CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION:
Chemistry is defined as that branch of science which deals with the composition and properties of matter
and the changes that matter undergone by various interactions. A chemical compound is formed as a result
of a chemical change and in this process different type of energies such as heat, electrical energy, radiation
etc. are either absorbed or evolved. The total mass of the substance remains the same throughout the
chemical change.
1.2 CHEMICAL ACTION OR REACTION:
When a chemical change occurs, a chemical action is said to have taken place. A chemical change or
chemical action is represented

and new chemical by a chemical
component formed equation.
is known The matter undergoing change in known as reactant
as product.
1.2 (a) Characteristics of a Chemical Reaction:
When we heat sugar crystals they melt and on further heating they give steamy vapour, leaving behind
brownish black mass. On cooling no sugar crystals appears. Thus change which takes place on heating
sugar is a chemical change and the process which brings about this chemical change is called chemical
reaction.
In this reaction the substance which take part in bringing about chemical change are called

reactants.
 The substance which are produced as a result of chemical change are called products.
 These reactions involve braking and making of chemical bonds.
 Product(s) of the reaction is/are new substances with new name(s) and chemical formula.
 It is often difficult or impossible to reverse a chemical reaction.
 Properties of products formed during a chemical reaction are different from thos of the reactants.

Apart from heat other forms of energies are light and electricity which are also used in carrying out

chemical changes.

In all chemical reactions, the transformation from reactants to products is accompanied by various
characteristics, which are-
(i) Evolution of gas : Some chemical reactions are characterized by evolution of a gas.
• When zinc ametal is treated with dilute sulphuric acid, hydrogen gas is evolved. The hydrogen gas
burns with pop sound.
Zn (s) + H 2SO4 (dilute) → ZnSO4 (aq) + H2(g)
• When washing soda is treated with hydrochloric acid, it gives off colorless gas with lots of
effervescence.
Na2CO3(s) + 2HCI → 2NaCI (aq) + H 2O(I) + CO2(g)
heat
• 2NaNCO3 (s) 
 → Na2SO3 (s) + H2O ( ) + CO2 (g)
Sodium hydrogen Sodium carbonate Water Carbon dioxide
carbonate
(ii) Change of colour: Certain chemical reactions are characterized by the change in colour of reacting
substance.
• When red lead oxide is heated strongly it forms yellow coloured lead monoxide and gives off
oxygen gas.
heat
2Pb3O4 (s)  
 → 6PbO(s) + O2(g)
Lead oxide Lead monoxide
(Red) (Yellow)
• When copper carbonate (green) is heated strongly it leaves behind a black residue.
heat
CuCO (s)    → CuO(s) + CO (g)

Copper carbonate Copper oxide Carbon dioxide
(Green) (Black)
heat
• 2Pb(NO3)2(s)  
 → 2 PbO(s) + 4NO2 (g) + O 2 (g)
Lead (II) nitrate Lead (II) oxide Nitrogen dioxide
(White) (Yellow) (Brown)
heat
• C12H22O11 (s)  
 → 12C(s) + 11H2O
White sugar Carbon Black Water
(iii) Formation of precipitate : Some chemical reactions are characterized by the formation of precipitate
(an insoluble substance), when the solutions of the soluble chemical compounds are mixed together.
• When silver nitrate solution is mixed with a solution of sodium chloride.
AgNO3 (aq) + NaCI (aq) 

→ NaNO3 (aq) + AgCI (s)
Silver nitrate Sodium chloride Sodium nitrate Silver chloride
(Colourless) (Colourless) (Colourless) (White precipitate)


• A dirty green precipitate of ferrous hydroxide is formed, when a solution of ferrous sulphate is mixed
with sodium hydroxide solution.
FeSO4 (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) 
→ Na2SO4 (aq) + Fe(OH)2 (aq)
Ferrous sulphate sodium hydroxide Sodium sulpahte Ferrous hydroxide
(Light green) (Colourless) (Colourless) (Dirty green precipitate)
• BacI2 (aq) + dill H2SO4 

→ BaSO4 (s) + 2HCI (aq)
Barium chloride Barium sulphate
(White precipitate)
(iv) Energy changes : all chemical reactions proceed either with the absorption or release of energy.
One the basis of energy changes, there are two types of reactions:
(A) Endothermic reaction : A chemical reaction which is accompanied by the absorption of

heat energy is called an endothermic reaction.
 C (s) + 2S (s)    → CS2 (  )
Heat
 Light energy is essential for biochemical reaction, photosynthesis, by which green plants prepare
their food from carbon dioxide & water.
(B) Exothermic reaction : A chemical reaction which is accompanied by the release of heat
energy is called exothermic reaction.
When magnesium wire is heated from its tip in a bunsen flame, it catches fire and burns with a
dazzling white flame with release of heat and light energy.
Heat
2Mg (s) + O2 (g)    → 2MgO (s) + Energy
 When quick lie (calcium oxide) is placed in water, the water becomes very hot and sometimes
starts boiling. It is because of release of heat energy during the reaction.
CaO (s) + H2O 

→ Ca(OH)2 (aq) + Heat energy
Calcium oxide Water Calcium hydroxide
(v) Change of state: Some chemical reactions are characterised by a change in state i.e. solid, liquid or
gas
Two volumes of hydrogen gas react with one volume of oxygen gas to from water.

2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O ()

or when electric current is passed through water it splits into its elements.
2H2O (  )       →
Electric current 2H2(g) + O2 (g)
 NH3 (g) + HCI (g) 

→ NH4CI (s)
Ammonia Hydrochloric acid Ammonium Chloride


1.3 CHEMICAL EQUATIONS :
All chemical changes are accompanied by chemical reactions. These reactions can be described in
sentence form, but the description would be quite long. Chemical equations have been framed to describe
the chemical reactions.
A chemical
formed equation links together the substance which react (reactants) with the new substances that are
(products).
Zinc + Hydrochloric acid 

→ Zinc chloride + Hydrogen
(Reactants) (Products)
A Chemical reaction can be summarised by chemical equation.
1.3 (a) Types of Chemical Equations :
(i) Word equations : A word equation links together the names of the reactants with those of the
products. For example, the word equation, when magnesium ribbon burns in oxygen to form a white powder
of magnesium oxide, may be written as follows-
Magnesium + Oxygen 

→ Magnesium oxide
(Reactants) (Product)
Similarly, the word equation for the chemical reaction between granulated zinc and hydrochloric acid may
be written as -
Zinc + Sulphuric acid → Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen
In a word equation
 The reactants are written on the left hand side with a plus sign (+) between them.
 The products are written on the right hand side with a plus sign (+) between them.
 An arrow (→) separates the reactants from the products.
 The direction of the arrow head points towards the product.
Although word equations are quite useful, yet they don’t give the true picture of the
chemical reactions.
(ii) Symbol equation : A brief representation of a chemical reaction in terms of symbols and
formulae of the substance involved is known as a symbol equation.
In a symbol equation, the symbols and formulae of the elements and compounds are written instead of their
word names.
For e.g. Burning of magnesium in oxygen to form magnesium oxide may be written as
follows :
Mg + O2 
→ MgO
Symbol equations are always written from the word equations.


1.3 (b) Unbalanced and Balanced Chemical Equations :
In an unbalanced equation, the number of atoms of different elements on both side of the equation are not
equal. For example, in the equation given below, the number of Mg atoms on both sides of the equation is
one (same), but the number of oxygen atoms are not equal, It is known as an unbalanced equations.
Mg + O2 
→ MgO
An unbalanced equation is also called skeletal equation.
In a balanced equating, the number of different elements on both sides of the equation are always equal.
The balanced equation for the burning of magnesium ribbon in oxygen is written as -
2 Mg + O 2 
→ 2 MgO
(i) Importance of balanced chemical equation: The balancing of a chemical equation is essential or

necessary to fulfill the requirement of “Law of conservation of mass”.
(ii) Balancing of chemical equations: Balancing of chemical equations may be defined as the process of
making the number of different types of elements, on both side of the equations, equal.
The balancing of a chemical equation is done with the help of Hit and Trial method. In this method, the
coefficients before the symbols or formulae of the reactants and products are adjusted in such a way that
the total number of atoms of each element on both the side of the arrow head become equal. This
balancing is also known as mass balancing because the atoms of elements on both side are equal and their
masses will also be equal.
The major steps involved in balancing a chemical equation are as follow –
 Write the chemical equations in the form a word equations. Keep the reactants on the left side and the
products on the right side. Separate them by an arrow whose head (→) points from the reactants towards
the product.
 Convert the word equation into the symbol equation by writing the symbols and formulae of all the
reactants and product.

Make the atoms of different elements on both side of the equation equal by suitable method. This is
known as balancing of equation.
 Do not change the formulae of the substance while balancing the equation.
 Make the equations more informative if possible.


Example :
1. Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to give zinc sulphate and hydrogen.
Solution : The word equation for the reaction is -
Zinc + Sulphuric acid → Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen
The symbol equation for the same reactions is -
Z n + H 2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
Let us count the number of atoms of all the elements in the reactants and products on both sides for the
equations.
Element No. of atoms of reactants No. of atoms of products

(L.H.S.) (R.H.S.)
Zn 1 1
H 2 2
S 1 1
O 4 4
As the number of atoms of the elements involved in the reactants and products are equal, the equation is
already balanced.
2. Iron reacts with water (steam) to form iron (II, III) oxide and liberates hydrogen gas.
Solution :- The word equation for the reactions is -
Iron + Water → iron (II, III) oxide + Hydrogen
The symbol equation for the same reaction is-
Fe + H2O → Fe3O4 + H2
The balancing of the equations is done is the following steps:
I : Let us count the number of atoms of all the elements in the reactants and products on both sides of the
equation.
Element No. of atoms of reactants

(L.H.S.) No. of atoms of products
(R.H.S.)
Fe 1 3
H 2 3
O 2 4
Thus, the number of H atoms are equal on both sides, At the same time, the number of Fe and O atoms are
not equal.
II : On inspection, the number of O atoms in the reactant (H2O) is 1 while in the product (Fe 3O4), these are
4. To balance the atoms, put coefficient 4 before H 2O on the reactant side. The partially balance equation
may be written as
Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + H2
III : In order to equate H atoms, put coefficient 4 before H on the product side, As a result, the H atoms on
2
both side on of the equation become 8 and are thus balanced. The partially balanced equation may now be
written as
Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + H2
IV : In order to balance the Fe atoms, put coefficient 3 before Fe on the reactant side. The equation formed
may be written as -
3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2
V : on final inspection, the number of atoms of all the elements on both sides of the equation are equal.
Therefore, the equation is balanced.


1.3 (c) Writing State Symbols:
The chemical equations or symbol equations which we have enlisted don’t mention the physical states of
the reactant and product species involved in the reaction. In order to make the equation more informative,
the physical state are also mentioned with the help of certain specific symbols known as state symbols.
These symbols are
 (s) for solid state
 () for liquid state
 (g) for gaseous state

 (aq) for aqueous solution i.e., solution prepared in water.
Sometimes a gas if evolved in a reaction is shown by the symbol (↑) i.e., by an arrow pointing upwards.
Similarly the precipitate, if formed during the reaction, is indicated by the symbol (↓) i.e., by an arrow
pointing downwards.
The abbreviation ‘ppt’ is also use to represent the precipitate, if formed.
(i) 2Na(s) + 2H 2O ( ) → 2NaOH (aq) + H 2(g) or H 2 (↑)
(ii) Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) → CaCO3 (↓) + H2O ( )
(iii) AnNo3(aq) + NaCI(aq) → AgCI (↓) + NaNO3 (aq)
1.3 (d) Significance of State Symbols:
The state symbols are of most significance for those chemical reactions which are either accompanied by
the evolution of heat (exothermic) or by the absorption of heat (endothermic). For example.
2H2(g) + O 2(g) → 2H2O ( ) + 572 kJ
2H (g) + O (g) → 2H O(g) + 44 kJ

2 2 2
Both these reactions are of exothermic nature because heat has been evolved in these. Howeve, actual
amounts of heat are different when water is in the l iquid state i.e. H2O (  ) and when it is in the vapour state.
1.3 (e) Specialties of Chemical Equation :
(i) We get the information about the substance which are taking part and formed in the reaction.
(ii) We get the information about the number of molecules of elements or compounds which are either
taking part or formed in the chemical reaction.
(iii) We also get the information of weight of reactant or products.
For example - CaCO3 

→ CaO + CO2
(100gm) (56 gm) (44 gm)
Total weight of reactants is equal to the total weight of products because matter is never destroyed. In the
above example total weight of calcium carbonate (reactant) is 100 gram and of product is also 100 g (56
gram + 44 gram).


(iv) In a chemical equation if any reactant or product is in gaseous state, then its volume can also be
determined. For example in the above reaction volume of carbon dioxide is 22.4 liters.
(vi) In a chem ical equation with the help of product we can get information about the valency as well.
For example
Mg + 2HCI → MgCI2 + H2 (↑)

In the above reaction one atom of Mg displaces two atoms of hydrogen, so valency of magnesium is two.
All chemical equations are written under N.T.P. Conditions (at 273 K and 1
atmosphere pressure) if conditions are not otherwise mentioned.
1.3 (f) Limitations of Chemical Equations :
(i) We do not get information about the physical state of reactants and products.
For example solid, liquid or gas.
(ii) No information about the concentration of reactants and products is obtained.
(iii) No information about the speed of reaction and sense of timing can be obtained.
(iv) Information regarding the favorable conditions of the reactions such as pressure, temperature, catalyst
etc. can’t be obtained during the reaction.
(v) We do not get information whether heat is absorbed or evolved during the reaction.
(vi) We do not get information whether the reaction of reversible or irreversible.
(vii) We do not get information about the necessary precautions to be taken for the completion of reaction.
The above limitations are rectified in the following manner –
•
The physical sate of reactants and products are represented by writing them in bracket.
• The precipitate formed in the reaction is represented by (↓) symbol and gaseous substance by (↑)
symbol.
• To express the concentration, dilute or conc. is written below the symbol.

Mg + H 2SO4 
→ MgSO4 + H2
(dilute)
• Favorable conditions required for the completion of reaction are written above and below the arrow.

2.1 TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS:
2.1 (a) Addition Reactions :

It is a union of two or more than two substances to from a new substance. It may be brought about by the
application of heat, light electricity or pressure.
For eg. H2 + CI2 → 2HCI
In the above example H 2 and CI2 two elements combine to from hydrogen chloride.
Addition reactions may be formed in the following conditions -

(i) When two or m ore elements combine to form a new compound.
Synthesis reaction : It is a type of addition reaction in which a new substance is formed by the union of its
component elements.
For eg. N2 + 3H3 → 2NH3 (Haber’s Process)
Ammonia is synthesised from its components, nitrogen and hydrogen, so it is a synthetic reaction.
All synthesis reaction are addition reactions but all addition reactions are not
synthesis reactions.
Other Example of synthesis reactions are -

 2H2 + O2 
→ 2H2O
 2Mg + O2 
→ 2MgO
 2Na + CI2 

→ 2NaCI
(ii) When two or m ore compounds combine to from a new com pound.
For eg.
 NH + HCI  → NH4CI
3
 CaO + CO2 
→ CaCO3
 → CH
CH2 = CH2 + Br2  2 − Br
|
CH 2 − Br
(iii) When and element and a compound combine to from a new compound.

For eg.
 2CO + O2 
→ 2CO2
 2CO2 + O2 

→ 2CO3
Only single substance is formed as a product in the addition reactions.


2.1 (b) Decomposition Reaction :
It is breaking up of a substance into simpler compounds and it may be brought about by the application of
heat, light, electricity etc.
(i) A decomposition reaction brought by heat is known as thermal decomposition.

For eg. ∆
 CaCO3 
→ CaO + CO2
∆
 2Pb (NO3)2 
→ 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2
(ii) Decomposition performed by electricity is known as electrolysis.

For eg.
Electricity
 2H2O      → 2H2 + O2
Electricity
 2NaCI   
  → 2Na + CI2
Electricity
 2AI2O3     → 4 AI + 3O2

(iii) A decomposition reaction brought by light is known as photo decomposition.
For eg. Light

 2AgBr   
 → 2Ag + Br2
Light
 2AgCI   
 → 2Ag + CI2
(iv) Decomposition reaction in which a compound decomposes into its elements is known as analysis
reaction.
For eg.
∆
 2HgO 
→ 2Hg + O2
∆
 2HI 
→ H2 ↑ + ↓
All analysis reactions are decomposition reactions, but all decomposition reactions are not analysis
reactions.
Decomposition reaction is just opposite of the addition reaction.
2.1 (c) Displacement Reactions :
It involves displacement of one of the constituents of a compound by another substance and may be
regarded as a displacement reaction.
For eg.
(i) Zinc displaces hydrogen from sulphuric acid.

