Ques: In NO3- ion, the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on nitrogen atom are

(a) 2, 2 

(b) 3, 1 

(c) 1,3 

(d) 4, 0

Sol: (d) In N-atom, numbers of valence electron = 5.

Due to the presence of 1 negative charge on nitrate ion, number of valence electrons = 5 + 1 = 6. One Oxygen- atom forms two bonds (= bond) and two O-atom are shared with two electrons of N-atom.

Thus, 3 Oxygen-atoms are shared with 8 electrons of N-atom.

Number of bond pairs (or shared pairs) = 4.

N umber of lone pairs = 0.

Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium || Relation between Beryllium and Aluminium

-
  Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below: » Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid. » Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4] » The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts. » Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (BeF4)2

                    INTRODUCTION : The s- block elements of the periodic table are those in which the last electron enters  into the outermost s-orbital. As the s-orbital can accommodate only two electrons, in two group (1 & 2) belong to the s-block of the periodic table. Group 1 of the periodic table consists of the elements : lithium (L i), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (R b), caesium (C s) and francium (F r). They are collectively known as alkali metals. These are called because they forms hydroxides on reaction with water which are strongly alkaline in nature. The elements of Group 2nd include beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (C a), strontium (S r), barium (B a) and radium (Ra). These elements with the exception of Beryllium are commonly known as the alkaline earth metals. These are so called because their oxide and hydroxide are alkaline in nature and these metal oxides are found in the earth’s crust . The general electronic configuration of s- block element is

                            Charge Charge is that property of an object by virtue of which it apply electrostatic force of interaction on other objects. Charges are of two types (i) Positive charge (+ve)  (ii) Negative charge (-ve)  Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.               Quantization of Charge Charge on any object can be an integer multiple of a smallest charge (e).                     Q = ± n e where, n = 1, 2, 3,……. and e = 1.6 * 10-19 C.                   Conservation of Charge Charge can neither be created nor be destroyed. but can be transferral from one object to another object. Recently a new particle has been discovered called ‘Quark’. It contains charge ± e / 3, ± 2e / 3. [The protons and neutrons are combination of other entities called quarks, which have charges 1 / 3 e. However, isolated quarks have not been observed, so, quantum of charge is still e. ]         Coulomb’s Law of Electrostatics Electrostatic force of interaction acting betwee
