Question:

Among the following, which is the correct statement?

Show Hint

Electron-precise hydrides are formed by elements in group 14 because they have four valence electrons and form stable bonds with these electrons.
Updated On: May 14, 2025
  • Saline hydrides react slowly with water
  • All elements of group 14 form electron-precise hydrides
  • BaCl\(_2\).2H\(_2\)O has hydrogen bonded water
  • Density of ice is more than that of water

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

- Saline hydrides are known to react quickly with water, not slowly. Hence, option (1) is incorrect.
- Group 14 elements (e.g., Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) form electron-precise hydrides, making option (2) correct.
- BaCl\(_2\).2H\(_2\)O involves water of crystallization, not hydrogen-bonded water. Hence, option (3) is incorrect.
- The density of ice is less than that of water, not more, making option (4) incorrect.