Zn (s) + dill. H 2SO4 (aq) 
→ ZnSO4 (aq) + H 2 ↑
(ii) Iron displaces copper from a copper sulphate solution.

Fe (s) + CuSO4(aq) 
→ FeSO4 (aq) + Cu
In general a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element

from the soluble solution of its salt.


2.1 (d) Double Displacement :
It is mutual exchange of the radicals of two compounds taking part in the reaction and results in the
formation of two new compounds.
 NaCI (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) 

→ AgCI ↓ + NaNO 3 (aq)
 BaCI2 (aq) + Na 2SO4 (aq) 

→ BaSO4 ↓ + 2NaCI (aq)
Acid base neutralisation reactions are double displacement reactions.

3.1 OXIDATION AND REDUCTION :
3.1 (a) Oxidation :
Oxidation is a chemical reaction in which a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen. Since oxygen is an
electronegative element and hydrogen is an electropositive element, so, oxidation is defined as a reaction in
which a substance gains and electronegative radical or loses and electropositive radical.
(i) A reaction in which a substance gains oxygen is known as oxidation.

For eg.
 S + O2 
→ SO4
 2SO2 + O2 

→ 2SO3
 2Ca + O2 

→ 2CaO
 Pbs + 2O 2 
→ PbSO4
(ii) Gain or addition of a electronegative radical

For eg.
 2FeCI2 + CI2 

→ 2FeCI3
 Mg + CI2 
→ MgCI2
 2FeSO4 + H2SO4 + [O] 

→ Fe2(SO4)3 + H2O
 SnCI2 + CI2 

→ SnCI4
(iii) Removal of a hydrogen atom.

For eg.
 2HCI 
→ CI2 + H2

Zn + H2SO4 
→ ZnSO4 + H2
(iv) Removal or loss of electropositive radical or element.
For e.g.
 2KI + H2O2 
→ 2KOH + I2
3.1 ( b) Reduction :
It is a chemical reaction in which there is a gain of hydrogen or any electropositive radical or a loss of
oxygen or electronegative radical.

(i) Gain of hydrogen.
For eg.
 CI2 + H2S 
→ 2HCI + S
 O2 + 2H2 

→ 2H2O
 C 2H4 + H2 

→ C2H 6
(ii) Gain of any electropositive radical or element.

For eg.
 SnCI2 + 2HgCI2 

→ Hg2CI2 + SnCI4
 CuCI2 + Cu 
→ Cu2CI2
(iii) Loss of o xygen atom.

For eg.

CuO + H 2 
→ Cu + H2O
 ZnO + C 
→ Zn + CO
(iv) Loss of elec tronegative radical.

For eg.
 Fe 2(SO4)3 + H2 
→ 2FeSO4 + H2SO4
 SnCI4 + Hg2CI2 
→ 2HgCI2 + SnCI2
3.2 REDOX REACTIONS :
Reduction is loss of electronegative element or radical. From all above e xample it is clear that oxidation and
reduction occur side by side, i.e. there can be no oxidation without and equivalent reduction. In a reaction
whenever one substance is oxidised the other is definitely reduced. The reverse is also true whenever one
substance is reduced the other is oxidized. Such reactions in which oxidation and reduction take place
simultaneously are known as redox reactions.
Reduction
CuO + H 2 Cu + H 2O
Oxidation
When hydrogen gas is passed through not cupric oxide, hydrogen is oxidised to water (H 2O) while cupric
oxide is reduced to metallic copper by loss of oxygen. Hydrogen gas helps in reduction of cupric oxide to
metallic copper so it is known as reducing agent, where as cupric oxide helps in oxidation of hydrogen so it
is known as oxidizing agent. A substance, which brings about reduction, is called reducing agent. A
substance, which brings about oxidation, is called an oxidizing agent.
3.2 (a) Electronic Interpretation of Oxidation:


The electronic theory attempts to interpret oxidation on the basis of electron transfer. According to octet
rule, atom will try to complete its octet by losing gaining or sharing electrons. Sodium chloride is an
electrovalent compound and consists of an ion pair (Na +) (CI-) even in the solid state. In its formation, the
neutral sodium loses and electron and becomes positively charged sodium ion. Sodium is said to be
oxidised and loss of electrons is termed as o xidation.
2Na → 2Na+ + 2e-
2Na+ + 2CI- → 2NaCI
3.2 (b) Electronic Interpretation of Reduction :
Reduction which is also referred to as electronation is a process involving the gain of electrons and is the
reverse of o xidation.
For example
Mg combines with oxygen and is oxidized to MgO. According to electronic theory magnesium atom loses
two electrons from its outermost shell (M) and is oxidised to mG which oxygen atom gains these two
electrons and gets reduced to oxide anion, hence oxidation involves loss of electrons and it is also referred
as de- electronation. Reduction involves gain of electrons so it is referred to as electronation.
2Mg+ O2 → 2MgO
+2
Mg → Mg + 2e-
- 2-
O ++22e →
2- O
Mg + O → MgO
3.3 EFFECT OF OXIDATION REACTIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE :
We are all aware of the fact that oxygen is most essential for sustaining life. One can live without food or
even water for a number of days but not without oxygen. It is involved in a variety of actions which have
wide range of effects on our daily life. Most of them are quite useful while a few may be harmful in nature.
Some of these effects are briefly discussed. Some examples are-
3.3 (a) Combustion Reactions:
A chemical reaction in which a substance burns or gets oxidised in the presence of air or oxygen in called
combustion reaction. For example, kerosene, coal, charcoal, wood etc. burn in air and thus, undergo
combustion. Methane (CH4) a major constituent of natural gas undergoes combustion in excess of oxygen
upon heating.
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H 2O (  )
Methane
Similarly, butane (C 4H 10) the main constituent of L.P.G. also undergoes combustion.
C4H10 (g) + 13/2O 2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 5H2O(g)
Butane
All combustion reactions are of exothermic nature and are accompanied by release of heat energy. The
human body may be regarded as a furnace or machine in which various food stuffs that we eat undergo
combustion or oxidation. The heat energy evolved keeps our body working. Carbohydrates such as
glucose, fructose, starch etc. Are the major source of energy to the human body. They undergo combustion
with the help of oxygen that we inhale to form carbon dioxide and water. For example.
C5H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H 2O (  ) + energy
All combustion reactions are not accompanied by flame. Combustion is basically o xidation accompanied by
release of energy.


3.3 (b) Respiration :
Respiration is the most important biochemical reaction which releases energy in the cells. When we breathe
in air, oxygen enters our lungs and passes into thousands of smalls air sacs (alveoli). These air sacs
occupy a large area of membranes and oxygen diffuses from the membranes into blood. It binds itself to
hemoglobin present in red blood cells and is carried to millions of cells in the body. Respiration occurs in
these cells and is accompanied by the combustion of glucose producing carbon dioxide and water. Since
the reaction is of exothermic nature, the energy released during respiration carry out many cell reactions
and also keeps our hart and m uscles working. It also provides the desired warm th to the body. Both carbon
dioxide and water pas back into the blood and we ultimately breathe them out. Respiration takes place in
the cells of all living beings.
Fish takes up oxygen dissolved in water through their gills while plants take
up air through small pores (stomata) present in their leaves.
3.3 (c) Harmful Effects of Combustion :
We have discussed the utility of combustion in releasing energy which our body needs to keep warm and
working; however, combustion has harmful effects also. The environmental pollution is basically due to
combustion. Poisonous gases like carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO 2) sulphur trioxide (SO 3) and
oxide of nitrogen (NOX) etc. are being released into the atmosphere as a result of variety of combustion
reaction which are taking place. They pollute the atmosphere and make our lives miserable. In addition to
these, other harmful effects of combustion are corrosion and rancidity. These are briefly discussed.
(i) Corrosion : Corrosion may be defined as the process of slow eating up of the surfaces of certain metals
when kept in open for a long time.
Quite often, when we open the bonnet of a car after a long time, we find a deposit around the terminals of
the battery. This is an example of corrosion. Black coating on the surface of silver and green layer on the
surface of copper are the examples of corrosion. In case of iron, corrosion is called rusting. Rust is a
chemical substance brown in colour and is formed by the chemical action of moist air (containing O 2 and
H2O) on iron. It is basically an oxidation reaction and the formula of rust is Fe 2O3, xH 2O. It is very slow in
nature and once started keeps on.

Both corrosion and rusting are very harmful and case damage to the building, Railway tracks, cars and
other objects/ materials where metals are used. We quite often hear that an old building has collapsed on
its own causing loss of both lives and property. This is on account of the rusting of iron which is used in
making the structure particularly the roof.


(ii) Rancidity : Oxidation has damaging effects on food and eatables. When the fats and oils present in
butter and margarine are oxidised, they become rancid. As a result, their smell and taste change. They
become quite unpleasant. This is known a rancidity. It can be checked in a number of away.
(A) Manufacturer sometimes add certain food additives to the food materials. These are known as
antioxidant and check their oxidation.
(B) Keeping food in air tight containers prevents its oxidation.
(C) Refrigeration of food also slows down rancidity because the temperature inside refrigerator is
very low and direct contact with air or oxygen is avoided.
(D) Chips manufacturers generally flush their bags with nitrogen before packing so that they may
not be oxidised.

ACIDS,BASES AND SALTS
4.1 ACIDS :
Substances with sour taste are regarded as avoids. Lemon juice, vinegar, grape fruit juice and spoilt milk
etc. taste sour since they are acidic. Many substances can be identified as acids based on their taste but
some fo the acids like sulphuric acid have very strong action on the skin which means that they are
corrosive in nature. In such case it would be according to modern definition-
An acid may be defined as a substance which release one or more H + ions in aqueous solution.
Acids are mostly obtained from natural sources. One the basis of their source avids are of two types -
(a) Mineral acids (b) Organic acids
4.1 (a) Mineral Acids :
Acids which are obtained from rocks and m inerals are called mineral acids.
4.1 (b) Organic Acids :
Acids which are present in animals and plants are known as organic acids. A list of commonly used acids
along with their chemical formula and typical uses, is given below -
Name Type Chemical Formula Where found or used

Carbonic acid Mineral acid H2CO3 In soft drinks and lends fizz, In stomach as
gastric juice, used in tanning industry
Nitric acid Mineral Acid HNO3 Used in the manufacture of explosives.
(TNT, Nitroglycerine) and fertilizers
(Ammonium nitrate, Calcium nitrate,
Purification of Au, Ag.)
Hydrochloric Mineral Acid HCI In purification of common salt, in textile
acid industry as bealching agent, to make aqua
regia mixture of Hu2HNO3 in ration of 3 : 1
Sulhuric acid Mineral Acid H2SO4 Commonly used in car batteries, in the
manufacture of fertilizers (Ammonium
sulphate, super phosphate) detergents etc,
in paints, plastics, drugs, in manufacture of
artificial silk, in petroleum refining.
Phosphoric acid Mineral Acid H3PO4 Used I antirust paints and in fertilizers.
Formic acid Organic Acid HCOOH(CH2O2) Found in the stings of ants and bees, used

Benzoic acid Organic Acid C6H5COOH Used as a food preservation.
Critic acid Organic Acid C6H8O Present in lemons, oranges and citrus fruits.


4.1 (c) Chemical Properties of Acids:
1. Action with metals: Dilute acids like dilute HCI and dilute H 2SO4 react with certain active metals to
evolve hydrogen gas.
2Na(s) + 2HCI (dilute) 

→ 2NaCI(aq) + H (g)
2
Mg(s) + H 2SO4 (dilute) 

→ MgSO4 (aq) + H 2(g)
Metals which can displace hydrogen from dilute acids are known as avtive metals. e.g. Na, K, Zn, Fe, Ca,
Mg etc.
Zn(s) + H 2SO4 (dilute) → ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)
The active metals which lie above hydrogen in the activity series are electropositive in nature. Their atoms
lose electrons to form positive ions and these electrons are accepted by H + ions of the acid. As a result, H 2
is evolved.
For e.g.
Zn(s) 
→ Zn2+ (aq) + 2e -
2- 2-
ZH +(aq) + SO4 (aq) + 2e - 
→ H2 (g) + SO 4 (aq)
Zn(s) + 2H+ (aq) → Zn++(aq) + H 2(g)


2. Action with metal oxides : Acids react with metal oxides to form salt and water. These reactions are
mostly carried out upon heating.
For e.g.
ZnO(s) + 2HCI(aq) 

→ ZNCI2(aq) + H2O ( )
MgO(s) + H2SO4(aq) 

→ MgSO4(aq) + H2O ( )
CuO(s) + 2HCI(dil.) 

3. Action with metal carbonates and metal bicarbonates : Both metal carbonates and
bicarbonates react with acids to evolve CO 2 gas and form salts.
For e.g.
CaCO3(s) + 2HCI(aq) 

→ CaCI2(aq) + H2 O (  ) + CO2(g)
Calcium carbonate Calcium chloride
2NaHCO3(s) + H2SO4(aq) 

→ Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(aq) + CO2(g)
Sodium Sodium
bicarbonate sulpahte
4. Action with bases : Acids react with bases to give salts and water.
HCI + NaOH 
→ NaCI + H 2O


4.1 (d) Strong and Weak Acids :
(i) Strong acids : Acids which are completely ionised in water are known as strong acids.
For e.g.
Hydrochloric acid (HCI), sulphuric acid (H 2SO4), nitric acid (HNO3) etc. are all strong acids.
→ +
 -
HCI + Water H (aq) + CI (aq)
2-
H2SO4 + → 2H+(aq)
Water  + SO4 (aq)
(ii) Weak acids: Acids which are weakly ionised in water are known as weak acids.
For e.g.
Carbonic acids (H2CO 3), phosphoric acid (H 3PO4), formic acid (HCOOH), acetic acid (CH3COOH) are weak
acids.
→ CH3COO-(aq) + H+ (aq)
CH3COOH + Water 
In general MINERAL acids are STRONG acids while ORGANIC acids are
WEAK acids.
4.2 Base :
Substances with bitter taste and soapy touch are regarded as bases. Since many bases like sodium
hydroxide and potassium hydroxide have corrosive action on the skin and can even harm the body, so
according to the modern definition -
a base may be defined as a substance capable of releasing one or more OH- ions in aqueous solution.
4.2 (a) Alkalies :
Some bases like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are water soluble. These are known as
alkalies. Therefore water soluble bases are known as alkalies eg. KOH, NaOH. A list of a few typical bases
along with their chemical formulae and uses is given below-
Name Commercial
Name Chemical
Formula Uses
In manufacture of soap, paper, pulp, rayon, refining

Sodium hydroxide Caustic Soda NaOH of petroleum etc.
In alkaline storage batteries, manufacture of soap,

Potassium hydroxide Caustic Sba KHO absorbing CO2 gas etc.
In manufacture of bleaching powder softening of

Calcium hydroxide Slaked lime Ca(OH)2 hard water etc.
Magnesium hydroxide Mil of Magnesia Mg(OH)2 As an antacid to remove acidity from stomach
Aluminum hydroxide - Al(OH)3 As foaming agent in fire extinguishers.
In removing greases stains from cloths and in

Ammonium hydroxide - NH4OH cleaning window panes.

4.2 (b) Chemical Properties :
1. Action with metals : Metals like zinc, tin and aluminum react with strong alkalies like NaOH (caustic
soda), KOH (caustic potash) to evolve hydrogen gas.
Zn(s) + 2NaOH(aq) 

→ Na 2ZnO2(aq) + H 2(g)
Sodium zincate
Sn(s) + 2NaOH(aq) 

→ Na2SnO2(aq) + H 2(g)
Sodium stannite
2AI(s) + 2NaOH + 2H 2O 

→ 2NaAIO2(aq) + 3H 2(g)
Sodium meta aluminate
2. Action with non-metallic oxides: Acids react with metal oxides, but bases react with oxides of non-
metals to form salt and water.
For e.g.
2NaOH(aq) + CO2(g) 
→ Na3CO3(aq) + H2O ( )
Ca(OH)2(s) + SO2(g) 

→ CaSO3(aq) + H 2O (  )
Ca(OH)2(s) + CO2(g) 

→ CaCO3(s) + H 2O ()
4.2 (c) Strong and Weak Bases :
(i) Strong base : A base contains one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups which it releases in aqueous
solution upon ionisation. Bases which are almost completely ionised in water, are known as strong bases.
For e.g.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (OH) groups which it releases in aqueous solution upon
ionisation. Bases which are almost completely ionised in water, are known as strong bases.
NaOH(s) → Na+ (aq) + OH -(aq)
+ Water 
KOH(s) → K+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
+ Water 
Both NaOH and KOH are deliquescent in nature which means that they absorb moisture from air and get
liquefied.
(ii) Weak bases : Bases that are feebly ionised on dissolving in water and reduce a low concentration of
hydroxyl ions are called weak bases.
eg. Ca(OH)2, NH 4OH
4.3 CONDUCTING NATURE OF ACID AND BASE SOLUTIONS :
Acids are the substances which contain one or more hydrogen atoms in their molecules which they can
release in water as H + ions. Similarly, bases are the substances which contain one or more hydroxyl groups
in their molecules which they an release in water as OH - ions. Since the ions are the carries of charge
therefore, the aqueous solutions of both acids and bases are conductors of electricity.


