Ques 16: Explain the following in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples each.

(a) Oxidation

(b) Reduction


Ans 16: (a) Oxidation is the gain of oxygen or the        loss of electron.  

For example:


In equation (i), H2 is oxidised to H2O and in   equation   (ii), Cu is oxidised to Cu O. 

(b) Reduction is the loss of oxygen.

For example:

In equation (i), CO2 is reduced to CO and in 

equation (ii), CuO is reduced to Cu.

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, (Be...

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS

-
             1. Introduction   The motion of a body depends on how mass is   distributed within the body. We restricted ourselves to simpler situations of rigid bodies. A rigid body generally means a hard solid object having a definite shape and size. But in reality, bodies can be stretched, compressed and bent. Even the appreciably rigid steel bar can be deformed when a sufficiently large external force is applied on it. This means that solid bodies are not perfectly rigid.A solid has definite shape and size. In order to change (or deform) the shape or size of a body, a force is required. If   you stretch a helical spring by gently pulling its ends, the length of the spring increases slightly. When you leave the ends of the spring, it regains its original size and shape.  The property of a body, by virtue of which it tends to regain its   original size and shape when the applied force is removed, is known as elasti...
