)  →  2Li3N(s)

They both react slowly with water. They form oxides and hydroxides which decompose on heating.

Mg(s) + 2H2O(g)  →  Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

Oxides of both the elements do not form super oxides.

The carbonates of both decompose on heating to form the oxides and carbon-dioxide.

2 Mg(s) + CO2   →  2MgO(s) + C(s)

Lithium chloride (LiCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) are both soluble in ethanol.

Both the elements are less stable towards heat.
