Aluminium reacts with caustic soda to form:
Aluminium reacts with caustic soda to form:
Updated On: May 12, 2022
- aluminium hydroxide
- aluminium oxide
- sodium meta-aluminate
- sodium tetra aluminate
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Aluminium reacts with caustic soda to form sodium meta aluminate.
$ 2Al + 2NaPH + 2H_2O \to \underset{\text{Sodium meta aluminate}}{2NaAlO_2} + 3H_2 \uparrow$
$ 2Al + 2NaPH + 2H_2O \to \underset{\text{Sodium meta aluminate}}{2NaAlO_2} + 3H_2 \uparrow$

Group 1 Elements
Group one of alkali metals is s-block elements with just one electron in their s-orbital. They are are alkali metals. They are named so because of the alkaline nature of the hydroxides and oxides.
Alkali metals are characterized by one s-electron in the valence shell of their atoms.
Alkali metals have a corresponding [Noble gas] ns1 electronic configuration. They occupy the first column of the periodic table. Alkali elements are:
- Lithium(Li)
- Sodium(Na)
- Potassium (K)
- Rubidium (Ru)
- Cesium (Cs)
- Francium (Fr)
They have occupied successive periods from first to seven. Francium is a radioactive element with very low half-life.
Electronic Configuration:
- Alkali metals have one electron in their valence shell.
- The electronic configuration is given by ns1. For example, the electronic configuration of lithium is given by 1ns1 2ns1.
- They tend to lose the outer shell electron to form cations with charge +1 (monovalent ions).
This makes them the most electropositive elements and due to the same reason, they are not found in the pure state.
