The lighter elements of Group I and II have distinctly different chemistry from their heavier congeners. For example, Be and Li

both have a strong tendency to form polymer-like structures with bridging atoms whereas the heavier elements do not. (a) What makes Be and Li different from the heavier group members? (b) What is the physical origin of the tendency towards polymerization for Be and Li complexes, and how can it be overcome?

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

(A) Heavier members of group 1A are usually more reactive than the lighter members e.g. lithium react very slowly with liquid bromine whereas CS  react violently.

Similarly Be of group 2A has smaller size, heavier member of this group show different colour in flame test but Be and Mg emit light when heated. Reactivity of group 2A metals decreases down the group

(B) In ethylene polymerization, the stronger catalytic action is shown by the alkyl of metal having less diameter e.g Be, Li etc.

A lithium alkyl in a hydrocarbon solvent is stereospecific catalyst for polymerisation of isoprene

The reactivity of metals on the periodic table
kari74 [83]

Explanation:

The most reactive metals are found on the left of the periodic table, in the blue column, known as the alkali metals. Their reactivity increases as we go down column (group) one. Reactive metals, when attached to less reactive metals, have the ability to prevent the less reactive metal from rusting.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Mass of Ca in sample, Mass of Br in sample, Number of moles of Ca in sample, Number of moles of Br in sample, Mass or moles of element other than Ca or Br in sample

Explanation:

The AP Classroom will not count your answer to this question as correct unless it includes at least one of the answers listed above. If you say that theanswer to this question is density, it will be marked as incorrect, I found that out the hard way when I used the answers that brainly gave me.

Good luck,

I applaud you for using the sources avalible to you, which is /definetly not/ cheeting.
