Thermal stability of compound is directly proportional to large anion of s-block elements:
T.S ∝ 1/ (PP of cation)
And p.p. ∝ charge ∝ 1/size, So, [T.S. ∝ size ∝ 1/ (charge)]
So, Sr [NO? ]? is highly stable
But Mg (NO? )? ⇒ poor

i. Zn + 2NaOH → Na? ZnO? + H?
ii. 4Au + 8NaCN + O? + 2H? O → 4Na [Au (CN)? ]+ 4NaOH
iii. Cu + 4HNO? → Cu (NO? )? + 2NO? + 2H? O
(conc.)

Ca plays important role in Neuromuscular function and interneuronal transmission. The daily requirement of Mg and Ca in the human body is estimated to be 200 – 300mg. All enzymes that utilise ATP in phosphate transfer require Mg as the cofactor. The bone in human body is NOT an inert and unchanging substance.

No. of atoms in Hexagonal primitive unit cell = 6
No. of Tetrahedral voids = 2 * No. of atoms per unit cell
= 2 * 6 = 12
No. of Octahedral voids = No. of atoms per unit cell = 6