Experiment :
In a glass beaker, take a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid (HCI). Fix two small nails of iron in a rubber
cork in the beaker as shown in the figure. Connect the nails to the terminals of a 6 volt battery through a
bulb. Switch on the current and bulb will start glowing. This shows that the electric current has passed
through the acid solution. As the current is carried by the movement of ions, this shows that is solution HCI
+ -
has ionised to give H and CI ions. Current will also be in a position to pass if the beaker contains in it
dilute H2SO4 (H + ions are released in aqueous solution). Similarly, aqueous solutions containing NaOH or
KOH will also be conducting due to release of OH - ions.
Bulb will not glow if glucose (C6H12O6) or ethyl alcohol (C 2H6O) solution is kept in the beaker. This means
that both of them will not give any ions in solution.
4.4 COMPARISON BETWEEN PROPERTIES OF ACIDS AND BASES :

4. Acidic properties disappear 5. No decomposition of carbonate salts

(Neutralisation).
5. Acids decompose carbonate
salts.
4.5 ROLE OF WATER IN THE INISATION OF ACIDS AND BASES :
Substances can act as acids and bases only in the presence of water in aqueous solution. In dry state
which is also called anhydrous state, these characters cannot be shown Actually, water helps in the
ionisation of acids or base by separating the ions. This is also known as dissociation and is explained on
the basis of a theory called Arrhenius theory of acids and bases.
In the dry state, hydrochloric acid is known as hydrogen chloride gas i.e. HCI(g). It is not in the position to
give any H+ ions. Therefore, the acidic character is not shown. Now, let


us pass the gas through water taken in a beaker with the help of glass pipe. H 2O molecules are of polar
nature which means that they have partial negative charge ( δ + ) on oxygen atom and partial positive charge
( δ − ) on hydrogen atoms. They will try to form a sort of envelope around the hydrogen atoms as well as
chlorine atoms present in the acid and thus help in their separation as ions. These ions are said to be
hydrated ions.
→ H+ (aq) + CI- (aq)

HCI(g) + Water 
(Hydrated ions)
The electrical current is carried through these ions. The same applied to other acids as well as bases. Thus
we conclude that -
(i) acids can release H+ ions only in aqueous solution.
(ii) base can release OH - ions only in aqueous solution.
(iii) hydration helps in the release of ions from acids and bases.
4.6 DILUTION OF ACIDS AND BASES :

Acids and bases are mostly water soluble and can be diluted by adding the required amount of water. With
the addition of water the amount of acid or base per unit volume decrease and dilution occurs. The process
is generally exothermic in nature. A concentrated acid like sulphuric acid or nitric acid is to be diluted with
water. Acid should be added dropwise to water taken in the container with constant stirring.

ACIDS, BASES AND SALTS
5.1 INDICATORS:
Indicator indicated the nature of particular solution whether acidic, basic or neutral. Apart from this, indicator
also represents the change in nature of the solution from acidic to basic and vice versa. Indicators are
basically coloured organic substances extracted from different plants. A few common acid base indicators
are
5.1 (a) Litmus :
Litmus is a purple dye which is extracted from ‘lichen’ a plant belonging to variety Thallophytic. It can also
be applied on paper in the form of strips and is available as blue and red strips. A blue litmus strip, when
dipped in an acid solution acquires red colour. Similarly a red strip when dipped in a base solution becomes
blue.
5.1 (b) Phenolphthalein :
It is also an organic dye and acidic in nature. In neutral or acidic solution, it remains colourless while in the
basic solution, the colour of indicator changes to pink.
5.1 (c) Methyl Orange :
Methyl orange is an orange coloured dye (yellow) and basis in nature. In the acidic medium the colour of
indicator becomes red and in the basic or natural medium, it colour remains unchanged.
5.1 (d) Red Cabbage Juice :
It is purple in colour in natural medium and turns red or pink in the acidic medium. In the basic or alkaline
medium, its colour changes to green.
5.1 (e) Turmeric Juice :
It is yellow in colour and remains as such in the neutral and acidic medium. In the basic medium its colour
becomes reddish or deep brown.
Sample Blue litmus Red litmus solution Phenolphthalein Methyl orange

HCI Changes to red No colour change Remains colourless Changes to red
HNO3 Changes to red No colour change Remains colourless Changes to red
NaOH No colour change Changes to blue Changes to light pink No changes in colour
KOH No colour change Changes to blue Changes to light pink No changes in colour
Litmus is obtained from LICHEN plant.
5.2 NEUTRALISATION :


It may be defined as a reaction between acid and base present in aqueous solution to form salt and water.
HCI(aq) + NaOH(aq) 
→ NaCI(aq) + H 2O (  )
Basically neutralision is the combination between H+ ions of the acid with OH - ions of the base to form H 2O.
For e.g.
H+(aq) + CI-(aq) + Na+ (aq) + OH - (aq) 
→ Na+(aq) + CI-(aq) + H 2O ()
H+(aq) + OH -(aq) 

→ H2O ( )
Neutralisation reaction involving an acid and base is of exothermic nature. Heat is evolved in all
naturalisation reactions. If both acid and base are strong, the value of heat energy evolved remains same
irrespective of their nature.
For e.g.
HCI (aq) + NaOH (aq) 

→ NaCI (aq) + H 2O (  ) + 57.1 KJ
(Strong (Strong
acid) base)
HNO3 (aq) + KOH(aq) 

→ KNO3(aq) + H 3O ( ) + 57.1 J
(Strong (Strong
acid) base)
Strong acids and strong bases are completely ionised of their own in the solution. No energy is needed for
their ionisation. Since the action of base and anion of acid on both sides of the equation cancels out
completely, the heat evolved is given by the following reaction -
H+ (aq) + OH - (aq) 

→ H2O (  ) + 57.1 KJ
5.3 APPLICATIONS OF NEUTRALISATION :
(i) People particularly of old age suffer from acidity problems in the stomach which is caused mainly due to
release of excessive gastric juices containing HCI. The acidity is neutralised by antacid tablets which
contain sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda), magnesium hydroxide etc.
(ii) The sting of bees and ants contain formic acid. Its corrosive and poisonous effect can be neutralised by
rubbing soap which contains NaOH (an alkali).
(iii) The stings of wasps contain an alkali and its poisonous effect can be neutralised by an acid like acetic
acid (present in vinegar).
(iv) Farmers generally neutralise the effect of acidity in the soil caused by acid rain by adding slaked lime
(Calcium hydroxide) to the soil.
5.4 pH SCALE :


A scale for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in a solution called pH scale, has been developed by
S.P.L. sorrensen. The P in pH stands for potenz’ in German meaning power. On the pH scale we can
measure pH from O (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). pH should be thought of simply as a number which
indicates the acidic or basic nature of solution. Higher the hydrogen ion concentration, Lower is the pH
scale.
Characteristic of pH scale are -
(i) For acidic solution, pH < 7
(ii) For alkaline solution, pH > 7
(iii) For neutral solution, pH = 7
5.4 (a) Universal Indicator Papers for pH Values :
Indicators like litmus, phenolphthalein and methyl orange are used in predicting the acidic and basic
characters of the solutions. However universal indicator papers have been developed to predict the pH of
different solutions. Such papers represent specified colours for different concentrations in terms of pH
values.
The exact pH of the solution can be measured with the help of pH meter which gives instant reading and it
can be relied upon.
pH values of a few common solutions are given below -
Solution Approximate pH Solution Approximate pH
Gastric juices 1.0 – 3.0 Pure water 7.0

Lemon juices 2.2 - 2.4 Blood 7.36 – 7.42
Vinegar 3.0 Baking soda solution 8.4
Bear 4.0 – 5.0 Sea water 9.0

Tomato juice 4.1 Washing soda solution 10.5
Coffee 4.5 – 5.5 Lime water 12.0

Acid rain 5.6 House hold ammonia 11.9
Milk 6.5 Sodium hydroxide 14.0
Saliva 6.5 – 7.5
5.4 (b) Significance of pH in daily life :
(i) pH i our digestive system : Dilute hydrochloric acid produced in our stomach helps in the digestion
of food. However, excess of acid causes indigestion and leads to pain as well as irritation. The pH of the
digestive system in the stomach will decrease. The excessive acid can be neutralised with the help of
antacid which are recommended by the doctors. Actually, these are group of compounds (basic in nature)
and have hardly and side effects. A very popular antacid is ‘Milk of Magnesia’ which is insoluble magnesium
hydroxide. Aluminum hydroxide and sodium hydrogen carbonate can also be used for the same purpose.
These antacids will bring the pH of the system back to its normal value. The pH of human blood varies
between 7.36 to 7.42. it is maintained by the soluble bicarbonates and carbonic acid present in the blood.
These are known as
buffers.


(ii) pH change leads to tooth decay : The white enamel coating on our teeth is of insoluble calcium
phosphate which is quite hard. It is not affected by water. However, when the pH in the mouth falls below
5.5 the enamel gets corroded. Water will have a direct access to the roots and decay of teeth will occur.
The bacteria present in the mouth break down the sugar that we eat in one form or the other to acids, Lactic
acid is one these. The formation of these acids causes decrease in pH. It is therefore advisable to avoid
eating surgery foods and also to keep the mouth clean so that sugar and food particles may not be present.
The tooth pastes contain in them some basic ingredients and they help in neutralising the effect of the acids
and also increasing the pH in the mouth.
(iii) Role of pH in curing stings by insects: The stings of bees and ants contain methanoic acid (or
formic acid). When stung, they cause lot of pain and irritation. The cure is in rubbing the affected area with
soap. Sodium hydroxide present in the soap neutralises acid injected in the body and thus brings the pH
back to its original level bringing relief to the person who has been stung. Similarly, the effect of stings by
wasps containing alkali is neutralised by the application of vinegar which is ethanoic acid (or acetic acid)
(iv) Soil pH and plant growth : The growth of plants in a particular soil is also related to its pH.
Actually, different plants prefer different pH range for their growth. it is therefore, quite important to provide
the soil with proper pH for their healthy growth. Soils with high iron minerals or with vegetation tend to
become acidic. This soil pH can reach as lows as 4. The acidic effect can be neutralised by ‘liming the soil’
which is carried by adding calcium hydroxide. These are all basic in nature and have neutralising effect.
Similarly, the soil with excess of lime stone or chalk is usually alkaline. Sometimes, its pH reaches as high
as 8.3 and is quite harmful for the plant growth. In order to reduce the alkaline effect, it is better to add
some decaying organic matter (compost or manure). The soil pH is also affected by the acid rain and the
use of fertilizers. Therefore soil treatment is quite essential.

ACIDS, BASES AND SALTS
6.1 SALTS :
A substance formed by neutralization of an acid with a base is called a salt.
For e.g.
Ca (OH)2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2O
2Ca(OH)2 + 4HNO3 → 2Ci(NO3)2 + 2H2O
NaOH + HCI → NaCI + H2O
6.2 CLASIFFICATION OF SALTS :
Salts have been classified on the basis of chemical formulae as well as pH values.
6.2 (a) Classification Based on Chemical Formulae :
(i) Normal salts : A normal salt is the one which does not contain any ionsable hydrogen atom or
hydroxyl group. This means that it has been formed by the complete neutralisation of an acid by a base.
For e.g. NaCI, KCI, NaNO2, K2 SO4 etc.
(ii) Acidic salts : an acidic salt still contains some replaceable hydrogen atoms, This means that the
neutralisation of acid by the base is no complete. For example, sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHCO 4),
sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCI3) etc.
(iii) Basic salts : A basic salt still contains some replaceable hydroxyl groups. This means that the
neutralisation of base by the acid is not complete. For example, basic lead nitrate Pb (OH) NO3. basic lead
chloride, Pb(OH)CI etc.
6.2 (b) Classification Based on pH Values :
Salts are formed by the reaction between acids and bases. Depending upon the nature of the acids and
bases or upon the pH values, the salt solutions are of three types.
(i) Neutral salt solutions : Salt solutions of strong acids and strong bases are neutral and have pH
equal to 7. They do not change the colour of litmus solution.
For e.g. : NaCI, NaNO3, Na2SO4 etc.
(ii) Acidic salt solutions : Salt solutions of strong acids and weak bases are of acidic nature and have
pH less than 7. They change the colour of blue litmus solution to red.
For e.g. (NH4)2SO4, NH4CI etc.

In both these salts, the base NH 4OH is weak while the acids H 2SO4 and HCI are strong.
(iii) Basic salt solutions : Salt solutions of strong bases and weak acids are of basic nature and have
pH more than 7. They change the colour of red litmus solution to blue.


For e.g. Na2CO3,K3PO4 etc.
In both the salts, bases NaOH and KOH are strong while the acids H2CO3 and H 3PO4 are weak.
6.3 USES OF SALTS :
(i) As a table salt,
(ii) In the manufacture of butter and cheese.
(iii) In leather Industry.
(iv) In the manufacturing of washing soda and baking soda.
(v) For the preparation of sodium hydroxide by electrolysis of brine.
(vi) Rock salt is spread on ice to melt it in cold countries.
SOME IMPORTANT CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS :
6.4 SODIUM CHLORIDE - COMMON SALT (TABLE SALT) :
Sodium chloride (NaCI) also called common salt or table salt is the most essential part of our diet.
Chemically it is formed by the reaction between solutions of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Sea
water is the major source of sodium chloride where it is present in disserved form along with other soluble
salts such as chlorides and sulphates of calcium and magnesium. it is separated by some suitable methods.
Deposits of the salts are found in different part of the world and is known as rock salt. When pure, it is a
white crystalline solid, However, it is often brown due to the presence of impurities.
6.4 (a) Uses :
(i) Essential for life : Sodium chloride is quite essential for life. Biologically, it has a number of function to
perform such as in muscle contraction, in conduction of nerve impulse in the nervous system and is also
converted in hydrochloric acid which helps in the digestion of food in the stomach. When we sweat, there is
loss of sodium chloride along with water. It leads to muscle cramps. Its loss has to be compensated
suitably by giving certain salt preparations to the patient. Electrol powder is an important substitute of
common salt.
(ii) Raw material for chemical: Sodium chloride is also a very useful raw material for different chemical.
A few out of these are hydrochloric acid (HCI), washing soda (Na 2CO3.10H2O), baking soda (NaHCO 3) etc.
Upon electrolysis of a strong solution of the salt (brine), sodium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen are
obtained. Apart from these, it is used in leather industry for the leather tanning. In severe cold, rock salt is
spread on icy roads to melt ice. it is also used as fertilizer for sugar beet.
6.4 (b) Electrolysis of aqueous solution of NaCI :
Electrolys is
2NaCO (s) + 2H 2O ()  

6.6 BAKING SODA :

Baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate (NaCHO3).
6.6 (a) Preparation :
It is obtained as an intermediate product in the preparation of sodium carbonate by Solvay process. In this
process, a saturated solution of sodium chloride in water is saturated with ammonia and then carbon
dioxide gas is passed into the liquid. Sodium chloride is converted into sodium bicarbonate which, being
less soluble, separates out from the solution.

6.6 (b) Properties :
(i) It is a white, crystalline substance that forms an alkaline solution with water. The aqueous solution of
sodium bicarbonate is neutral to methyl orange but gives pink colour with phenolphthalein orange.
(Phenolphthalein and methyl orange are dyes used as acid-base indicators.)
(ii) When heated above 543 K, it is converted into sodium carbonate.

