Question

Beryllium has less negative value of reduction potentials compared to other alkaline earth metals due to :

Options

A.the smaller hydration energy of the Be2+ .
B.the large value of the atomization enthalpy of the Be metal.
C.the large value of ionisation energy of the Be metal.
D.(B) and (C) both.

Solution

It can be understood by the fact that reduction potantial depends mainly on (i) enthalpy of atomization, (ii) ionization energy, (iii) hydration enthalpy, etc.
