Question
Chapter 23, Problem 31QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The conditions under which sodium and potassium form
Concept introduction:
Alkalides are alkali metals which act as anions. They bear a negative charge on them. For eg Na-, K- Rb−, and Cs−
Alkalides are very reactive and labile.
They act as strong reducing agents.

4. The common oxidation number for an alkaline earth metal is +2.
(a) Using the Born-Mayer equation (for determining the lattice enthalpy) and a Born-Haber
cycle (draw it), show that CaCl is an exothermic compound (negative AHf). Make a
reasonable prediction to estimate the ionic radius of Ca (explain your reasoning). The
sublimation (atomization) enthalpy for Ca(s) is 178 kJ/mol.
(b) Show that an explanation for the non-existence of CaCl can be found in the enthalpy
change for the reaction below. The AHf for CaCl2(s) is -190.2 kcal/mol.
2 CaCl(s) → Ca(s) + CaCl2(s)
Why does the ionization enthalpy gradually decreases in a group?