(ii) It is largely used in the treatment of acid spillage and in medicine as soda bicarb, which acts as an
antacid.
(iii) It is an important chemical in th textile, tanning, paper and ceramic industries.
(iv) It is also used in a particular type of fire extinguishers. The following diagram shows a fire extinguisher
that uses NaHCI and H SO to produce CO gas. The extinguisher consists of a conical metallic container
3 2 4 2
(A) with a nozzle (Z) at one end. A strong solution of NaHCO 3 is kept in the container. A glass ampoule (P)
containing H2SO 4 is attached to a knob (K) and placed inside the NaHCO3 solution. The ampoule can be
broken by hitting the knob. As soon as the acid comes in contact with the NaHCO 3 solution, CO2 gas is
formed. When enough pressure in built up inside the container, CO 2 gas rushes out through the nozzle (A).
Since CO2 does not support combustion, a small fire can be put out by pointing the nozzle towards the fire.
The gas is produced according to the following reaction.
2NaHCO3 (aq) + H 3SO4 (aq) 

6.9 HYDRATED SATLS - SALTS CONTAINING WATER OF CRYSTALLISATION:
Certain salts contain definite amount of some H 2O molecules loosely attached to their own molecules.
These are known as hydrated salts and are of crystalline nature. The molecules of H 2O present are known
as ‘water of c rystallisation’.
In colourd crystalline and hydrated salts, the molecules of water of crystallisation also account for their
characteristic colours. Thus, upon heating of hydrated salt, its colour changes since molecules of water of
crystallisation are removed and the salt becomes anhydrous, For e xample, take a few crystals of blue vitriol
i.e. hydrated copper sulphate in a dry test tube or boiling tube. Heat the tube from below. The salt will
change to a white anhydrous powder and water droplet will appear on the walls of the tube. Cool the tube
and add a few droops of water again. The white anhydrous powder will again acquire blue colour.

METALS AND NON-METALS
7.1 INTRODUCTION:
There are 118 chemical elements known at present. One the basis of their properties, all these elements
can be broadly divided into two main groups: Metals and Non-Metals. A majority of the known elements are
metals. All the metals are solids, except mercury, which is a liquid metal. There are 22 non-metals, out of
which, 10 non-metals are solids, one non-metal (bromine) is liquid and the remaining 11 non-metals are
gases.
7.2 POSITION OF METALS AND NON-METALS IN THE PERIODIC TABLE :
The metals are placed on the left hand side and in the centre of the periodic table. One the other hand, the
non-metals are placed on the right hand side of the periodic table. This has been shown in the figure. It may
be notedtable.
periodic that hydrogen (H) is an e xception because it is non-metal but is placed on the left hand side of the
Metals and non-metals are separated from each other in the periodic table by a zig-zag line. The elements
close to zig-zag line show properties of both the metals and the non-metals. They show some properties of
metals and some properties of non-metals. These are called metalloids. The common examples of
metalloids are boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te) and
polonium (Pi).
In general, the metallic character decreases on going from left to right side in the periodic table. However,
on going down the group, the metallic character increases.
The elements at the extreme left of the periodic table are most metallic
and those on the right are least metallic or non-metallic.


7.3 GENERAL PROPERTIES OF METALS AND NON-METALS :
7.3 (a) Electronic Configuration of Metals :
The atoms of metals have 1 to 3 electrons in their outermost shells. For example, all the alkali metals have
one electron in their outermost shells (lithium 2, 1; sodium 2,8,1: potassium 2,8,8,1 etc.)
Sodium, magnesium and aluminum are metals having 1,2 and 3 electrons respectively in their valence
shells. Similarly, other metals have 1 to 3 electron in their outermost shells.
It may be noted that hydrogen and helium are exception because hydrogen
is a non-metal having only electron in the outermost shell (K shell) of its
atom and helium is also a non-metal having 2 electron in the outermost shell
(K shell).
7.3 (b) Physical Properties of Metals:
The important physical properties of m etals are discussed below:
(i) Metals are solids at room temperature: All metals (except mercury) are solids at room
temperature.
MERCURY is a liquid at room temperature.
(ii) Metals are malleable: metals are generally malleable. Malleability means that the metals can be
beaten with a hammer into very thin sheets without breaking. Gold and silver are among the best malleable
metals. Aluminum and copper re also highly malleable metals.
(iii) Metals are ductile : It means that metals can be drawn (stretched) into this wires. Gold and silver
are the most ductile metals. Copper and aluminum are also very ductile, and therefore, these can be drawn
into this wires which are used in electrical wiring.
(iv) Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity: All metals are good conductors of heat.
The conduction of heat is called thermal conductivity. Silver is the best conductor of heat. Copper and
aluminum are also good conductors of heat and therefore, they are used for making household utensil.
Lead is the poorest conductor of heat. Mercury metal is also poor conductor of heat.
Metals are also good conductors of electricity. The electrical and thermal conductivities of metals are due to
the presence of free electrons in them. Among all the metals, silver is the best conductor electricity. Copper
and aluminum are the next best conductors of electricity. Since silver is expensive, therefore, copper and
aluminum are commonly used for making electric wires.
(v) Metals are lustrous and can be polished: Most of the metals have shine and they can be
polished. The shining appearance of metals is also known as metallic lustre. For example, gold, silver and
copper metals have metallic lustre.
SILVER is best conductor of heat and electricity.


(vi) Metals have high densities : Most of the metals are heavy and have high densities. For example,
-3
the density of mercury metal if very high (13.6 g cm ). However, there are some exceptions. Sodium,
potassium, magnesium and aluminum have low densities. Densities of metals are generally proportional to
their atomic masses. The smaller the metal atom, the smaller it its density.
(vii) Metals are hard : Most of the metals are hard. But all metals are not equally hard. Metals like iron,
copper, aluminum etc. are quite hard. They cannot be cut with a knife. Sodium and potassium are common
exceptions which are soft and can be easily cut with a knife.
(viii) Metals have high melting and boiling points : Most of the metals (except sodium and
potassium) have high melting and boiling points.
Tungsten has highest melting point (34100C) among all the metals.
(ix) Metals are rigid : Most of the metals are rigid and they have high tensile strength.
(x) Metals are sonorous: Most of the metals are sonorous i.e., they make sound when hit with an
object.
7.3 (c) Electronic Configuration of Non-Metals :

The atoms and non-metals have usually 4 to 8 electrons in their outermost shells. For example, Carbon (At.
No6), Nitrogen (At. No. 7), Oxygen (At. No.8 ), Fluorine (At. No. 9) and Neon (At. No. 10) have respectively
4,5,6,7,8 electrons in their outermost shells.
7.3 (d) Physical Properties Of Non-Metals:
The important physical properties of non-metals are listed below :
(i) Non-metals are brittle.
(ii) Non- metals are not ductile.
(iii) Non-metals are bad conductor of heat and electricity. (Exception: Graphite is a good conductor because
of the presence of free electrons.)
(iv) Non-metals are not lustrous and cannot be polished. (Exception: Graphite and Iodine are lustrous non-
metals.)
(v) Non-metals may be solid, liquid, or gases at room temperature.
(vi) Non-metals are generally soft. (Exception: Diamond, an allotropic from of non-metal Carbon, is the
hardest natural substance known).
(vii) Non-metals have generally low melting and boiling points. (Exception: Graphite another allotropic form
of Carbon, has a melting point of about 3730 0C).
(viii) Non-metals have low densities. (Exception : Iodine has high density).
Graphite is a good conductor of electricity, lustrous and has very high

melting point.


7.3 (e) Chemical Properties of Metals :
The atoms of the metals have usually 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost shells. These outermost
electrons are loosely held by their nuclei. Therefore, the metal atoms can easily lose their outermost
electrons to from positively charged ions. For example, sodium metal can lose outermost one electron to
form positively charged ions, Na +. After losing the outermost electron, it gets stable electronic configuration
2+
of the noble gas (Ne : 2, 8 ), Similarly, magnesium can lose
3+ two outermost electron to from Mg ions and
aluminum can lose its three outermost electrons to from Al ions.
Na Na+ + e-

2+
Mg Mg + 2e-
(2, 8, 2) (2, 8)
Al Al3+ + 3e-
(2, 8, 3) (2, 8)
The metal atoms lose electrons and form positively charged ions, therefore,
the metals are called electropositive elements.
Some of the important chemical properties of metals are discussed below :
(i) Reaction with oxygen : Metals react with oxygen to from oxides. These oxides are basic in nature.
For example, sodium metal reacts with oxygen of the air and form sodium oxide.
]
4 Na(s) + O 2(g) 
→ 2 Na3O(s)
Sodium oxide
Sodium oxide reacts with water to form and alkali called sodium hydroxide. Therefore, sodium oxide is a
basic oxide.
Na2O(s) + H32O ( ) 
→ 2NaOH(aq)
Sodium hydroxide
Due to the formation of sodium hydroxide (which is an alkali), the solution of sodium oxide in water turns red
litmus blue (common property of all alkaline solutions).
When metal oxides are dissolved in water, they give alkaline solutions.
Similarly, magnesium is a metal and it reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. However, magnesium
is less reactive than sodium and therefore, heat is required for the reaction.

palace.
Reactivity of metals with oxygen:
All metals do not react with oxygen with equal ease. The reactivity of oxygen depends upon the nature of
the metal. Some metals react with oxygen even at room temperature, some react on on heating while
still others react only on strong heating.


For example :
(A) Metals like sodium, potassium and calcium react with oxygen even at room temperature to form their
oxides.
4Na(s) + O2(g) 
→ 2 Na2O(s)
Sodium Oxygen Sodium oxide
4K (s) + O2(g) 
→ 2K2O(s)
Potassium Oxygen Potassium oxide
2Ca(s) + O2(g) 
→ 2 CaO(s)
Calcium Oxygen Calcium oxide
(B) Metals like magnesium and zinc do not react with oxygen at room temperature. They burn in air only on
strong heating to from corresponding oxides.
Heat
2Mg(s) + O2(g)    → 2MgO(s)
Magnesium Oxygen Magnesium oxide
Heat
2 Zn(s) + O2(g)    → 2 ZnO(s)
Zinc Oxygen Zinc oxide
(C) Metals like iron and copper do not burn in air even on strong heating. However, they react with oxygen
only on prolonged heating.
Heat
3Fe(s) + 2O 2(g)    → Fe 3O4(s)
Iron Oxygen Iron (II, III) oxide
Heat
2 Cu(s) + O2(g)    → 2CuO(s)
Copper Oxygen Copper (II) oxide
(ii) Reaction with water : Metals react with water to form m etal oxide or metals hydroxide and hydrogen.
The reactivity of metals towards water depends upon the nature of the metals. Some m etals react even with
cold water, some react with water only on heating while there are some metals do not react even with
steam. For example,
(A) Sodium and potassium metals react vigorously with cold water to form sodium hydroxide and
hydrogen gas is liberated.
2 Na(s) + 2H2O ( ) 
→ 2NaOH(aq) + H 2(g)
Sodium Cold water Sodium Hydrogen

2K (s) + 2H2O ( ) 
→ 2KOH (aq) + H 2 (g)

The reaction between sodium and water is so violent that the hydrogen
evolved catches fire.
(B) Calcium reacts with cold water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is
less violent.

→
Ca (s) + 2H2O ( ) Ca (OH)2 (aq) + H2(g)
Calcium Cold water calcium hydroxide
(C) Magnesium reacts very slowly with cold water but reacts rapidly with hot boiling water forming
magnesium oxide and hydrogen.

→ MgO(s) + H2(g)

Aluminum Steam Aluminum oxide
(E) Iron metal does not react with water under ordinary conditions. The reactions occurs only when steam is
passed over red hot iron and the products are iron (II, III) oxide and hydrogen.
3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) 

→ Fe 3O4(s) + 4H2(g)
Iron Steam Iron (II,III) Hydrogen
(Red hot) oxide
(F) Metals like copper, silver and gold do not react with water even under strong conditions. The order of
reactivities of different metals with water is :
Na > Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu

Reactivety with water decreases
(iii) Reaction with dilute acids : Many metals react with dilute acids and liberate hydrogen gas. Only less reactive
metals such as copper, silver, gold etc. do into liberate hydrogen from dilute acids. The reactions of metals with
dilute hydrochloric acid (HCI) and dilute sulphuric acid (H 2SO4) are similar. With dil. HCI, they given metal chlorides
and hydrogen whereas with dil. H2SO4, they give metal sulphates and hydrogen.
Dilute nitric acid (HNO3) is an oxidising agent which oxidises metals, but does not produce
hydrogen.
The reactivity of different metals is different with the same acid. For example:
(A) Sodium, magnesium and calcium react violently with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCI) or dilute sulphuric
acid (H 2SO4) liberating hydrogen gas and corresponding metal salt.
2Na(s) + 2HCI (aq) 

→ 2NaCI(aq) + H 2(g)
Sodium Hydrochloric Sodium Hydrogen

→ MgCI2(aq) + H 2(g)

Similarly,
2AI (s) + 6HCI (aq) 
→ 2AICI3(aq) + 3H2(g)
Aluminum Sulphuric Aluminum Hydrogen
acid sulphate
(B) Iron react slowly with dilute HCI or dil. H 2SO4 and therefore, it is less reactive than zinc and aluminum.
Fe(s) + 2HCI(aq) 

→ FeCI2(aq) + H 2(g)
Iron Hydrochloric Ferrous chloride Hydrogen
acid
Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) 

→ FeSO4(aq) + H 2(g)
Iron Sulphuric Ferrous sulphate Hydrogen
acid
(C) Copper does not react with dill. HCI or dill H2SO4.

Cu(s) + HCI (aq) 
→ No reaction
Cu(s) + H2SO4(aq) 
→ No reaction
Therefore copper is even less reactive that iron.
The order of reactivity of different metals with dilute acid:
Na > Mg > AI > Zn > Fe > Cu
Reactivity with dill acids decreases from sodium to copper.
(iv) Reactions of metals with salt solutions: When a more reactive metals is placed in a salt solution of less
reactive metal, then the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from its salt solution. For example, we
will take a solution of copper sulphate (blue coloured solution) and put a strip of zinc metal in the solution. It is
observed that the blue colour of copper sulphate fades gradually and copper metals are deposited on the zinc strip.
this means that the following reaction occurs :
Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) 
→ ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
Zinc Copper sulphate Zinc sulphate Copper
(Blue solution) (Colourless solution)
Here, zinc displaces copper from its salt solution.

However, if we take zinc sulphate solution and put a string of copper metal in this solution, no reaction occurs.
ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) 
→ No reaction
Zinc sulphate Copper
This means that copper cannot displace zinc metal from its solution. Thus, we can conclude that zinc is more
reactive than copper. However, if we put gold or platinum strip in the copper sulphate solution, then copper is not
displaced by gold or platinum. Thus, gold and platinum are less reactive than copper.


7.4 REACTIVITY SERIES OF METALS:
7.4 (a) Introduction:
We have learnt that some metals are chemically very reactive while others are less reactive or do not react
at all.
On the basis of reactivity of different metals with oxygen, water acids as well as displacement reactions, the
metals have been arranged in the decreasing order of their reactivities.
The arrangement of metals in order of decreasing reactivities is called reactivity series or activity series of
metals.
The activity series of some common metals is given in Table. In this table, the most reactive metal is
placed at the top whereas the least reactive metal is placed at the bottom. As we go down the series the
chemical reactivity of metals decreases.

7.4 (b) Reasons for Different Reactivities:
In the activity series of metals, the basis of reactivity is the tendency of metals to lose electrons. If a metals
can lose electrons easily to form positive ions, it will react readily with other substances. Therefore, it will be
a reactive metal. On the other hand, if a metal loses electrons less rapidly to form a positive ion, it will react
slowly with the other substances. Therefore, such a metal will be less reactive. For example, alkali metals
such as sodium and potassium lose electrons very readily to from alkali metal ions, therefore, they are very
reactive.
7.4 (c) Displacement of Hydrogen from Acids by Metals :
All metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series (i.e. more active than hydrogen) like zinc, magnesium,
nickel can liberate hydrogen from acids like HCI and H 2SO4. These metals have greater tendency to lose
electrons than hydrogen. Therefore, the H + ions in the acids will accept electrons and give hydrogen gas
as :


M → M+ (aQ) + e-

Metals
H+ (aq) + e - 
→ H
(From acid)
H +H 
→ H2 ↑
The metals which are below hydrogen in the reactivity series (i.e. les reactive than hydrogen) like copper,
silver, gold cannot liberate hydrogen form ac ids like HCI, H 2SO4 etc. These metals have lesser tendency to
lose electrons than hydrogen. Therefore, they cannot lose electrons to H+ ions.
7.4 (d) Reactivity Series and Displacement Reactions :
The reactivity series can also explain displacement reactions. In general, a more reactive metal (placed
higher in the activity series) can displace the less reactive metal from its solution. For example, zinc,
displaces copper form its solution.
Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) 
→ ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu(s)
7.4 (e) Usefulness of Activity Series:
The activity series is very useful and it g ives the following information:
(i) The metal which is higher in the activity series is more reactive than the other. Lithium is the most
reactive and platinum is the least reactive.
(ii) The metals which have been placed above hydrogen are more reactive than hydrogen and these can
displace hydrogen from its compounds like water and acids to liberate hydrogen gas.
(iii) The metals which are placed below hydrogen are less reactive than hydrogen and these cannot
displace hydrogen from its compounds like water and acids.
(iv) A more reactive metal (placed higher in the activity series) can displace the less reactive metal from its
solution.
(v) Metals at the top of the series are very reactive and, therefore, they do not occur free in nature. The
metals at the bottom of the series are least reactive and, therefore, they normally occur free in nature. For
example, gold, present in the reactivity series is found in Free State in nature.

