•
Quotation relevant to the topic can also be added here.
METALS & NON METALS
METALS AND NON
METALS
F. ANSWER
THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN DETAIL.
1. Compare the physical properties of
metals and non-metals.
|
s.no.
|
metals
|
Non-metals
|
|
1.
|
Metals are good conductors of heat and
electricity
|
They are not good conductors of heat
and electricity
|
|
2.
|
They are hard, shiny, can be beaten
into sheets, drawn into wires
|
They are brittle, dull, cannot beaten
into sheets, drawn into wires
|
|
3.
|
Normally they are solids at room
temperature
|
They exist as solid and gases at room
temperature.
|
|
4.
|
They are very strong and hard
|
Not as hard as metals.
|
|
5.
|
They produce sound
|
They do not produce ringing sound.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Why is gold used for making
jewellery?
Gold has
lustreand is considered to be the most
malleable metal. i.e. it can be beaten into thin sheets (malleability) to
create a number of designs in bangles, chains etc.
Because it
is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
4. Metal oxides are basic oxides.
Explain with an example.
When metal
oxides dissolve in water, they form bases which turn red litmus blue. E.g.
Sodium oxide dissolve in water to
form sodium hydroxide.
Sodium oxide + water sodium hydroxide
Na2O + H2O
--àNaOH
5.
Why is sodium metal stored under
kerosene?
Sodium is one of the most reactive metal. It reacts vigorously with the
oxygen present in air at room temperature to form sodium oxide. So, it is kept
in kerosene.
6
& 7. Define displacement reaction
with the help of an example.
Write the chemical reaction involved.
A chemical reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less
reactive metal from its salt solution is called as displacement reaction.
e.g. when an iron nail is put in copper sulphate solution, the colour of
the solution changes from blue to light green and a reddish brown coating of
copper is seen on the iron nail.
It is because iron which is a more reactive metal displaces a less
reactive metal copper from copper sulphate solution.
Copper sulphate + iron --à iron sulphate + copper
CuSO4 + Fe
à
FeSO4 + Cu
8. What happens when a metal reacts
with dilute acid? Explain with an e.g.
Metals react with dilute acids
form a salt and hydrogen gas.
Sodium + dil. Hydrochloric acid àsodium chloride + Hydrogen
2Na + 2 HClà 2NaCl + H2
9. Why do copper vessels develop a
greenish layer when exposed to moist air?
Copper vessels develop a greenish coating of copper carbonate on exposure
to air.
10. list few uses of metals and non
metals.
p.no. 46 & 47
EXTRA QUESTIONS:
1. a.Metals that are in liquid state: Mercury
& Gallium
b.Soft metals :Sodium & Potassium
c.Non-metal that exists as a liquid :Bromine
d.Hardest non metal:
diamond
e.Non- metals that have
lustre: Graphite, diamond & iodine
f. Metals which do not conduct heat
& electricity: Lead &Tungsten
g. Non-metal that is a good conductor of
heat & electricity : graphite
h. Metal used in thermometer: Mercury
2.
What is metal reactivity series?
The arrangement of
metals according to their reactivity is called as metal reactivity series.
Metals have been arranged in a vertical order with the most
reactive metal at the top and the least reactive metal at the bottom.
3.
What do you mean by galvanization?
What is its use?
Coating of iron or steel
with a layer of Zinc is known as galvanization. It is used to prevent the metal
from rusting.
4.
What is rusting? Mention the factors
that cause rusting?
The formation of reddish
brown coat on iron objects on exposure to moist air is known as rusting.
Atmospheric Oxygen and moisture are the two factors that cause rusting.
5.
What is an alloy?
Alloy is the mixture of 2
or more than 2 metals
Or
Metal and a non-metal
e.g. brass is a mixture
of copper & zinc
