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
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option isB
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.