8.1 HOW METALS REACT WITH NON-METALS :
Octet Rule : Octet rule was given by G.N. Lewis and W.Kossel in 1916.
According to actet rule “an atom whose outermost shell contains 8 electrons (octet) is
stable.”
This rule, however, does not hold good in case of certain small atoms like helium (He) in which presence of
2 electrons (duplet) in the outermost shell in considered to be the condition of stability.
Examples of elements whose atoms have fully filled or 8 e- in their outermost shell are –
Element Symbol Atomic Electronic No. of valence

Number configuration electrons
Neon Ne 10 2,8 8
Argon Ar 18 2,8,8 8
Krypton Kr 36 2,8,18,8 8
All noble gases contain 8 valence electrons (except He in which 2 valence

electrons are present) and are stable. They do not usually form bonds with
other elements.
Atoms combine with one another to achieve the inert gas electron arrangement and become stable. Atoms
from chemical bonds to achieve stability by acquiring the inert gas configuration or by completing their octet
or duplet (in case of small atoms) in outermost shell. An atom can achieve the inert gas electron
arrangement in three ways -
(i) by losing one or more electrons .
(ii) by gaining one or more electrons.
(iii) by sharing one or more electrons.
Noble gases do not usually from bonds with other elements. because
they are stable. So. atoms of elements have the tendency to combine
with one another to achieve the inert gas configuration.


8.2 CONCEPT OF IONIC BOND :
Except the elements of group 18 of the periodic table all the elements for the remaining group, at normal
temperature and pressure, are not stable in independent state. These elements from stable compounds
either by combining with the other atoms or with their own atoms. When in gross electronic configuration of
the elements there are 8 electrons present then these elements do not take part in the chemical reaction
because atoms containing 8 electrons in their outermost shell are associated with extra stability and less
energy.
Atoms with other electronic configuration, which do not contain eight electrons in their outermost shell, are
unstable and to achieve the stability they chemically combine in such a manner that they achieve eight
electrons in their outermost shell.
Two or more than two types of atoms mutually combine with each other to achieve stable configuration of
eight valence electrons. Attempt to achieve eight electrons in the outermost orbit of a element is the reason
behind its chemical reactivity or chemical bonding.
8.3 IONIC OR ELECTROVALENT BOND:
This bond is formed by the atoms of electropositive and electronegative elements. Electropositive elements
lose electrons in chemical reaction and electronegative elements gain electrons in chem ical reaction. When
an atom of electropositive element come in contact with that of an electronegative element then the
electropositive atom loses electron & becomes positively charged, while the electronegative atom gains the
electron to become negatively charged. Electrostatic force of attractions works between the positively and
negatively charged ions due to which both ions are bonded with each other. As a result, a chemical bond is
produced between the ions, which is known as Ionic or Electrovalent compound.
Number of electrons donated or accepted by any element is called

Electrovalence.
In an ionic compound every cation is surrounded by a fixed number of anions and every anion is
surrounded by a fixed number of cations and they are bonded in a fixed geometry in a three dimensional
structure.
Example : Sodium chloride compound.

Sodium atom (Electropositive element) by losing an electron from its outermost orbit, gets converted into a
cation and attains noble gas like stable configuration.
Energy required for this process is called “ionization potential.”
X
→ Na + + e −
Na + IE 
(2, 8, 1) (2, 8)


Chlorine atom (Electronegative element) accepts the electron donated by sodium atom in its outermost orbit
and forms chloride anion.
In this process energy is released which is known as “electron affinity.”
(2, 8, 7) (2, 8, 8)
Due to the opposite charges on the Na + and CI- ions, they are bonded by electrostatic force of attraction to
from NaCI compound.
-
Na+ + CI- 
→ [Na]+ [CI] or NaCI
Here electrovalent of sodium and chlorine atom is one.
For the formation of ionic bond, it is necessary that the ionization potential
of electropositive element should be less and the electron affinity of
electronegative element should be high.
8.3 (a) Properties of Ionic Compounds:

(i) Ionic compounds consist of ions: All ionic compounds consist of positively and negatively
charged ions and not molecules. For example, sodium chloride consists of Na + and CI- ions, magnesium
2+
fluoride consists of Mg and F- ions and so on.
(ii) Physical nature : Ionic compounds are solid and relatively hard due to strong electrostatic force of
attraction between the ions of ionic compound.
(iii) Crystal structure : X-ray studies have shown that ionic compounds do not exist as simple single
molecules as Na+CI-, This is due to the fact that the forces of attraction are not restricted to single unit such
as Na+ and CI- but due to uniform electric field around and ion, each ion is attracted to a large number of
other ions. For example, one Na + ion will not attract only one CI- ion but it can attract as many negative

in diagram. Such As a result,
a regular there is a isregular
arrangements called
crystal lattice.
Lattice structure of Sodium chloride


(iv) Melting point and boiling point : Strong electrostatic force of attraction if present between ions of
opposite charges. To break the crystal lattice more energy is required so their melting points and boiling
points are high.
(v) Solubility : Ionic compounds are generally soluble in polar solvents like water and insoluble in no -
polar solvents like carbon tetrachloride, benzene, ether alcohol etc.
(vi) Brittle nature: Ionic compounds on applying external force or pressure are broken into small pieces,
such substances are known as brittle and this property is known as brittleness. When external force is
applied on the ionic compound, layers of ions slide over one another and particles of the same charge come
near to each other as a result due to the strong repulsion force, crystals of compounds are broken.
BRITTLE NATURE OF IONIC COMPOUNDS
(vii) Electrical conductivity : Electrical conductivity in any substance is due to the movement of free
electrons of ions. In metals electrical conductivity is due to the free movement of valency electrons. As ionic
compound exhibits electrical conductivity due to the movement of ions either in the fused state or in the
soluble state in the polar solvent. But in the solid state due to strong electrostatic force of attraction free ions
are absent so they are insulator in the solid state.

9.1 OCCURRENCE OF METALS :
All metals are present in the earth’s crust either in the free state or in the form of their compounds.
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. The second most abundant metal is iron and thier
one is calcium.
9.1 (a) Native and Combined State of Metals :
Metals occur in the crust of earth in the following two states -
(i) Native state of free state: A metal is said to occur in a free or a native state when it is found in the
crust of the earth in the elementary or uncombined form.
The metals which are very uncreative (lying at the bottom of activity series) are found in the free stae.
These have no tendency to react with oxygen and are not attacked by moisture, carbon dioxide of air or
other no-metals. Silver, copper, gold and platinum are some examples of such metals.
(ii) Combines state : A metal is said to occur in a combined state if it is found in nature in the form of its
compounds. e.g. Sodium, magnesium etc. Copper and silver are metals which occur in the free state as
well as in the combined state.
9.2 MINERALS AND ORES :
The natural substances in which metals or their compounds occur either in native state or combined state
are called minerals.
The minerals are not pure and contain different types of other impurities. The impurities associated with
minerals are collectively known as gangue or matrix.
The mineral from which the metal can be conveniently and profitably extracted, is called an ore.
For example, aluminum occurs in the earth’s crust in the form of two minerals, bauxite (AI2,O3. 2H 2O) and
caly (AI2O3. 2SiO2. 2H 2O). Out of these two, aluminum can be conveniently and profitably extracted from
bauxite. So, bauxite is an are of aluminum.
Oxygen is the most abundant element on earth’s crust.


9.2 (a) Types of Ores :
The most common ores of metals are oxides, sulphides, carbonates, sulphates, halides, etc. In general,
very uncreative metals (such as gold, silver, platinum etc.) occur in elemental form or Free State.
(i) Metals which are only slightly reactive occur as sulphides (e.g., CuS, Pbs etc.).
(ii) Reactive metals occur as oxides (e.g., MnO2, AO2O3 etc.)
(iii) Most reactive metals occur as salts as carbonates, subparts, halides etc.

9.3 METALLURGY:
The process of extracting pure metals from their ores and then refining them for use is called metallurgy.
In other words, the process of metallurgy involves extraction of metals from their ores and then refining
them from use. The ores generally contain unwanted impurities such as sand, stone, earthy particles,
limestone, mica, etc., these are called gangue or matrix.
The process of metallurgy depends upon the nature of the ore, nature of the metals and they types of
impurities present. Therefore, there is not a single method for the extraction of all metals. However, most of
the metals can e extracted by a general procedure which involves the following steps.
Various steps involved in metallurgical processes are -
(a) Crushing and grinding of the ore.
(b) Concentration of the ore or enrichment of the ore.
(c) Extraction of metal from the concentrated ore.
(d) Refining or purification of the impure metal.


These steps are briefly discussed below -
9.3 (a) Crushing and Grinding of Ore :
Most of the ores occur as big rocks in nature. They are broken into small pieces with the help of crusher.
These pieces are then reduced to fine powder with the help of a ball mill or a stamp mill.
9.3 (b) Concentration of Ore or Enrichment of Ore :

The process of removal of unwanted impurities (gangue) from the ore is called ore concentration or ore
enrichment.
(i) Hydraulic washing (washing with water) :

Principle: This method is based upon the difference in the densities of the ore particles and the impurities
(gangue).
Ores of iron, tin and lead are very heady and, therefore, they are concentrated by this method.
(ii) Front floatation process:

Principle: this method is based on the principle of difference in the wetting properties of the ore and gangue
particles with water and oil.
This method is commonly used for sulphide ores.
(iii) Magnetic separation :

Principle: This method depends upon the difference in the magnetic properties of the ores and gangue.
This method is used for the concentration of heamatite, an ore of iron.
The froth floatation process if commonly used for the sulphide ores
copper, zinc, lead etc.

10.1 EXTRACTION OF THE METAL FROM THE CONCENTRATED ORE :
The metal is extracted from the concentrated ore by the following steps :
(a) Conversion of the concentrated ore into its oxide : The production of metal from the concentrated ore
mainly involves reduction process. This can be usually done by two processes known as calcination and
roasting process. The method depends upon the nature of the ore.
(b) Conversion of oxide to metal y reduction process
10.1 (a) Conversion of Ore into Metal Oxide :
These are briefly discussed below :
(i) Calcination : It is the process of heating the concentrated ore in the absence of air.
The calcination process is used for the following changes :
 to convert carbonate ores into metal oxide.
 to remove water from the hydrated ores.
 to remove volatile impurities from the ore.
For example
Calcination
ZnCO3(s)      → ZnO(s) + CO2(g)
Zinc carbonate Zinc oxide carbon dioxide
Calcination
FeCO (s)      → FeO(s) + CO (g)
3 2
Siderite Iron (I) oxide Carbon dioxide
(ii) Roasting : It is the process of heating the concentrated ore strongly in the presence of excess air.
This process is used for converting sulphide ores to metal oxide. In this process, the following changes take
place :
 the sulphide ores undergo o xidation to their oxides.
 moisture is removed
 volatile impurities are removed.
For example :
Roasting
2ZnS + 3O     → 2ZnO(s) + 2SO (g)
2 2
Zing Oxygen Zinc oxide Sulphur

(Zinc blende ore) (From air)
Roasting
4FeS2(s) + 110 2(g)     → 2Fe 2O3(s) + 8SO2(g)
Iron pyrites Oxygen Ferric oxide Sulphur
Dioxide

Calcination is used for hydrated and carbonate ores and roasting is used for
sulphide ores.
10.1 (b) Conversion of Metal Oxide to Metal:
The metal oxide formed after calcination or roasting is converted into metal by reduction. The method used
for reduction of metal oxide depends upon the nature and chemical reactivity of metal.
The metals can be grouped into the following three categories on the basis for their reactivity:
 Metals of low reactivity.
 Metals of medium reactivity.
 Metals of high reactivity.
These different categories of metals are extracted by different technique. the different steps involved in
separation are as follows :
(i) Reduction by heating : Metals placed low in the reactivity series are very less reactive. They can be
obtained from their oxides by simple heating in air.
Roasting
2HgS(s) + 3O 2(g)     → 2HgO(s) + 2SO2(g)
Mercuric Oxygen Mercuric oxide Sulphur dioxide

sulphide
Roasting
2HgO(s)     → 2Hg ( ) + O2(g)
Mercuric oxide Mercury metal Oxygen
(ii) Chemical Reduction (For metals in the middle of the reactivity series):
The metals n the middle of the reactivity series, such as iron, zinc, lead, copper etc. are moderately
reactive. These are usually present as sulphides or carbonates. Therefore, before reduction the metal
sulphides and carbonates must be converted to oxides. This is done by roasting and calcination. The oxides
of these metals cannot be reduced by heating alone. Therefore, these metal oxides are reduced to free
metal by using chemical agents like carbon, aluminum, sodium or calcium.
(A) Reduction with carbon : The oxides of moderately reactive metals (occurring in the meddle
of reactivity series) like zinc, copper, nickel, tin, lead etc. can be reduced by using carbon as
reducing agent.
Heat
AnO(s) + C(s)    → Zn (s) + CO(g)
Zinc oxide Carbon Zinc Carbon

Lead oxide Carbon Lead metal Carbon

One disadvantage of using carbon as reducing agent is that small traces of carbon are added to
metal as impurity. Therefore, it contaminates the metals.
Coke is very commonly used as a reducing agent because it is cheap.
(B) Reduction with carbon monoxide: Metals can be obtained from oxides by reduction with carbon
monoxide in the furnace.
Heat
Fe 2O3(s) + 3CO(g)    → 2Fe(s) + 3CO 2(g)
Ferric oxide Carbon Iron Carbon

(C) Reduction with aluminum : Certain metal oxides are reduced by aluminum to metals.
Heat

Manganese Aluminum Manganese Aluminum

dioxide oxide
Heat
Cr2O3(s) + 2AI (s)    → 2Cr (s) + AI2O3 (s)
Chromium Aluminum Chromium Aluminum
oxide oxide
Reduction of metals oxides with aluminum is known as aluminothermy or

thermite process.
(iii) Reduction of electrolysis or electrolytic reduction : The oxide of active metals (which are
high up in the activity series) are very stable and cannot be reduced by carbon or aluminum.
These metals are commonly extracted by the electrolysis of their fused salts using suitable
electrodes. This is also called electrolytic reduction i.e. reduction by electrolysis.
For example, aluminum oxide is very stable and aluminum cannot be prepared by reduction with
carbon. It is prepared by the electrolysis of molten alumina (AI2O3).
3+ Heat
AI + 3e-    → AI
Aluminum ion Electron Aluminum
(From molten alumina) (From cathode) (At cathode)
It may be noted that during electrolytic reduction of molten salts, the metals are always obtained at
the cathode (negative electrode).
The process of extraction of metals by electrolysis process is called

electrometallurgy.


10.2 PURIFICATION OR REFINING OF METALS :
The metal obtained any of the above methods is usually impure and is k nown as crude metal. The process
of purifying the crude metal is called refining.
10.2 (a) Liquation :
This method is use for refining the metals having low melting points, such as tin, lead, bismuth etc. This is
based on the principle that the metal to be refined is easily fusible (melt easily (but the impurities do not
fuse easily.
10.2 (b) Distillation:
This method is used for the purification of volatile metals (which form vapours readily) such as mercury
and zinc.
10.2 (c) Electrolytic Refining :
This is most general and widely used method for the refining of impure metals. Many metals such as
copper, zinc, tin, nickel, silver, gold etc. are refined electrolytically. It is based upon the phenomenon of
electrolysis.

11.1 CORROSION OF METALS :
Surface of many metals is easily attacked when exposed to atmosphere. The react with air or water
present in the environment and form undesirable compounds on their surface. These undesirable
compounds are generally oxides.
Thus, corrosion is a process of deterioration of metal as a result of its reaction with air or water (present in
environment) surrounding it.
11.1 (a) Corrosion of Iron:
iron corrodes readily when exposed to moisture and gets covered with a brown flaky substance called
rust. This is also called Rusting of Iron. Chemically, the rust if hydrated iron (III) oxide, Fe 2O3.XH2O.
Rusting is an oxidation process in which iron metal is slowly oxidized by the action of air (in presence of
water). Therefore, rusting of iron takes place under the following conditions :
 Presence of air (or oxygen)
 Presence of water (moisture)
More the reactivity of the metal, the more will be the possibility of the metal
getting corroded.
(i) Experiment to show that rusting of iron requires both air and water -
We take three test tubes and put one clean iron nail in each of the three test tubes :
(A) In the first test tube containing iron nail, we put some anhydrous calcium chloride to absorb
water (or moisture) from the damp air present in the test tube and make it dry.
(B) In the second test tube containing iron nail, we put boiled water because boiled water does not
contain any dissolved air or oxygen in it. A layer of oil is put over boiled water in the test tube to
prevent the outside air from mixing with boiled water.
(C) In the third test tube containing an iron nail, we put unboiled water so that about two-third of
the nail is immersed in water and the rest is above water e xposed to damp air.
After one week, we observe the iron nails kept in all the three test tubes.

