Two elements A and B have similar chemical properties.

Question:

Two elements A and B have similar chemical properties. They don't form solid hydrogencarbonates, but react with nitrogen to form nitrides. A and B, respectively, are :

  1. $\mathrm{Na}$ and $\mathrm{Rb}$

  2. $\mathrm{Na}$ and $\mathrm{Ca}$

  3. $\mathrm{Cs}$ and $\mathrm{Ba}$

  4.  Li and Mg


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

 $\mathrm{Li}$ and $\mathrm{Mg}$ do not form solid bicarbonate, but react with $\mathrm{N}_{2}$ to give nitrides.

$6 \mathrm{Li}+\mathrm{N}_{2} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{Li}_{3} \mathrm{~N}$

$3 \mathrm{Mg}+\mathrm{N}_{2} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Mg}_{3} \mathrm{~N}_{2}$
