Instruction: In each set (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), identify the entity that satisfies the specified property. Select the example number corresponding to the correct entity, and your final Answer = Sum of the example numbers selected from all sets.
(a) Maximum inter-ionic distance (assuming similar crystal packing): 1 BeO, 2 MgO, 3 CaO, 4 SrO
(b) Maximum lattice energy: 1 NaF, 2 NaCl, 3 NaBr, 4 NaI
(c) Maximum stability of +2 ion: 1 Ga, 2 In, 3 Pb, 4 Sn
(d) Most stable halide: 1 BiF₅, 2 BiCl₅, 3 BiBr₅, 4 BiI₅
(e) Least solubility in water: 1 ZnSO₄, 2 MgSO₄, 3 BaSO₄, 4 CaSO₄
(f) Highest decomposition temp.: 1 MgCO₃, 2 Na₂CO₃, 3 Rb₂CO₃, 4 CaCO₃
Answer:
Solution:
Selections are (a) 4, (b) 1, (c) 3, (d) 1, (e) 3 and (f) 3.
Sum = 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 15.