Rusting of iron
(ii) We will obtain the following observations from the experiment :
(A) doesin
No rust

not onplace
takes the surface of iron nail kept in dry air in the first test tube. This tells us that rusting
in air alone.
(B) No rust is seen on the surface of iron nail kept in air free boiled water in the second test tube, This tells
us that rusting of iron does not take place in water alone.
(C) Red brown rust is seen on the surface of iron nail kept in the presence of the air and water in the third
test tube. This tells us that rusting of iron takes place in the presence of both air and water together.
(iii) Prevention of rusting
(A) Corrosion of metals can be prevented by coating the metal surface with a thin layer of pant, varnish or
grease.
(B) Iron is protected from rusting by coating it with a thin layer of another metal which is more reactive that
iron. This prevents the loss of electrons from iron because the active metal loses electrons in process of
covering iron with zinc is called galvanization. Iron is also coated with other metals such as tin known as
tin coating.
(C) By alloying: Some metals when alloyed with other metals become more resistant to corrosion. For
example, when iron is alloyed with chromium and nickel, it form stainless steel. This is resistant to corrosion
and does not rust at all.
(D) To decrease rusting of iron, certain antirust solutions are used. For example, solutions of alkaline
phosphates are used as antirust solutions.
11.1 (b) Corrosion of Aluminum :
Due to the formation of a dull layer of aluminum oxide when exposed to moist air, the aluminum metal loses
its shine very soon after use. This aluminum oxide layer is very tough and prevents the metal underneath
from further corrosion (because moist air is not able to pass through this aluminum oxide layer). This means
sometimes corrosion is useful.
11.1 (c) Corrosion of Copper
When a copper object remains in damp air for a considerable time, then copper reacts slowly with carbon
dioxide and water of air to form a green coating of basic copper carbonate [CuCO 3, Cu(OH(2] on the
surface of the object. Since copper metal is low in the reactivity series, the corrosion of copper metal is
very, very slow.
11.1 (d) Corrosion of Silver :
Silver is a highly uncreative metal, so it does not reacts with oxygen of air easily. But, air usually contains a
little of sulphur compounds such as hydrogen sulphide gas (H 2S), which react slowly with silver to form a
black coating of silver sulphide (Ag2S). Silver ornaments gradually turn black due to the formation of a
thin silver sulphide layer on their surface and silver is said to be tarnished.


11.2 ALLOYS :
An alloy is a homogenous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal. For example, iron is
the most widely used metal. But it is never used in the pure form. this is because iron is very soft and
stretches easily when not. But when it is mixed with a small amount of carbon (about 0.05%), it becomes
hard and strong. The new form of iron is called steel.
11.2 (a) Objective of Ally Making :
Alloys are generally prepared to have certain specified properties which are not possessed by the contituent
metals. The main objects of ally-making are :
(i) To increase resistance to corrosion : For example, stainless steel is prepared which has more
resistant to corrosion than iron.
(ii) To modify chemical reactivity : The chemical reactivity of sodium is decreased by making an alloy
with mercury which is known as sodium am algam.
(iii) To increase the hardness: Steel, an alloy of iron and carbon is harder than iron.
(iv) To increase tensile strength: Magnesium is an alloy or magnesium and aluminum.

It has greater tensile strength as compared to magnesium and aluminum.
(v) To produce good casting: Type metal is an alloy of lead, tin and mercury.
(vi) To lower the melting point: For example, solder is an alloy of lead and tin (50) Pb and 50% Sn). It has
a low melting point and is used for welding electrical wires together.
11.2 (b) Some Important Alloys :
The approximate composition and used of some important alloys are given below :
(i) Steel : Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon containing 0.1 to 1.5% carbon. Steel is very hard, tough
and strong. It is used for making rails, screws, girders, bridges, railway lines etc. Steel can also be used for
the contraction for building, vehicles, ships etc.
(ii) Allow Steels : Steel obtained by the addition of some other elements such as chromium, vanadium,
titanium, molybdenum, manganese, cobalt or nickel to carbon steel are called Ally Steel.
(iii) Alloys of Aluminum : This common alleys of aluminum are :
(A) Duralumin. It is an alloy containing aluminum, copper and traces of magnesium and
manganese. Its


percentage composition is - AO\I 95%, Cu = 4%, Mg = 0.5 % Mn = 0.5 % It is stronger than pure
aluminum, Since duralumin is light and yet strong, it is used for making bodies of aircrafts,
helicopter, jets and kitchenware’s like pressure cookers etc.
(B) Magnesium. It is an alloy of aluminum and magnesium having the composition: Al - 95%, Mg
= 5% It is very light and hard. It is more hard than pure aluminum. It is used for making light
instruments, balance beams, pressure cookers etc.
(C) Alnico . It is an alloy containing aluminum, iron nickel, and cobalt. It is highly magnetic in nature
and can be used for making powerful magnets.
(iv) Alloys of Copper: The important alloys of copper are Brass and Bronze.
(A) Brass - It is an alloy of copper and zinc having the composition = Cu = 80% Zn = 20% Brass is
more malleable and more strong than pure copper. It is used for making cooking utensils,
condenser sheets, pipes, hardware, nuts, bolts, screws, springs etc.
(B) Bronze - It is an alloy of copper and tin having the composition : Cu = 90% Sn = 10% Bronze is
very though and highly resistant to corrosion. It is used for making utensils, statues, cooling pipes,
coins, hardware etc.
(C) German Silver - It is an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel having the composition: Cu = 60%, Zn
= 20%, Ni = 20%. It is used for m aking silverware, utensils and for electroplating.
(v) Alloying of Gold : Pure gold is very soft and cannot be used as such for jewellery. Therefore, it
is generally alloyed with other metals commonly copper or silver to make it harder and modify its
colour. The purity of gold is expressed as carats. Pure gold is of 24 carat. A 18 carat gold means
that is contains 18 parts of gold is 24 parts by weight of alloy. Most of the jewellery is made of 22
carat gold.
Amalgams are homogenous mixtures of a metal and mercury. For example, sodium amalgam contains
sodium and mercury.
Different amalgams are prepared according to their used. For example,
(i) Sodium amalgam is produced to decrease the chemical reactivity of sodium metal.
It is also used as a good reducing agent.
(ii) Tin amalgam is used for silvering cheap mirrors.
(iii) The process of amalgamation is used for the extraction of metals like godl or silver from their native
ores.

CARBON AND
ITS COMPOUNDS 
12.1 INTRODUCTION:
Organic compounds: The compounds like urea, sugars, fats, oils, dyes, proteins vitamins etc., which were
isolated directly or indirectly from living or indirectly from living organism such as animals and plants were
called organic compounds. The branch of chemistry which deals with the study of these compounds is
called ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.
12.2 BONDING IN CARBON = THE COVALENT BOND :
Most carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity. The boiling and melting points of the carbon
compounds are low. Forces of attraction between these molecules of organic compounds are not very
strong/ As these compound are largely non conductors of electricity hence the bonding in these compound
does not give rise to any ions.
The reactivity of elements if explained at their tendency to attain a completely filled outer shell, that is, attain
noble gas configuration. Element forming ionic compounds achieve this by either gaining or losing electrons
from the outermost shell. In the case of carbon, it has four electrons in its outermost shell and needs to gain
or lose four electrons to attain noble gas configuration. It is were to gain or lose electrons –
(i) it could gain four electrons forming C4- anion. But it would be difficult for the nucleus with six
protons to hold on to ten electrons, that is, four extra electrons.
(ii) It could lose four electrons forming C4+ cation. But it would require a large amount of energy to
remove four electrons leaving behind a carbon cation with six protons in its nucleus holding on to
just two electrons.
12.2 (a) Some Simple Molecules Formed by the Sharing of Valence Electrons are s follows:
(i) Hydrogen molecules: This is the simplest molecule formed by sharing of elec trons. The atomic number
of hydrogen is 1 and it has only one electron is its outermost K shell. It required only one more electron to
complete the K shell. So, when two hydrogen atoms approach each other, the single electron of both the
atoms form a shared pair. This may be represented as:


x

H + H → H•xH
 or H2 or H - H

According to Lewis notation, the electrons in the valence shell are represented by dots and crosses. This
method was proposed by G.N.Lewis and is known as Lewis representation or Lewis structure. The shared
pair of electron (show x) is said to constitute a single bond between the two hydrogen atoms and is
represented by a line between the two atoms. Pictorially, the molecule can be represented by drawing two
overlapping circles around the symbols of the atoms and showing the shared pair of electrons in the
overlapping part.
(ii) Chlorine molecule : Each chlorine atom has seven electrons in its outermost shell. When the two
chlorine atoms come close together, an electron of both the atoms is shared between them.

(iii) Hydrogen chloride molecule: It may be note that a covalent bond is not only formed between two
similar atoms, but it may be formed between dissimilar atoms also. For example, hydrogen and chlorine
form a covalent bond between their atoms. In HCI, hydrogen atom (1) has only one electron in its valence
shell and chlorine atom (2,8,7) has seven electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, by mutual sharing of
electron pair between hydrogen and a chlorine atom. Both the atoms acquit nearest noble gas
configuration.

(iv) Formation of water molecule (H 2O) : Each hydrogen atom has only one electron in its outermost
shell. Therefore, each hydrogen atom required one more electron to achieve the stable configuration of
helium (nearest noble gas). The oxygen atom has the electronic configuration 2,6 and has six electrons in
its outermost shell. It needs two electrons to complete its octet. Therefore, one atom of oxygen shares its
electrons with two hydrogen atoms.

(v) Formation of methane molecule (CH 4) : Methane (CH 4) is a covalent compound containing covalent
bonds. Carbon atom has atomic number 6. Its electronic configuration is 2,4. It has four electrons in its
valence shell and needs 4 more electrons to get the stable noble gas configuration. Hydrogen atom has one
electron and needs one more electron to get stable electronic configuration of nearest noble bas, helium.
Therefore, one atom of carbon shares its four electrons with four atoms of hydrogen to form four covalent
bonds.

12.2 (b) Different Kinds of Covalent Bonds :
Electron pair shared between two atoms results in the formation of a covalent bond. This shared pair is also
called bonding pair of electron.
 If two atoms share one electron pair, bond is known as single covalent bond and is represented by one
dash (-)
 If two atoms share two electron pairs, bond is known as double covalent bond and is represented by two
dashed (=).
 If two atoms share three electron pairs, bond is known as triple covalent bond and is represented by
three dashes (=).
(i) Formation of double bond (oxygen molecule) : Two oxygen atoms combine to form oxygen molecule
by sharing two electron pairs. Each oxygen atom (2, 6) has six electrons in the valence shell. It required two
electrons to acquire nearest noble gas configuration. Therefore, both the atoms contribute two electrons
each for sharing to form oxygen molecule. In the molecule, two electron pairs are shared and hence there is
a double bond between the o xygen atoms.

(ii) Formation of triple bond (Nitrogen molecule) : Nitrogen atom has five electrons in its valence shell.
In the formation of a nitrogen molecule, each of the following atoms provide three electrons to form three
electrons pairs for sharing. Thus, a triple bond is formed between two nitrogen atoms.

12.2 (c) Characteristic Properties of Covalent Compounds:
The important characteristic properties of covalent compounds are :

(i) Covalent compounds consist of molecules: The covalent compounds consist of molecules. They do
not have ions. For example - hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen etc. consist of H , O and N molecules
2 2 2
respectively.
(ii) Physical state : Weak Vanderwaal’s forces are present between the molecules of covalent
compounds. So, covalent compounds are in gaseous or liquid state at normal temperature and
pressure.
For example: Hydrogen, chlorine, methane, oxygen, nitrogen are gases while carbon tetrachloride, ethyl
alcohol, ether, bromine etc. are liquids. Glucose, sugar, urea, iodine etc. are some solid covalent
compounds.
(iii) Crystal structure - Covalent compounds exhibit both crystalline and non crystalline structure.
(iv) Melting point and boiling point: Energy required to break the crystal is less due to the presence of
weak Vanderwaal’s force, so their melting and boiling points are less.
(v) Electrical conductivity - Covalent compounds are bad conductors of electricity due to the absence of
free electrons or free ions.
(vi) Solubility : Due to the non - polar nature of covalent compounds they are soluble in non - polar
solvents like benzene, carbon tetrachloride etc. and insoluble in polar solvents like water etc.
12.3 ALLOTROPIC FORMS OF CARBON :

Allotropy is the property by virtue of which an element exist in more than one form and each form has
different physical properties but identical chemical properties. These different forms are called allotropes.
The two common allotropic forms of carbon are diamond and graphite.
12.3 (a) Damon :

(i) Structure of Diamond : Diamond crystals found in nature are generally octahedral (eight faced). In the
structure of diamond, each carbon i linked to four other carbon atoms forming regular and tetrahedral
arrangement and this network of carbon atoms extends in three dimensions and is very rigid. This strong
bonding is the cause of its hardness and its high density. This regular, symmetrical arrangement makes the
structure very difficult to break. To separate one carbon atom from the structure, we have to break four
strong covalent bonds.
Elements in which atoms are bonded covalently found in solid state. For
example diamond, graphite, sulphur etc.

Three dimensional tetrahedral structure
(ii) Properties of Diamond :
(A) It occurs naturally in free state and has octahedral shape.
(B) It is the hardest natural substance known.
(C) It has high specific gravity (about 3.5).

(D) It is transparent, colourless and brittle solid.
(E) It has a high refractive index (about 2.4).
(F) It is non-conductor of electricity.
(iii) Uses of Diamond :
(A) They are used in jewellery because of their ability to reflect and refract light.
(B) Diamond is used in cutting glass and drilling rocks.
(C) Diamond
precision has an extraordinary sensitivity to heat rays and due to this reason, it is used for making high
thermometers.
(D) Diamond has the ability to cut out harmful radiations and due to this reason it is used for making
protective windows for space probes.
(E) Diamond dies are used for drawing thin wires. Very thin tungsten wires of diameter less than one-sixth
of the diameter of human hair have been drawn using diamond dies.
(F) Surgeons use diamond knives for performing delicate operations.
12.3 (b) Graphite:
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon, which is black or bluish grey with a metallic lustre and or greasy feel. It
occurs in igneous and metamorphic rocks, such as marble.
(i) Structure of Graphite :
Each carbon is bonded to only three neighboring carbon atoms in the same plane forming layers of
hexagonal networks separated by comparatively larger distance. The different layers are held together by
weak forces, called vanderwaal’s forces. The layers can therefore, easily slide over one another. This
makes graphite lubricating, soft and greasy to touch.

Showing how the layers fit together

One layer
Within each layer of graphite, every carbon atom is joined to three others by strong covalent bonds. This
forms a pattern of interlocking hexagonal rings. The carbon atoms are difficult to separate from one another.
So graphite also has high melting point.
However, the bonds between the layers are weak. The layers are able to slide easily over one another,
rather like pack of cards. This makes graphite soft and slippery. When we write with a pencil, layers of
graphite flake off and stick to the paper.
(ii) Properties of Graphite:
(A) It is soft and greasy in touch.
(B) Its specific gravity is 2.25 (generally).
(C) It is grayish black and opaque.
(D) It is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
(E) It occurs in he xagonal layers.

(F) It is stable and has high melting point.
(iii) Uses of graphite:
(A) It is used for making pencil lead, printer’s ink, black paint etc.
(B) It is used as dry lubricant for heavy machinery.
(C) It is used in making crucibles for melting substances.
(D) It is used as an electrode in batteries and electric furnaces.
(E) It is used in nuclear reactors as moderator to regulate nuclear reactions.
(F) It is also used in making artificial diamonds.


12.3 (c) Fullerenes:
(i) Structure: Fullerene is naturally occurring allotrope of carbon in which 60 carbon atoms are linked to
form a stable structure. Previously, only two forms of carbon (diamond and graphite) were known. The third
allotrope of carbon, called fullerene was discovered in 1985 by Robert Curl, Herald Kroto and Richard
Smalley.
STRUCTURE OF FULLERENE
The correctly suggested the cage structure as shown in the figure and named the molecule Buckminster
fullerene after the architect Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the Geodesic dome, which resembles the
molecular structure of C 60. Molecules of C 60 have a highly symmetrical structure in which 60 carbon atoms
are arranged in a closed net with 20 hexagonal faces and 12 pentagonal faces. The pattern in exactly like
the design on the surface of a soccer ball. C60 has been found to form in sooting flames when hydrocarbons
are burned.
All the fullerenes have even number of atoms, with formulae ranging upto C 400 and higher. These materials
offer exacting prospects for technical application. For example, because C 60 readily accepts and donates
electrons, it has possible application in batteries.
(ii) Uses of Fullerenes : It is hoped fullerenes or their compounds may find used as -
(A) superconductors
(B) semiconductors
(C) lubricants
(D) catalysts
(E) as highly tensile fibers for construction industry.
(F) inhibiting agents in the activity of the AIDS virus.
12.3 (d) Explaining Conduction in Carbon :
In diamond, all four electrons in the outer shell of each carbon atom are used to make covalent bonds. This
means that there are no free electrons and so diamond is an insulator. In graphite, only three of the outer
shell electrons are used in bonding to other carbon atoms. This leaves on electrons per atom free to move,
so graphite acts as an electrical conductor.

