VERY SHORT QUESTIONS ( 1 X 13 = 26 MARKS )

1) Define a proton?
Ans: It is a fundamental particle of an atom having one unit of positive charge and mass .

2) What is the significance of valence shell?
Ans: The outermost shell of electrons of an atom is called valence shell .

3) Define isotopes?
Ans: The atoms of the same element having same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isotopes.

4) Explain the term isobars?
Ans: The atoms of different elements having different atomic numbers but same mass numbers are called isobars .

5) What do you understand by the term covalency?
Ans: It is the number of electrons contributed by an atom of the element for mutual sharing during the formation of covalent bond .

6) Name two sources of hydrogen in nature?
Ans: Water and natural gas are the two sources of hydrogen in nature.

7) State what is observed when ammonium chloride is heated ?
Ans: On heating ammonium chloride it sublimes and when its vapour are condensed on the cooler surface to give white sublimate .

8) Give one disadvantage of Sicilian process ?
Ans: The yield of sulphur is low

9) Explain one reason why diamond is hard ?
Ans: It is because of strong carbon- carbon covalent bonds .

10) Name the four verities of coal ?
Ans: The four varieties of coal are  peat ,lignite ,bituminous coal and anthracite coal .

 11) What would you observe when zinc carbonate is heated in a test tube and the test tube is allowed to cool ?
Ans: when zinc carbonate is heated a yellow residue is obtained which on cooling becomes white and colourless, odourless gas is evolved which turns freshly prepared lime water milky .

12) Give 3 examples in each case

ii) reducing agents
Ans: Oxidising agents : red lead , potassium permanganate , manganese dioxide
Reducing agents:carbon , zinc, hydrogen iodide, hydrogen sulphide

13) Define ionic bond?
Ans: It is the chemical bond formed between two different atoms by the transfer of one or more electrons from the valence shell of one atom to the other.

Section-B
SHORT QUESTIONS ( 5X 6 = 30 MARKS )

14) Define nitrogen cycle?
Ans:It is the process of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds by natural or artificial methods and the conversion of these nitrogenous compounds back to free nitrogen in air or atmosphere.

d) spring water
e) sea water

18) Define octet rule?
Ans:The tendency of an atom of an element to have eight electrons in its outermost orbit in order to acquire the stable nearest noble gas configuration is called octet rule.

19) Define hydrogenation?
Ans:The addition of hydrogen to organic compounds in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel , platinum , etc is called hydrogenation .

SECTION B
LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS ( 8 X3 = 24 MARKS )

22) Define matter. What are the different states of matter? What are the characteristics of matter?
ANS )Matter may be defined as anything which occupies space,has mass and can be judged by any one or more of the five senses.for example copper,silver,milk,oxygen etc. There are three different states of matter. These are solid,liquid and gas.The characteristics of matter are :
i) Mass : It represents the quantity of matter
ii) Volume : It represents the space occupied by matter
iii) Perception by physical senses : The matter can be felt or perceived by any one or more of the five senses such as touch , hearing , sight etc .
iv) Weight:  It represents the pull of gravity on the matter and it can be determined with the help of a spring balance .

 23) Fill in the blanks :

ANS ) i) Group
ii) Zero
iii) Uncertain
iv) Decreases
v) Atomic number

ANS ) Mandeleev’s Periodic Table :
i) The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weights
ii) It has 8 vertical columns called groups
iii) Each group is divided into two subgroups
iv) It does not contain noble gases

Long Form Periodic Table

ii) It has 18 vertical columns called groups
iii) There is no further division of the group
iv) It includes noble gasses

25 ) Define efflorescence and what is efflorescent substances?
ANS ) The phenomenon due to which crystalline hydrated salts lose their water of crystallisation slowly to air  at room temperature forming a powdery residue is called efflorescence and the hydrated crystalline salts which lose their water of crystallisation to air slowly at room temperature when exposed to dry air even form a short time forming powdered amorphous substances are called efflorescent substances.
