Ques 1:  How many structural isomers can you draw for pentane?
  
Ans 1:  Three structural isomers are possible for pentane(C5 H12) are:



Ques 2: What are the two properties of carbon which leads to the huge number of carbon compounds we see around us?  

Ans 2: The two most important features of carbon that give rise to the large number of compounds are as follows:  

(i) Catenation: It is the ability to form bonds with other carbon atom. It is also known as self-linking property. 

(ii) Tetravalency: Since, Carbon is having the valency of four.Hence, carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms.

Ques 3: What will be the formula and electron dot structure of cyclopentane?  

Ans 3: The formula for cyclopentane is C5H10. Its electron dot structure is:


Ques 4: Draw the structures for the following compounds.  

(i) Ethanoic acid

(ii) Bromopentane

(iii) Butanone
 
(iv) Hexanal

Ans 4: (i) Ethanoic acid

(ii) Bromopentane

(iii) Butanone

(iv) Hexanal
Ques 5:  How would you name the following compounds? 


Ans 5:  (i) Bromo ethane 

(ii) Methanal

(iii) Hexyne

                                 Page: 71
Ques 1: Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid is an oxidation reaction?  

Ans 1:

Since, the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid involves the addition of oxygen(O2) to ethanol. So, it is an oxidation reaction.  

Ques 2: A mixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding. Can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used?

Ans 2: 


When ethyne is burnt in air, it gives a sooty flame. This is due to the incomplete combustion caused by limited supply of air and produces yellow falme. However, if ethyne is burnt with oxygen, it gives a clean  flame with temperature 3000°C because of complete combustion of oxygen. This oxy-acetylene flame is used for welding. It is not possible to attain such high temperature without mixing oxygen. This is the reason why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used.

                                 Page:  74
Ques 1: How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid?  

Ans 1: We can differentiate between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid on the basis of their reaction with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates. Acid reacts with carbonate and hydrogen carbonate() to evolve CO2 gas that turns lime water milky.


Alcohols, on the other hand, does not react with carbonates(CO 3) and hydrogen carbonates.

Ques 2:  What are oxidising agents?  

Ans 2:  Some substances such as alkaline potassium permanganate(KMnO4) and acidified potassium dichromate are capable of adding oxygen to the others. These are known as oxidising agents.

                                 Page: 76
Ques 1: Would you be able to check if water is hard by using a detergent?  

Ans 1: Detergents are ammonium(NH3) or sulphonate salts of long chain carboxylic acids. Unlike soap, they do not react with calcium(Ca) and magnesium(Mg) ions present in hard water to form scum. They give a good amount of lather irrespective of whether the water is hard or not. This means that detergents can be used in both soft water as well as hard water. Therefore, it not possible to check whether the water is hard or not with the help of detergent. 

Ques 2: People use a variety of methods to wash clothes. Usually after adding the soap, they ‘beat’  the clothes on a stone, or beat it with a paddle, scrub with a brush or the mixture is agitated in a washing machine. Why is agitation necessary to get clean clothes?  

Ans 2: A soap molecule has two parts namely hydrophobic(chain part) and hydrophilic(carbon part). With the help of these,  it attaches to the grease or dirt particle and forms a cluster called micelle. These micelles remain suspended as a colloid. To remove these micelles (entrapping the dirt), it is necessary to agitate the clothes.

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

                    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

                            Charge Charge is that property of an object by virtue of which it apply electrostatic force of interaction on other objects. Charges are of two types (i) Positive charge (+ve)  (ii) Negative charge (-ve)  Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.               Quantization of Charge Charge on any object can be an integer multiple of a smallest charge (e).                     Q = ± n e where, n = 1, 2, 3,……. and e = 1.6 * 10-19 C.                   Conservation of Charge Charge can neither be created nor be destroyed. but can be transferral from one object to another object. Recently a new particle has been discovered called ‘Quark’. It contains charge ± e / 3, ± 2e / 3. [The protons and neutrons are combination of other entities called quarks, which have charges 1 / 3 e. However, isolated quarks have not been observed, so, quantum of charge is still e. ]         Coulomb’s Law of Electrostatics Electrostatic force of interaction acting betwee
