 Ques 1: Ethane, with the molecular formula C2H6 has  

(a) 6 covalent bonds.

(b) 7 covalent bonds.

(c) 8 covalent bonds.

(d) 9 covalent bonds.

Ans 1: (b) Ethane has 7 covalent bonds.(It is having single bond between all the atoms). 

Ques 2: Butanone(C4H8O ) is a four-carbon compound with the functional group  

(a) carboxylic acid.

(b) aldehyde.

(c) ketone.

(d) alcohol.

Ans 2: (c) The functional group of butanone is ketone.  (Ketones are having suffix "one"). 

Ques 3: While cooking, if the bottom of the vessel is getting blackened on the outside, it means  that  

(a) the food is not cooked completely.

(b) the fuel is not burning completely.

(c) the fuel is wet.

(d) the fuel is burning completely.

Answer 3: (b) While cooking, if the bottom of the vessel is getting blackened on the outside, then it means that the fuel is not burning completely Or incomplete burning of carbon compounds. 

Ques 4: Explain the nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in CH3Cl.  

Ans 4: Carbon can neither lose four of its electrons nor gain four electrons as both the processes require extra amount of energy and would make the system unstable. Therefore, it  completes its octet by sharing its four electrons with other carbon atoms or with atoms of  other elements. The bonds that are formed by sharing electrons are known as covalent  bonds. In covalent bonding, both the atoms share the valence electrons, i.e., the shared  electrons belong to the valence shells(outermost shell) of both the atoms.  Here, carbon requires 4 electrons to complete its octet, while each hydrogen atom requires one electron to complete its duplet. Also, chlorine requires an electron to complete the octet. Therefore, all of these share the electrons and as a result, carbon forms 3 bonds with hydrogen and one with chlorine.  

Ques 5: Draw the electron dot structures for  

(a) ethan oic acid.

(b) H₂S.

(c) pro pan one.

(d)F₂.

Ans 5: (a)Ethan oic acid



(b) H₂S. 


(c) pro pan one

(d)F₂



Ques 6: What is a homologous series? Explain with an example.  

Ans 6: A homologous series is a series of carbon compounds that have different numbers of  
carbon atoms but contain the same functional group. 

For example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. are all part of the alkane
homologous series. The general formula of this series is CnH2n+2. 

Methane CH4
Ethane CH3CH3
Propane CH3CH2CH3
Butane CH3CH2CH2CH3
It can be noticed that there is a difference of −CH2 unit between each successive 
compound.

Ques 7: How can ethanol and ethan oic acid be differentiated on the basis of their physical and  
chemical properties?

Ans 7: Ethanol is a liquid at room temperature with a pleasant odour while ethan oic acid  
has vinegar-like smell. The melting point of ethan oic acid is 17°C. This is below
room temperature and hence, it freezes during winters.

Ethan oic acid reacts with metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates to form
salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas while ethanol does not react with them.

Ques 8: In the electrolytic refining of a metal M, what would you take as the anode, the cathode  
and the electrolyte?

Ans 8: In the electrolytic refining of a metal M:  
Anode → Impure metal M
Cathode → Thin strip of pure metal M
Electrolyte → Solution of salt of the metal M

Ques 9: Why are carbon and its compounds used as fuels for most applications?  

Ans 9: Most of the carbon compounds give a lot of heat and light but negligible smoke when burnt in air. Saturated  hydrocarbons burn with a clean flame and no smoke is produced. The carbon compounds, used as a fuel, have high calorific values. Therefore, carbon and its compounds are used as fuels for most applications. Thus , the carbon compounds are good sources of fuel. 

Ques 10: Explain the formation of scum when hard water is treated with soap.  

Ans 10: Soap does not work properly when the water is hard due to the present of chlorine and magnesium ions. A soap is a sodium or potassium salt of long chain fatty acids. Hard water also contains salts of calcium and magnesium. When soap is added to hard water, calcium and magnesium ions present in water displace sodium or potassium ions from the soap molecules forming an insoluble substance called scum. A lot of soap is wasted in the process.  

Ques 11: What change will you observe if you test soap with litmus paper (red and blue)?  

Ans 11: Since soap is basic in nature, it will turn red litmus blue. However, the colour of blue litmus will remain same(blue) .  

Ques 12: What is hydrogenation? What is its industrial application?  

Ans 12: Hydrogenation is the process of addition of hydrogen. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are  
added with hydrogen in the presence of palladium and nickel catalysts to give saturated
hydrocarbons.

Ques 13: Which of the following hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions:  
C2H6, C3H8, C3H6, C2H2 and CH4.  

Ans 13: Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions. Being unsaturated hydrocarbons, C3H6 and C2H2 undergo addition reactions.
  
Ques 14: Give a test that can be used to differentiate chemically between butter and cooking oil.
  
Ans 14: Butter contains saturated fats. Therefore, it cannot be hydrogenated. On the other hand,  
oil has unsaturated fats. That is why it can be hydrogenated to saturated fats (solids).

Ques 15: Explain the mechanism of the cleaning action of soaps. 
 
Ans 15: Cleansing action of soaps:  
The dirt present on clothes is organic in nature and insoluble in water. Therefore, it cannot
be removed by only washing with water. When soap is dissolved in water, its hydrophobic
ends attach themselves to the dirt and remove it from the cloth. Then, the molecules of
soap arrange themselves in micelle formation and trap the dirt at the centre of the cluster.
These micelles remain suspended in the water. Hence, the dust particles are easily rinsed
away by water.

Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium || Relation between Beryllium and Aluminium

-
  Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below: » Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid. » Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4] » The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts. » Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (BeF4)2

                  QUANTUM NUMBERS  Orbitals represent regions in the space around the nucleus where the probability of finding the electron is maximum. A large number of electron orbitals are possible in atom. These can be distinguished by their size, shape and orientation of the orbitals. To describe each electron in an atom in different orbitals, we need a set of three numbers known as quantum numbers. These are designated as n, l and m. In addition to these three numbers another quantum number is also needed which specifies the spin of the electron. These four numbers are called quantum numbers. These are discussed below: 1. Principal quantum number (n) :  This quantum number determines the main energy shell or level in which the electron is present. It is denoted by n. It can have whole number values starting from 1 such as n = 1, 2, 3, 4 ... This quantum number also identifies as shell. The shell with n 1 is called the first shell. The shell with n 2 is called the second shell and

                    INTRODUCTION : The s- block elements of the periodic table are those in which the last electron enters  into the outermost s-orbital. As the s-orbital can accommodate only two electrons, in two group (1 & 2) belong to the s-block of the periodic table. Group 1 of the periodic table consists of the elements : lithium (L i), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (R b), caesium (C s) and francium (F r). They are collectively known as alkali metals. These are called because they forms hydroxides on reaction with water which are strongly alkaline in nature. The elements of Group 2nd include beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (C a), strontium (S r), barium (B a) and radium (Ra). These elements with the exception of Beryllium are commonly known as the alkaline earth metals. These are so called because their oxide and hydroxide are alkaline in nature and these metal oxides are found in the earth’s crust . The general electronic configuration of s- block element is
