 whatever may be Its speed i.e., we can locate both Its exact position
as well as direction. However it is not possible to do so in case
of a moving microscopic particle such as electron. In fact we cannot
see any such particle withoutdisturbing it. This has been stated by
Heisenberg in the form of uncertainty principle. This principle as
such has no significance in daily life since it applies to those
particles which we cannot see.
Answer the following questions:
a). State Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
b). If the uncertainty in the position of electron is zero, what is
uncertainty in its momentum ?

30. The elements of Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 2 (alkaline earth
metals) which have nsl and ns2 outermost electronic configuration
belong to the s-Block Elements. They are all reactive metals with
low ionization enthalpies. They lose the outermost electron(s) readily
to form 1+ ion (in the case of alkali metals) or 2+ ion (in the case
of alkaline earth metals). The metallic character and the reactivity
increaseas we go downthe group. Because of high reactivitythey
are never found pure in nature. The compounds of the s-block
elements, with the exception of those of lithium and beryllium are
predominantly ionic.
