Chemistry Assignment

Name. Akash Sohail Class. 8 green Roll no. 13861

Q. Define the following


1. Element.
An element is a substance whose atoms all have the same number of
protons: another way of saying this is that all of a particular element's atoms have
the same atomic number. Example: Carbon, Oxygen.
2. Compound.
A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical
elements are chemically bonded together. In mixtures the substances present are
not chemically bonded together. For Example: Water, Methane.
3. Mixture.
A mixture is made from different substances that are not chemically
joined. For Example: Dirt and water, Oxygen And Water.
4. Atom.
Atom, smallest unit into which matter can be divided without the
release of electrically charged particles. For Example: Neon, Argon.
5. Molecule.
A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest
fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
For Example: H2O and O3.

Q. Write three differences between Mixtures And Compound.


Compound:
1. Compound are substances which can be formed by chemically combining two or
more elements
2. Compounds can be of three types, which are: covalent compounds, metallic
compounds and ionic compounds.
3. Compounds fall under pure substances.
Mixtures:
1. Mixtures are substances that are formed by physically mixing two or more
substances.
2. Mixtures are mainly of two types i.e. homogenous mixtures and heterogeneous
mixtures.
3. Mixtures can be categorized as impure substances.

Q2. (a)(i) Define ionic bond. (ii) Write three properties of ionic compounds.
Ionic Bond :
Ionic bonds are the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positive and
negative ions.
Properties of ionic Bonds :
 They form crystals. ...
 They have high melting points and high boiling points. ...
They have higher enthalpies of fusion and vaporization than molecular compounds. 

(b) Write dot-cross structures of the ions in


(i) NaCl  
(ii) MgO
(iii) LiF
Q3.(a) describe proton number and nucleon number .
Proton :
The Proton number of an atom refers to number of proton in the atom.
Nuclear Number :
The nuclear number of an atom is the total number of protons
and neutrons in the atom.

(b) What are isotopes?


Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and
electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.

(c) Write the electronic configuration of 19K, 13Al, and 17Cl.


1. 1s22s22p63s23p64s1 .
2. 1s22s22p63s23p1 .
3. 1s22s22p63s23p5

(d) How many protons, electrons and neutrons are there in


1. 3919K+
Number of Protons 19

Number of Neutrons 20

Number of Electrons 19
16
2. O2-
8

8 protons, 8 neutrons and 10 electrons

3.  7935Br

34 electrons, 35 protons, 44 neutrons


Q4. Define covalent bond.
Ans. A covalent bond is a bond formed by the sharing of electrons between two
atoms.

Write three properties of covalent bond.


1. Low melting and boiling points
2. Soft and brittle solid forms
3. Poor electrical and thermal conductivity.

Q5. Write at least 5 general group trends of group 1 elements.


Ans. 1. Shiny 2. Soft 3. Silvery
4. Highly reactive at standard temperature and pressure
5. Readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with a charge of +1.

(b) Write the balanced chemical equations, including states symbols when: 
Potassium reacts with (i) Oxygen (ii) Water (iii) Chlorine.
4K ---- O2 -----2K2O
2K + 2H2O → 2KOH + H2
KCLO3 → 2KCL + 3O2
(c) Write at least four observations when potassium reacts with cold water.
1: The metal melts and floats
2: Bubbles are shown
3: Hydrogen ignites instantly
4: Metal is set on fire.
Q6. What are halogens. Write five properties of halogens elements.
Elements of group 7 are halogens. They are Nonmetals.
Properties :
1: They are non metals
2: Their reactivity decreases d.g
3: They are highly reactive
4: They have low m.p and b.p
5: M.p and b.p increase d.g.

Q:What is a displacement reaction; explain how halogens show this property?


Ans: Displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which a more reactive element
displaces a less reactive element from its compound.

Q: Complete Equations
(i) cl2(g) + kbr(aq) → kcl(aq) + br2(l)
(ii) Cl2(g) + 2 KI(aq) = 2 KCl(aq) + I2(s)
(iii) Br2(l) + 2 KI(aq) = 2 KBr(aq) + I2(l)
(iv) F2(g) + 2 NaCl(aq) = 2 NaF(aq) + Cl2(g)
