Answer:

             Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

                  Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     NaCl

                                           Mg  +  Cl₂    →    MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 K  +  Cl₂    →     KCl

                                           Ca  +  Cl₂    →    CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Classify each substance as a strong acid, strong base, weak acid, or weak base. drag each item into the appropriate bin.
Zepler [3.9K]
Since you forgot to include the choices for classification, I would just define each of these and tell you the hints that would help you classify them.

Among these acids and bases, its is the strong acids and strong bases that are easily classified. You should note that there are only 7 strong acids existing. All the rest are weak acids. These 7 acids are: HCl, HBr, HI, HClO₃, HClO₄, HNO₃ and H₂SO₄. On the other hand, there are only 8 strong bases; the rest are weak bases. These are the hydroxides of the Group ! and !! metals: LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)₂, Sr(OH)₂, and Br(OH)₂.

For the weak acids and weak bases, just remember the definitions of Arrhenius, Lewis and Bronsted-Lowry. A weak base are those compounds that accept H⁺ protons, produce OH⁻ ions when solvated and an electron donor. A weak acid are those compounds that donate H⁺ protons, produce H⁺ ions when solvated and an electron acceptor.
