Explain why ?
The crystalline salts of alkaline earth metals contain more water of crystallisation than the corresponding alkali metal salts.

Dr.Sharma , cardiologist suggested his patienta to take more potassium ions for healthy heart. potassium ions are the most abundant cations within cell fluids, where they activate many enzymes, participate in the oxidation of glucose to pro duse ATP While sodiun ions are responsible for the transmission for nerve signals. It  intake of potassium , harmful for our body?

Give the reson for following Potassium carbonate cannot be prepared by Solvay ammonia process.

Reema takes milk every day . She also take curd and other milk products.She takes green leafy vegitables and fruits also. An adult body contains about 25g of magnesium and 1200 g of calcium and 5 g of iron .these elements must be a part of our diet. All enzymes that utilize ATP in phosphate transfer required magnesium as co-factor. the main pigment for the absorption of light in plants is chlorophyll, which contains magnesium. were as Anita does not like milk and takes lot of junk food.

Why should we take green leafy vegitables in our dite?

Why is the density of potassium less than sodium ?

Why are alkali metals soft and have low melting points ?

Starting with sodium chloride how would you proceed to prepare? Sodium carbonate.

Explain the significance of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium in biological fluids.

State Alkali metals show only +1 oxidation state Why?

State Na and K impart colour to the flame but Mg does not Why
