CORE QUESTION-ANSWERS
vibrating. During the vibration they release energy as light. That is why metals are
generally lustrous.
Q7 Oxides of the metals which are high in activity series are not reduced by
carbon .How will you account for it?
Ans Metals which lie high in the reactivity series like Na ,K, Ca, Mg are reactive in
nature. The oxides of these metals are extremely stable. Moreover, the metals
present in these oxides are strong reducing agent. As a result these oxides can not
be reduced to the metallic form by heating with carbon (coke).For examples
CaO +C(s) no reaction
Q8 You are provided with three metals :sodium ,magnesium and copper .Using
only water as the reactant, how will you identify them?
Ans (a) The metal which reacts violently with cold water and catches fire is
sodium.
(b) The metal which evolve hydrogen gas with hot water is magnesium.
(c) The metal which does not reacts with water even on strong heating is copper.
Q9 An element E combines with oxygen to form an oxide E2O which is good
conductor of electricity. Give the following information.
(i)
(ii)
How many valence electrons will be present in the valence shell of the
element E.
Write the formula of the compound formed when E reacts with chlorine.
Ans (i) From the formula E2O it is clear that valency of an element E is 1 ,hence E
has got one valence electron.
(ii)We know that chlorine is monovalent . Since the valency of E is 1. This means
the formula of the chloride of E will be ECl.
Q10 (i) Name a metal which does not stick to glass.
(ii)Name a non-metal which is a good conductor of electricity.
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
