f)name a metal which is lighter than water ?
Sodium
g) name a metal which is good conductor of electricity ?
Carbon
h)what are the two types of cokes?
Hard coke and soft coke
i)what is hard coke?
It is a light substance having lustre and is used industrial furnaces .
j)what is chemical name of bleaching powder ?
Bleaching powder is calcium oxychloride that is CaOCl2
SHORT QUESTION ANSWERS ( 10 * 2 = 20 MARKS )
2 a) justify that respiration involves both physical and chemical changes ?
During respiration we breathe O2 and exhale out CO2. This is a chemical change .At the same time lungs undergo expansion and contraction . this is an example of physical change .
b) what is synthesis?
It is a reaction in which a compound is formed by the union of two elements or simple compounds . It belongs to direct combination reaction .
c) define modern periodic table ?
It is the table or chart in which various elements have been arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers in such a manner that the elements having similar properties fall in the same vertical coloumn or group .
d) ) state what is observed when ammonium chloride is heated ?
On heating ammonium chloride it sublimes and when its vapour are condensed on the cooler surface to give white sublimate .
e) give four characterstics of rusting of iron ?
The four characterstics of rusting of iron are
i) It is a permanent change
ii) It is irreversible
iii) New product is formed
iv) Energy is evolved
f) give four characterstics of digestion of food ?
Four characterstics of digestion of food are
i) It is a permanent change
ii) It is irreversible
iii) New product is formed
iv) Energy is evolved
g)what is a reactant and a product ?
Reactant : In a reaction the substances which react with each other are called reactants
Products:In a reaction , the new substances which are produced as a result of reaction are called products .
h)show that there is no change in mass in a physical change ?
Take some ice in a test tube . cork it and weight it.now heat the test tube. Ice melts to give liquid water and again weight it.the weight remains unchanged.thus during physical change there is no change in mass .
i) state some uses of slaked lime ?
Slaked lime is used in :
i) The manufacture of bleaching powder
ii) In purification of sugar and coal gas
iii) Used for dehairing of hides
iv) For softening hard water
j) define efflorescence ?
The phenomenon due to which crystalline hydrated salts lose their water of crystallisation slowly to the air at room temperature forming a powdery residue is called efflorescence .
SECTION – B
VERY LONG QUESTION ANSWERS ( 8 * 5 = 40 MARKS )
QUE 1 )give three merits and two demerits of morden periodic table ?
ANS) Merits :
i) It has simplified the study of elements
ii) It is based upon atomic number which is based upon more fundamental property of an atom
iii) It relates to the position of an element to its electronic configuration
Demerits :
i) The position of hydrogen is not certain in the periodic table
ii) Lanthanides and actinides don’t find a proper position in the periodic table .
iii) A few elements are not arranged according to their electronic configuration .
QUE 2) explain why ionic compounds are soluble in water ? explain why ionic compounds have high boiling and melting points ?
ANS )Water is a polar compound having high dielectric constant value and therefore in water the attractive forces between the oppositely charged ions are very much decreased and hence ionic compounds are soluble in water .
Ionic compounds have high boiling and melting points beaceuse In ionic compounds there are strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions . Thus a large amount of energy is required to overcome the attractive forces
Que 3) define covalency ? write down two conditions for formation of covalent bonds ?
ANS) It is the number of electrons contributed by an atom of the element for mutual sharing during the formation of covalent bond . The two conditions for formation of covalent bonds are :
i) the combining atom should not have low ionisation energies
ii)the combining atoms should not have high electron affinities .
