Paragraph Type :
Paragraph for question nos. Q.22 to Q.24
The s-Block of the periodic table constitutes Group-1 (alkali metals) and Group-2 (alkaline earth metals).
They are so called because their oxides and hydroxides are alkaline in nature.
The alkali metals are silvery white, soft and low melting. They are highly reactive. The compounds of
alkali metals are predominantly ionic. Their oxides and hydroxides are soluble in water forming strong
alkalies.
The chemistry of alkaline earth metals is very much like that of the alkali metals. However, some differences
arise because of reduced atomic and ionic sizes and increased cationic charges in case of alkaline earth
metals. Their oxides and hydroxides are less basic than the alkali metal oxides and hydroxides.
