Chemistry Question on p -Block Elements
Select correct statement(s).
A
Cyanamide ion (CN22−) iselectronicwith CO_2$, and has the same linear structure
B
Mg2C3 reacts with water to form propyne
C
CaC2 has NaCl type lattice
D
All of the above
Answer
All of the above
Explanation
Solution
Thus, CN22− and CO2 both are isoelectronic and isostructural. (b) Mg2C3+H2O⟶propyneCH3−C≡CH+Mg(OH)2 (c) Ca2+C22− has NaCl type latice.