12.3 (e) Difference Between Properties of Diamond and Graphite :

CARBON AND 
ITS COMPOUNDS 
13.1 VERSATILE NATURE OF CARBON :
About 3 million organic compounds are known today. The main reasons for this huge number of organic
compounds are =
(i) Catenation : The property of self linking of carbon atoms through covalent bonds to form long straight or
branched chains and rings of different sizes is called catenation. Carbon shows maximum catenation in the
periodic table due to its small size, electronic configuration and unique strength of carbon - carbon bonds.
(ii) Tetravalency of carbon : Carbon belongs to group 14 of periodic table. Since the atomic number of
carbon is 6. The electronic configuration of carbon atom is 2,4. It has four electrons in the outermost shell.
Therefore, its valency is four. Thus carbon forms four covalent bonds in its compounds. A methane
molecule (CH4) is formed when four electrons of carbon are shared with four hydrogen atoms are shown
below.

(iii) Tendency to form multiple bond : Due to small size of carbon it has a strong tendency to form
multiple bond (double & triple bonds) by sharing more than one electron pair. As a result, it can form a
variety of compound. For example -
H H
H H
H − C − C − h H − C ≡ C − H

H − C = C − H Ethyne
H H Ethene
Ethane
13.2 VITAL FORCE THEORY OF BERZELIUS HYPOTHESIS :
Organic compounds cannot by synthesized in the laboratory because they require the presence of a
mysterious force (called vital force ) which exists only in living organisms.


13.3 WOHLER’S SYNTHESIS :
In 1828, Friedrich Wohler synthesized urea (a well known organic compound) in the laboratory by heating
ammonium cyanate. Urea is the first organic compound synthesized in the laboratory.

13.4 HYDROCARBONS :
13.4 (a) Introduction :
The organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. These are the
simplest organic compounds an are regarded as parent organic compounds. All other compounds are
considered to be derived form them by the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by other atoms or
groups of atoms. The major source of hydrocarbons is petroleum.
13.4 (b) Types of Hydrocarbons:
The hydrocarbons can be classified as :
(I) Saturated hydrocarbons.

 Functional group is the most reactive part of the molecule.
 Functional group determines the chemical properties of an organic compound.
 Hydrocarbon radical determines the physical properties of the organic compound.
14.2 (b) Main Functional Groups :
(i) Hydroxyl group (-OH) : All organic compounds containing - OH group are known as alcohols.
For e.g. Methanol (CH3OH), Ethanol (CH 3 - CH2 - OH) etc.
(ii) Aldehyde group (-CHO) : All organic compounds containing CHO group are known as aldehydes.
For e.g. Methanol (HCHO), Ethanol (CH 3CHO) etc.

For e.g. 2- Propanone (CH 3COH3), 2-Butanone (CH 3COCH2CH3) etc.
(iv) Carboxyl group ( -COOH) : All organic acids contain carboxyl group. Hence they are also called
carboxylic acids.
For e.g. CH3COOH (Ethanoic acid)

CH3CH2COOH (Propanoic acid)
(v) Halogen group (x= F, CI, Br, I) : All organic compounds containing - X(F, CI, Br or I) group are known
as halides.

14.2 (c) Nomenclature of Compounds Containing Functional Group :
In case come functional group (other than C = C and C ≡ C) is present, it is indicated by adding secondary
suffix after the primary suffix. The terminal ‘e’ of the primary suffix is removed if it is followed by a suffix
beginning with ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’. Some groups like - F, - CI, - Br and - I are considered as substituents and
are indicated by the prefixes.
o
Some groups like – CHO, - COOH, and - OH are considered as functional groups and are indicated
− C −
by suffixes.

14.2 (d) Naming of an Organic Compound Containing Functional Group :
Step 1 : Select the longest continuous chain of the carbon atoms as parent chain. The selected chain must
include the carbon atom involved in the functional groups like - C OOH, - CHO etc., or those which carry the
functional groups like - OH, - CI etc.
Step 2 : The presence of carbon - carbon multiple bond decides the primary suffix.
Step 3 : The secondary suffix is decided by the functional group.
Step 4 : The carbon atoms of the parent chain are numbered in such a way so that the carbon atom of the
functional group gets the lowest possible number. In case the functional group does not have the carbon
atom, then the carbon atom of the parent chain attached to the functional group should get the lowest
possible number.
Step 5 : The name of the compound is written as -

Prefixes - word root - primary suffix - secondary suffix
The number of carbon atoms in the parent chain decides the word root.

15.1 CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON COMPOUNDS :
The important chemical properties of organic compounds are discussed below :
15.1 (a) Combustion:
Carbon in all its allotropic forms burns in air or oxygen to give carbon dioxide and releases energy in the
form of heat and light.
Most carbon compound also release a large amount of heat and light on burning.

Saturated hydrocarbons will generally give a clean flame while unsaturated carbon compounds will give a
yellow flame with lots of black smoke. This results in a sooty deposit on the metal plate. However, limiting
the supply of air results in incomplete combustion of even saturated hydrocarbons giving a sooty flame.

15.1 (b) Oxidation :
Oxidation is a process in which oxygen is added to a substance. The substances which add oxygen to other
substances are called oxidising agents. There are many oxidising agents such as alkaline potassium
permanganate (alk. KMnO4), acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), nitric acid (HNO3) etc. which are
commonly used in organic chemistry. Some common reactions of oxidation are -

15.1 (c) Substitution Reaction:
The reaction in which an atom or group of atoms in a molecule is replaced or substituted by different atoms
or group of atoms are called substitution reactions. Saturated hydrocarbons are fairly uncreative. For
example, chlorine does not react with methane at room temperature. However, in the presence of sunlight
the reaction of chlorine and hydrocarbons is fairly fast reaction. It gives a variety of products.
Sulight
CH4 + CI2    
 → CH3CI + HCI
Methane Chlorine Chloromethane Hydrogen chloride
In this reaction H - atom of methane has been replaced by a - CI atom converting CH 4 to CH3CI. However, if
Cl2 is used in excess, all the hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine atom one by one.

(Carbon tetrachloride)


15.1 (d) Addition Reaction:
The reactions in which two molecules react to form a single product having all the atoms of the combining
molecules are called addition reactions. Unsaturated compounds such as alkenes contain double bond
between carbon atoms. Because of the presence of double bond, they undergo addition reaction.

This reaction is called hydrogenation. Hydrogenation reaction is used in the manufacture of vanaspati ghee
from vegetable oils. The vegetable oil such as ground nut oil, cotton speed oil and mustard oil contain
bonds (C = C) in their molecules. When reacted with hydrogen in the presence of nickel as catalyst, they
are converted into vanaspati ghee which is solid at room temperature like butter or ghee.

15.2 BURNING OF SUBSTANCES WITH OR WITHOUT SMOKY FLAME :
When coal or charcoal burns n an ‘angithi’, sometimes it just glows red and gives out heat without a flame.
This is because a flame is only produced when gaseous substances burn. When wood or charcoal is
ignited, the volatile substances present vapourise and burn with a flame in the beginning.
A luminous flame is also observed when the atoms of the gaseous substances are heated and start to glow.
The colour of the flame is characteristic of that element. For example, when a copper wire is heated in the
flame of the a gas stove, a bluish green colour is obtained.
The incomplete combustion gives soot or smoke which is due to carbon. Saturated hydrocarbons burn with
blue non-sooty flame. This is because the percentage of carbon in these compounds is low which gets
oxidised completely by the oxygen present in the air.
On the other hand, unsaturated hydrocarbons burn with yellow sooty flame. This is because the percentage
of carbon in these compounds is comparatively higher (than saturated compounds). Therefore, all the
carbon does not get oxidised completely in the oxygen of the air. Due to incomplete combustion, the flame
is sooty due to the presence of unburnt carbon particles.
The fuels such as coal, petroleum have some amount of nitrogen and sulphur in them. On heating, they are
burnt to oxides of nitrogen and sulphur, which are released in the atmosphere. These are the major
pollutants in the environment.

15.3 FORMATION OF COAL AND PETROLEUM:
Coal and petroleum are the fossil fuels. These are believed to be formed from biomass which has been
subjected to various biological and geological processes inside the earth. Coal is formed from the remains
of plants and animals (fossils) which died about millions of years ago. These remains gradually got buried
deep in the earth during earthquakes, volcanoes etc. These remains were covered with sand, clay and
water. Due to high temperature and high pressure and the absence of air inside the earth, the fossils got
converted into coal. This process of conversion of plants and animals buried inside the earth under high
temperature and pressure to coal is called carbonisation. It is a very slow process and may have taken
thousands of years.
Petroleum is formed form the bacterial decomposition of the remains of animals and plants which got buried
under the sea millions of years ago. When these organisms died, they sank to the bottom and got covered
by sand and clay. Over a period of millions of years, these remains got converted into hydrocarbons by
heat, pressure and catalytic action. The hydrocarbons formed rose though porous rocks and got trapped
between two layers of impervious rock forming an oil trap.

16.2 SOAPS AND DETERGENT :

The word ‘detergent’ means’ cleansing agent and so the detergents are substances which remove dirt
and have cleansing action in water. According to this definition of detergents, soap is also a detergent and
has been used for more than two thousand years. There are two types of detergents :
(a) Soapy detergents or soaps
(b) Non - soapy detergents or soapless soaps.
16.3 (a) Soap:
A soap is a sodium or potassium salt of some long chain carboxylic acids (fatty acid). Sodium salts of
fatty acids are known as hard soaps and potassium salts of fatty acid are known as soft soaps. A soap has
a large non-ionic hydrocarbon group and an ionic COO -Na+ group. The structure of soap can be
represented as:
where represents the hydrocarbon group and Θ represents negatively charged carboxyl group.
Some example so soaps are sodium stearate, C 17H35COO- Na +, sodium palmitate, C 15H31COO - Na+ and
sodium oleate, C 17H33COO - Na+.
Hard water, which contains salts of magnesium and calcium, reacts with
soap to form magnesium and calcium salts of fatty acid.
(i) Preparation of soap : Soap is prepared by heating oil or fat of vegetable or animal origin with
concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (caustic soda solution). Hydrolysis of fat takes place and a mixture
of sodium salt of fatty acids and glycerol is formed. Since the salt of fatty acids thus formed are used as
soap so alkaline hydrolysis of oils and fats is comm only known as saponification.

(ii) Limitation of soaps : Soap is not suitable for washing clothes with hard water because of the following
reasons.
(A) Hard water contains salts of calcium and magnesium. When soap is added to hard water,
calcium and magnesium ions of hard water react with soap forming insoluble calcium and
magnesium salts of fatty acids.

Therefore, a lot of soap is wasted if water is hard.
(B) When hard water is used, soap forms insoluble precipitates of calcium and magnesium salts,
which stick to the cloth being washed. Therefore, it interferes with the cleaning ability of the soap
and makes the cleaning process difficult.
These calcium and magnesium salts of fatty acid are insoluble in water
and separate as cruddy white precipitate.
16.3 (b) Detergents:
These are also called synthetic detergents or soapless soaps. A synthetic detergent is the sodium salt of a
long chain benzene sulphonic acid or the sodium salt of a long chain alkyl hydrogen sulphate.
(i) Preparation of Synthetic Detergents : Synthetic detergents are prepared by reacting hydrocarbons
from petroleum with conc. sulphuric acid and converting the product into its sodium salt.
Example :
Sodium p-dodecyl Sodium lauryl

benzenesulphonate sulphate
Washing powders available in the market contain about 15 to 30 percent

detergents by weight.
Alkaline hydrolysis of oils and fats is commonly known as

saponification.


16.3 (c) Comparison Between Properties of Soaps and Detergents :
S.No Soaps Synthetic detergents
Soaps are sodium salts of higher fatty acids Synthetic detergents are sodium
1 alkyl sulphates or sodium alkyl
benzene sulphonates with alkyl
group having more than ten carbon
atoms.
2 Soaps are prepared form natural oils and fats. Synthetic detergents are prepared
form the hydrocarbons of
petroleum.
3 Soaps form insulable salts (curdy white ppt.) with calcium and Calcium and magnesium salts of
magnesium which are present in hard water and hence, cannot detergents are soluble in water and,
be used in hard water/ therefore, no curdy white
precipitates are obtained in hard
water and hece, can be used even
in hard water.
4 Soad cannot be used in acidic medium and they are They cay be used in acidic medium
decomposed into carboxylic acids in a cidic medium. as they are the salt of strong acids
and are not decomposed in acidic
5 Soaps are biodegradable. medium.

Some of the synthetic detergents
are not biodegradable.
16.3 (d) Advantages of Synthetic Detergents Over Soap :
Synthetic detergents are widely used as cleaning agents these days. Some of their advantages over soaps
are :
(i) Synthetic detergents can be used for washing even in hard water. On the other, soaps are not suitable
for use with hard water.
(ii) Synthetic detergents can be used even in acidic solutions because they are not readily decomposed in
acidic medium. On the other hard, soaps cannot be used in acidic medium because they are decomposed
into carboxylic acids in acidic medium.
(iii) Synthetic detergents are more soluble in water than soaps.
(iv) Synthetic detergents have a stronger cleaning action than soaps.
16.3 (e) Cleaning Action of Soaps and Detergents :

A molecule of soap is made up of two parts : a non polar part consisting of a long chain 12 - 18 carbon
atoms and a polar part, COO - Na+. The polar end in water soluble and is thus hydrophilic whereas
hydrocarbon part is insoluble in water and is thus hydrophobic. In a soap solution, the hydrocarbon portions
of several soap molecules huddle together to form aggregates of molecules (or ions) called micelles. The
soap micelles are negatively charged due to the presence of carboxylate ions at the surface. Repulsion
between similarly charged m icelles keeps them dispersed in the solution.
The hydrocarbon part is however soluble in non-polar solvents and is

sometimes called lipophilic.


(i) Cleansing action of soap : Mostly the dirt is held to any surface such as cloth by the oil or grease which
is present there. Now since the oil and grease are not soluble in water, the dirt particles cannot be removed
by simply washing the cloth with water. However, when soap is applied, the non polar hydrocarbon part of
the soap molecules dissolves in oil droplets while the polar - COO - NA+ groups remain attached to water
molecules. In this way, each oil droplet gets surrounded by negative charge.
These negatively charged oil droplets cannot coalesce and continue breaking into small droplets. These oil
droplets (containing dirt particles) can be washed away with water along with dirt particles. So, the action of
soap or detergents in to emulsify oil or grease, this loosens the soil particles of dirt and they are removed.
In a soap molecule hydrophilic polar end in water soluble and hydrophobic

hydrocarbon part is insoluble in water.
Soap or detergent helps in cleansing in another way. Not only it emulsifies oil or grease but it also lowers
the surface tension of water. As a result of this water wets things more effectively.
When water is added on to the surface of the cloth then water molecules tend to stay as close to each other
as possible because of the strong forces of attraction (hydrogen bonding) for each other and do not wet the
cloth properly. If some soap solution is added to this away then polar end of soap dissolves in water and
non polar hydrocarbon end remains away from the water. Thus, soap molecules arrange themselves
between the water molecules on the surface of water and decrease the forces of attraction between the
water molecules. Water can now spread on the surface of cloth and can make it wet effectively.
16.3 (f) Synthetic Detergent : A Serious Problem :
It may be noted that in the past, the widespread use of detergents caused pollution of rivers and other water
bodies. Earlier the synthetic detergents were made from long chain of hydrocarbons having a lot of
branched chains in them. These branched chain detergent molecules were degraded very slowly by the
micro organisms present in water bodies like lakes or rivers.
Therefore, they tend to remain in water bodies for a long time and make water unfit for aquatic life. For
example, detergents containing phosphates can cause rapid growth of algae and therefore, deplete the
dissolved oxygen present in the water of lakes and rives. As a result of lack of oxygen, fish and other
aquatic animals may die. To solve these problems, now-a-days, the detergents are prepared from
hydrocarbons which have minimum branching. These are degraded more easily than branched chain
detergents. Therefore, these are biodegradable and create less problems.

