Which would you expect to have a higher melting point, magnesium oxide or magnesium fluoride? Explain your reasoning.

Which of the following oxides is most acidic in nature?

According to Fajan rules, the percentage covalent character in an ionic compound increases if the cation is highly charged or the cation is small and the anion is large or the cation has pseudo inert gas configuration. As a result of increased covalent character, the melting point decreases and solubility in less polar solvent increases. 

The highest lattice energy corresponds to

From the above sequence of reactions, identify P,Q,R and S

Select the basic anhydride?

In the given orders, correct ones are:-

(I) Thermal stability ${\mathrm{BeSO}}_4<{\mathrm{MgSO}}_4<{\mathrm{CaSO}}_4$
(II) Basic Nature   $\mathrm{ZnO}>\mathrm{BeO}>\mathrm{MgO}>\mathrm{CaO}$
(III) Solubility in water $\mathrm{LiOH}>\mathrm{NaOH}>\mathrm{KOH}>\mathrm{RbOH}$
(IV) Melting point $\mathrm{NaCl}>\mathrm{KCl}>\mathrm{RbCl}>\mathrm{CsCl}>\mathrm{LiCl}$

Study the following reaction:

$\mathrm{Metal} \mathrm{carbide}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\to \underset{(\mathrm{colourless} \mathrm{gas}, \mathrm{burns} \mathrm{readily} \mathrm{in} \mathrm{air})}{\mathrm{X}}\underset{{\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{OH}}{\overset{{\mathrm{Cu}}_2{\mathrm{Cl}}_2}{\to }} \underset{(\mathrm{Red} \mathrm{precipitate})}{\mathrm{Y}}$

The metal carbide is- 

 An alkaline earth metal carbide undergoes hydrolysis to form $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_4$. The metal carbide which can be used for this reaction is: 

A metal $\mathrm{M}$ readily forms water soluble sulphate ${\mathrm{MSO}}_4$, water insoluble hydroxide $\mathrm{M}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2$ and oxide $\mathrm{MO}$ which becomes inert on heating. The hydroxide is soluble in $\mathrm{NaOH}$. The metal is
