Q 1 :    

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions from (i) to (v).

Metals exhibit their chemical properties as per their electron releasing tendency of atoms. The greater the tendency, the more is the reactivity. Metals react with oxygen, water, hydrogen, acids, etc. They act as reducing agents because they can lose electrons. Some reactions metals undergo are given in this Table:

1. Metal + Oxygen → Metal oxide
2. Metal + Water → Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
3. Metal + Acid (dil.) → Metal Salt + Hydrogen
4. Metal A + Salt Solution of Metal B → Salt solution of A + B (Displacement)

 

(i) Some metals react vigorously with oxygen so for safety they are kept in kerosene to prevent accidental fires. Which metals are these?

  • Phosphorous, Magnesium

  • Calcium, Thallium

Q 6 :    

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions from (i) to (v):

All metals do not react with oxygen at the same rate. Different metals show different reactivities towards oxygen. Almost all metals combine with oxygen to form metal oxides. Metal oxides are basic in nature but some metal oxides, such as aluminium oxide, zinc oxide, etc. show both acidic as well as basic behaviour. Most metal oxides are insoluble in water but some like Sodium oxide and Potassium oxide dissolve in water to produce alkalis.

  • Mg > Al > Zn > Fe

     

  • Al > Mg > Fe > Zn