PERIODIC TABLE
& PERIODICITY IN PROPERTIES

17.1 DEFINITION :
A periodic table may be defined as the table giving the arrangement of all the known elements according to
their properties so that elements with similar properties fall with the same vertical column and elements with
dissimilar properties are separated.
17.2 EARLY ATTAMPTS TO CLASSIFY ELEMENTS :
17.2 (a) Metals and Non - Metals :

Among the earlier classification, Lavoisier classified the elements as metals and non-metals. However, this
classification proved to be inadequate. In 1803, John Dalton published a table of relative atomic weights
(now called atomic masses). This formed an important basis of classification of elements.
17.2 (b) Dobereiner’s Triads :
(i) In 1817, J.W.Dobereiner a German Chemist gave this arrangement of elements.
(A) He arranged elements with similar properties in the groups of three called triads.
(B) According to Dobereiner the atomic mass of the central element was merely the arithmetic
mean of atomic masses of the other two elements.
For e.g.
Elements of the triad Symbol Atomic mass

Lithium Li 7
Sodium Na 23
Potassium K 39
Atomicmass of lithium + Atomic mass of potassium

Atomic mass of sodium =
2
7 + 39
= = 23
2


Some examples of triads are given in the table :
S.No. Triads Relative atomic Average of atomic

masses masses of the first
and the third element
1 S, Se, Te 32, 79, 128 32 + 128
= 80
2
2 CI, Br, I 35.5, 80, 127 35.5 + 127

= 81.25
2
3 Ca, Sr, 40, 88, 137 40 + 137

Ba = 88.5
2
(ii) Limitations of Dobereiner’s Classification :
(A) Atomic mass of the three elements of some triads are almost same.
e.g. Fe, Co, ni and Ru, Rh, Pd

(B) It was restricted to few elements, therefore discarded.
17.2 (c) Newlands’ Law of Octaves :
In 1866, an English chemist, John Newlands, Proposed a new system of grouping elements with similar
properties. He tried to correlate the properties of elements with their atomic masses. he arranged the then
known elements in the order of increasing atomic masses. He started with the element having the lowest
atomic mass (hydrogen) and ended at thorium which was the 56th element. He observed that every eight
element had properties similar to that of the first.
Thus, Newlands suggested that when the elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic masses,
the properties of every eight element are a repetition of that of the first element.
Newland called this relation as a law of octaves due to the similarity with the
musical scale.
(i) Newlands’ arrangement of elements into ‘Octaves’:
Notes of sa (do) re (re) ga (mi) ma (fa) pa (so) da (la) ni (ti)

Music
H Li Be B C N O
F Na Mg AI SI P S
Elements CI K Ca Cr Ti Mn Fe
Co and Ni Cu Zn Y In As Se
Br Rb Sr Ce and La Zr - -
(ii) Limitations of law of octaves : The law of octaves has the following limitations :
(A) The law of octaves was found to be applicable only upto calcium. It was not applicable to
elements of higher atomic masses.
(B) Position of hydrogen along with fluorine and chlorine was not justified on the basis of chemical
properties.


(C) Newlands placed two elements in the same slot to fit elements in the table. He also placed
some unlike elements under the same slot. For example, cobalt and nickel are placed in the same
slot and in the column of fluorine, chlorine and bromine. But cobalt and nickel have properties quite
different from fluorine, chlorine and bromine. Similarly, iron which has resemblances with cobalt and
nickel in its properties has been placed for away from these elements.
Thus, it was realized that Newlands’ law of octaves worked well only with lighter elements.
Therefore, this classification was rejected.
17.2 (d) Mendeleev’s Periodic Table :

The major credit for a systematic classification of elements goes to Mandeleev. He has been trying to
group the elements on the basis of some fundamental property of the atoms. When Mendeleev started his
work, only 63 elements were known. He examined the relationship between atomic masses of the
elements and their physical and chemical properties.
Among chemical properties, Mendeleev concentrated mainly on the compound formed by elements with
oxygen and hydrogen. he selected these two elements because these are very reactive and formed
compound with most of the elements known at that time. The formulae of the compounds formed with these
elements (i.e. oxides and hydrides) were regarded as one the basic properties of an element for its
classification.
(i) Mendeleev’s periodic law : This law states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements
are the periodic function of their atomic masses. This means that when the elements are arranged in the
order of their increasing atomic masses, the elements with similar properties recur at regular intervals. Such
orderly recurring properties in a cyclic fashion are said to be occurring periodically. This is responsible for
the name periodic law or periodic table.
(ii) Merits of Mendeleev’s periodic table : Mendeleev’s periodic table was one of the greatest
achievements in the development of chemistry. Some of the important contributions of his periodic table are
given below :
(A) Systematic study of elements : He arranged known elements in order of their increasing
atomic masses considering the fact that elements with similar properties should fall in the same
vertical column.
(B) Correction of atomic masses : The mendeleev’s periodic table could predict errors in the
atomic masses of certain elements were corrected. For example, atomic mass of beryllium was
corrected from 13.5 to 9. Similarly, with the help of this table, atomic masses of indium, gold,
platinum etc. were corrected.
(C) Mendeleev predicated the properties of those missing elements from the known properties of
the other elements in the same group. Eka-boron, eka – aluminum and eka - silicon names were
given for scandium, gallium and germanium (not discovered at the time of Mandeleev).
Properties predicted by Mendeleev for missing elements and those

found experimentally were almost same.


(D) Position of noble gases : Noble gages like helium (He), neon (Ne) and argon (Ar) were
mentioned in many studies. However, these gases were discovered very late because they are very
inert and are present in extremely low concentrations. One of the achievements of Mendeleev’s
periodic table was that when these gases were discovered, they could be placed in a new group
without disturbing the existing order.
(iii) Limitations of Mandeleev’s periodic table : Inspite of many advantages, the Mendeleev’s periodic
table has certain defects also. Some of these are given below -
(A) Position of hydrogen : Position of hydrogen in the periodic table is uncertain. It has been
placed in 1A group with alkali metals, but certain properties of hydrogen resemble those of
halogens. So, it may be placed in the group for halogens as well/
(B) Position of isotopes : Isotopes are the atoms of the same element having different atomic
masses. Therefore, according to Mendeleev’s classification these should be placed at different
places depending upon their atomic masses. For example, hydrogen isotopes with atomic masses
1,2 and 3 should be placed at three places. However, isotopes have not been given separate
places in the periodic table because of their similar properties.
(C) Anomalous pairs of elements “ In certain pair of elements, the increasing order of atomic
masses was not obeyed. In these, Mendeleev placed elements according to similarities in their
properties and not in increasing order of their atomic masses.
For example :

The atomic mass of argon is 39.9 and that of potassium 39.1 But argon is placed before
potassium in the periodic table.
 The positions of cobalt and nickel are not in proper order. Cobalt (at. mass = 58.9 ) is placed
before nickel (at. mass = 58.7)
 Tellurium (at. mass = 127.6 ) is placed before iodine (at. mass = 126.9)/
(D) Some similar elements are separated, in the periodic table. For example copper (Cu) and
mercury (Hg), barium (Ba) and lead (Pb). On the other hand some dissimilar elements have been
placed together in the same group.
e.g. : Copper (Cu), silver (Ag) and gold (Au) have been placed in group 1 along with alkali metals.
Similarly, manganese (Mn) is placed in the group of halogens.
(E) Cause of periodicity : Mendeleev could not explain the cause of periodicity among the
elements.

PERIODIC TABLE

18.1 MODERN PERIODIC TABLE :
18.1 (a)Introduction :
In 1913, an English physicist, Henry Moseley showed that the physical and chemical properties of the
atoms of the elements are determined by their atomic number and not by their atomic masses.
Consequently, the periodic law was modified.
18.1 (b) Modern periodic Law (Moseley’s Periodic Law):
“Physical and chemical properties of an element are the periodic function of its atomic number”. The atomic
number gives us the number of protons In the nucleus of an atom and this number increases atomic
number, is called periodicity.
18.1 (d) Cause of Periodicity :
The periodic repetition of the properties of the elements is due to the recurrence of similar valence shell
1
(outermost shell) electronic configuration (ns ) and therefore, have similar properties.
Alkali Metals

55 Caesium Cs 2,8,18,18,8,1
87 Francium Fr 2,8,18,32,18,8,1

Modern periodic table is based on atomic number, not an atomic mass.


18.1 (e) Long Form of Periodic Table :
(i) The long form of periodic table is based upon Modern periodic law. Long form of of periodic table is the
contribution of Range, Werner, Bohr and Bury.
(ii) This table is also referred to as Bohr’s table Since it follows Bohr’s scheme of the arrangement of
elements into four types based on electronic configuration of elements.
(iii) Long form of periodic table consists of horizontal rows (periods) and vertical columns (groups).
18.1 (f) Description of Periods :
(i) A horizontal row of a periodic table is called a period .
(ii) There are seven periods numbered as 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7.
(iii) Each period starts with an alkali metal having outermost shell electronic configuration ns1.
(v) Each period ends with a noble gas with outermost shell electronic configuration ns2 np 6 except helium
having outermost electronic configuration 1s2.
(vi) Each period starts with the filling of a new energy level.
st
(A) 1 period : This period is called very short period because this period contains only 2elements
H and He.
nd rd
(B) 2 and 3 periods : These periods are called short periods because these periods contain 8
nd rd
elements. 2 periods starts from 3Li to 10Ne and 3 period starts form 11Na to 18Ar.
th th
(C) 4 and 5 periods : These periods are called long periods because these periods contain 18
th th
elements. 4 period starts from 19K to 36Kr and 5 period start from 37Rb to 54Xe.
th
(D) 6 period : This period is called very long period. This period contains 32 elements. Out of the
th
32 elements 14 elements belong to Lanthanoid series (58Ce to 71Lu). 6 period starts from 55Cs to
86Rn.
(E) 7th period : This period is called as incomplete period. It contains 25 elements. out of the 25
th
elements 14 elements belong to Actinoid series (90Th to 103Lr.) 7 period starts from 87Fr to 111Rg.
Modern period table consists of seven periods and eighteen

groups.

Period No. Of Elements Called as
(1*) n = 1 2 Very short period

nd
(2 ) n = 2 8 Short period
rd
(3 ) n = 3 8 Short period
th
(4 ) n = 4 18 Long period
th
(5 ) n = 5 18 Long period
th
(6 ) n = 6 32 Very long period
Incomplete period
th
(7 ) n = 7 25
Different elements belonging to a particular period have different electronic configurations and have
different number of valence electrons. That is why elements belonging to a particular period have different
properties.
18.1 (g) Description of Groups :
(i) A vertical column of elements in the periodic table is called a group.
(ii) There are eighteen groups numbered as 1,2,3,4,5,---------13,14,15,16,17,18.
(iii) A group consists of a series of elements having similar valence shell electronic
configuration and hence exhibit similar properties.
e.g. : Li, Na, K belong to the same group and have 1 electron in their valence shell.
(iv) The group 18 is also known as zero group because the valency of the elements of this group is
zero.
the elements of 18th or zero group are called noble gases.
(v) The elements present in groups 1,2,13 to 17 are called normal representative elements.
(vi) Elements of group 1 and 2 are called alkali metals and alkaline earth metals respectively.
(vii) Elements present in group 17 are called halogens.
Elements present in a period have different properties, while elements

present in a group have similar properties.


18.1 (h) Merits of Long Form of Periodic Table L
(i) The long form of periodic table is based on atomic number. Atomic number is a more fundamental
property of a element as compared to atomic mass.
Not two elements can have the same atomic number.
(ii) In the long form of periodic table, different isotopes can be placed at the same place because they have
same atomic number. On the other hand, isobars such as Ar (40) and Ca (40) have to be placed at different
places due to their different atomic numbers.
(iii) The long form of periodic table can explain why all the elements in a group have similar properties while
the elements in a period have different properties.
The basis for periodicity of elements is the similar electronic configuration of the outermost shell of elements
of the same group. The similar electronic configuration of the elements are repeated at regular intervals so
the properties of the elements are also repeated at regular intervals.
(iv) It is easy to remember and reproduce the table.
18.1 (i) Limitations of Long Form of Periodic Table :

 PERIODIC TABLE

19.1 PERIODICITY IN PROPERTIES :
(i) The electronic configuration of the atoms display periodic variations with increase in atomic number.
(ii) The elements exhibit periodic variations of physical and chemical properties.
Following are some the important properties of the elements -
(a) Valency (b) Atomic size (c) Metallic and non - metallic character
19.1 (a) Valency :
(i) The valency of an element may be defined at the combining capacity of the element.
(ii) The electrons present in the outermost shell are called valence electrons and these electrons
determine the valency of the atom.
Valiancy of an element is determined by the number of valence electrons in an atom of the element.
The valency of an element = number of valence electrons
(when number of valence electrons are from 1 to 4)
The valency of an element - 8 - number of valence electrons.
(when number of valence electrons are more than 4)
(iii) Variation of valency across a period : The number of valence electrons increases from 1 to 8 on
moving across a period. They valency of the elements with respect to hydrogen and chlorine increases
from 1 to 4 and then decreases from 4 to zero. With respect to oxygen valency increases from 1 to 7.
Variation of valency of elements of second and third periods :

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
(iv) Variation of valency along a group : On moving down a group, the number of valence electrons
remains the same and, therefore, all the elements in a group exhibit the same valency.
e.g. All the elements of group 1 have valency equal to 1 and those of group 2 have valency equal to 2.

Valency of elements remains same in a group.
19.1 (b) Atomic Size :
The term atomic size refers to the radius of an atom. In general atomic size may be considered as the
distance between the centre of the nucleus and the outermost shell of an isolated atom.
(i) Variation of atomic size in a period : Within each period, the atomic radii decrease with increase in
atomic number.
e.g. Atomic radii decrease from lithium to fluorine in the second period.
Reason : The decrease of atomic radii along a period can be explained on the basis of increase in nuclear
charge. On moving from left to right across the period, the nuclear charge increases progressively by one
unit but the additional electron goes to the same shell. As a result the electrons are pulled closer to the
nucleus by the increased nuclear charge. This causes a decrease in atomic size.

(pm)
The values given in the table, show abrupt increase in the atomic size of Ne. This is due to the reason
that the values
because for form
it does not othercovalent
elements aredue
bond covalent
to its stable whereas that for Ne it is Vander Waals radius
radii configuration.
Covalent radii is taken when electrons are shared between two elements, while
Vander Waals radii is taken in case of gases.


(ii) Variation of atomic radii within a group : The atomic radii increase from top to bottom within a group
of the periodic table.

(pm) (pm)
Li 133 F 64
Na 157 CI 99
K 201 Br 114
Rb 216 I 133
Cs 235
Reason :
In moving down a group, the nuclear charge increases with increase in atomic number, but at the same
time there is a progressive increase in the number of energy levels. Since, the effect additional energy
level is more pronounced than the effect of increased nuclear charge, the distance of the outermost electron
from the nucleus increases on going down the group.
 Atomic radii increase down the group.

 Atomic radii decrease across the period.
19.2 METALLIC AND NON - METALLIC CHARACTER :
19.2 (a) Metals :
The metals are characterised by their nature of readily giving up the electrons.
(i) Metals comprise of more than 75% of all known elements and most of them appear on the left hand side
of the periodic table.
(ii) Metals are usually solid at room temperature (except mercury).
(iii) They have high melting and boiling points and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
19.2 (b) Non - Metals :
(i) Non-metals do not lose electrons but take up electrons to form corresponding anions.
(ii) Non-metals are located at the top right hand side of the periodic table.
(iii) Non-
melting andmetals are usually solids
boiling points. or gases (except bromine whish is liquid) at room temperature with low
(iv) They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Carbon is an exception as one of its allotropic forms, graphite is a

good conductors of electricity.


19.2 (c) Metalloids (Semimetals ) :
(i) Some elements lying at the border of metallic and non- metallic behaviour possess the properties that
are characteristics of both metals and non - metals. These elements are called semimetals or metalloids.
(ii) The metalloids comprise of the elements B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te and Po.
(iii) Variation of metallic character across a period :
Metallic character decreases along a period due to increase in ionisation energy.
Non - metallic character increases with increase in atomic number across a

period.
(iv) Variation of metallic character along a group : Metallic character increases on going down a group
from top to bottom. This can be e xplained in terms of decrease in lionisation energy on going down a group
fro top to bottom.
NOTE : Metals generally form cations by losing electrons from their outermost shell, while non - metals generally
form anions by
e.g. Alkali accepting
metals one orbymore
form M+ ions electrons.
losing
+
one electron, while alkaline earth metals form M ions by losing
two electrons from their outermost shell.
Metallic character decreases and non-metallic character increases across a
period from left to right, while metallic character increases and non-metallic
character decrease down the group.
