b) Silicon is metalloid
c) Sodium is stored in kerosine oil
d) Copper sulphate solution can be stored in Iron bottle.

3. A metal X reacts with oxygen to form an oxide X2O3, which is amphoteric in nature. What could be
the metal X?
a) Lead
b) Aluminium
c) Zinc
d) Iron
4. The reactivity series helps in predicting the outcome of a reaction between a metal and a compound
of another metal. Which reaction would NOT be feasible based on the reactivity series?
a) Mg + CuSO₄ → MgSO₄ + Cu
b) Zn + FeSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Fe
c) Cu + 2AgNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
d) Fe + ZnSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Zn
5. In general, the number of electrons in the outermost shell of a metal atom is
a) 1
b) 1 to 3
c) 5 to 8
d) 8
6. Which is/are the characteristic of SO2 gas.
a) It smells like burnt matches
b) put out a lit splint
c) it changes acidified potassium dichromate (VI) solution from orange to green
d) all of these
7. When a metal reacts with a non-metal, the resulting compound usually:
a) Is a good conductor of electricity in solid form
b) Has a high melting point
c) Forms an ionic bond
d) Is non-volatile and soluble in organic solvents
8. Which of the following is known as the alloy of Mercury.
a) Bauxite
b) Brass
c) Amalgam
d) solder
For following question, two statements are given one labeled Assertion (A) and the other labeled Reason
(R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) as given below:
(i) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion
(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion
(iii) A is true but R is false
(iv) A is false but R is true

1. Assertion: The electrical conductivity of a metal is due to presence of free electrons.


Reason: Metals conducts heat.

2. Assertion: Metal reactive than hydrogen reacts with acids to produce metal salt and hydrogen gas.
Reason: Metal like magnesium reacts with concentrated nitric acid to produce magnesium nitrate salt
and hydrogen gas.

3. Assertion: Magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white flame when heated in air.
Reason: Magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide, releasing a large
amount of heat and light.

4. Assertion: Gold is often alloyed with other metals for making jewelry.
Reason: Pure gold is soft and malleable, and alloying it with other metals increases its strength and
durability.

5. Assertion: Highly reactive metals are obtained by electrolytic reduction.


Reason: In the electrolytic reduction, metal is deposited at the cathode.

Level 2

1. How does the term "Ore" different from "Mineral”? Give an example.
2. Give two points of differences between calcination and roasting.
3. Complete the following information in the table:

Name of alloy Composition Uses of alloy


1. Brass
2. Steel
3. Bronze
4. Solder

4. What is Thermite Reaction? Explain with one example.


5. Explain the formation of MgCl2 by transfer of electrons with Mg as the metal and chlorine as the
nonmetal to illustrate your answer.
6. What is the nature of the oxide SO2? What happens when it is dissolved in water? Write the chemical
equation of the reaction involved.
7. A metal ‘X’ combines with a non-metal ‘Y’ by the transfer of electrons to form a compound XY2.
Element ‘X’ is one the elemental constituent of washing soda molecule. Non- metal ‘Y’ is greenish-
yellow colored element with bleaching property, and is one of the products of process, ‘chlor-alkali
process’.
a) State the type of bond in compound XY2.
b) What can you say about the melting point and boiling point of compound XY2?
c) Will this compound dissolve in kerosene or petrol or water?
d) Will this compound be a good conductor of electricity?
LEVEL 3

1. A metal ‘X’ is found in the form of fillings which burns vigorously when sprinkle on flame. When
these fillings are treated with Sulphur a black colored compound ‘Y’ is formed which is not attracted
by magnet. ‘X’ reacts with dil HCl to liberate hydrogen gas. Identify ‘X’ and ‘Y’. Write the
reactions involved.

2. A metal A, which is used in thermite process, when heated with oxygen gives an oxide B, which is
amphoteric in nature? Identify A and B. Write down the reactions of oxide B with HC1 and NaOH.

3. You are provided with three metals: Sodium, magnesium and copper. Using only water as the
reactant, how you will identify them?

4. An alkali metals A gives a compound B (molecular mass = 40 u) on reacting with water. The
compound B gives a soluble compound C on treatment with aluminium oxide. Identify A, B and C
Write the reactions involved.

5. Carbon and hydrogen are better reducing agents but they are not used to reduce metallic oxides at
high temperature. Why?

6. An element A reacts with water to form a compound B which is used in white washing. The
compound B on heating forms an oxide which on treatment with water gives back B. Identify A, B
and C and give the reactions involved.

7. An element ‘X’ displaces iron from the aqueous solution of iron sulphate but does not displace ‘Y’
from Y-sulphate. List your observations if the element ‘X’ is treated with the aqueous solutions of
copper sulphate, and silver nitrate. Based on the observations arrange X, Y, Cu and Ag in increasing
order of their reactivities.
