(a) State the number of valence electrons in it.
(b) Is it a metal or a non-metal ?
(c) Name the element.


Ans :
(a) The element has two valence electrons.
(b) Metal.
(c) The element is magnesium.
9. The electronic configuration of these elements X, Y
and Z are given below :
X 2
Y 2, 6
Z 2, 8, 2
(i) Which element belongs to second period?
(ii) Which element belongs to second group?
(iii) Which element belongs to eighteenth group ?


Ans :
(i) The element which has two electron shells in its
atom should belong to second period.
In this case, the element Y has two electron
shells with electronic configuration 2, 6, 1
therefore, element’s; belongs to second period.
(ii) The element which has 2 valence electron
(except electrons in first valence shell) should
belong to the second group. Here, the element
Z has 2 valence electrons in its atom, therefore,
element Z belongs to second group.
(iii) The element having 2 elections in its only shell
(K shell) or 8 electrons in its valence shell
should belong to eighteenth group of noble
gases. In this case, element X has only one shell
containing 2 electrons, so element X belongs
of eighteenth group of the periodic table. It is
noble gas helium.


o
Give reasons :
(i) Elements in a group have similar chemical
properties.
(ii) Elements of Group I forms ions with a charge
of + 1.


Ans :
(i) Elements. in a group have same number of
valence electrons and same valency, therefore
have similar chemical properties.
(ii) It is because elements of group 1 lose one
electron to acquire + 1 charge and becomes
stable.

11. Derive an expression for equivalent resistance when
two resistors of resistance R1 and R2 are connected
in parallel.


Ans :
Consider two resistance R1 and R2 connected in
parallel as shown in Figure. When the current I
reaches point a , it splits into two parts I1 going
through R1 and I2 going through R2 .
Since charge must be conserved, therefore, that
current I that enters point a must be equal to the
current that leaves that point. Therefore, we have
I = I1 + I2 ...(1)
Since the resistors are connected in parallel,
therefore, the potential across each must be same,
hence by Ohm’s law, we have
I1 = V and I2 = V
R1 R2
Substituting in equation (i), we have
I = V + V ...(2)
R1 R2
Let R p be the equivalent resistance of the parallel
combination, then by Ohm’s law, we have
I = V ...(3)
Rp
Hence, from equations (2) and (3), we have

15. Read the following case based passage and answer
the questions given after passage.
The resistivity of alloys are much more higher
than those of the pure metals (from which they are
made). For example, the resistivity of manganin
(which is an alloy of copper, manganese and nickel)
is about 25 times more than that of copper; and the
resistivity of constantan (which is an alloy of copper
and nickel) is about 30 times more than that of
copper metal. It is due to their high resistivities that
manganin and constantan alloys are used to make
resistance wires (or resistors) used in electronic
appliances to reduce the current in an electrical
circuit. Another alloy having a high resistivity is
nichrome. This is an alloy of nickel, chromium,
manganese and iron having a resistivity of about 60
times more than that of copper.
The heating elements (or heating coils) of electrical
heating appliances such as electric iron and toaster,
etc., are made of an alloy rather than a pure metal
because (i) the resistivity of an alloy is much higher

than that of pure metal, and (ii) an alloy does not
undergo oxidation (or burn) easily even at high
temperature, when it is red hot.


Fig : An electric iron
For example, nichrome alloy is used for making the
heating elements of electrical appliances heaters
(geysers), and hair dryers, etc., because:
• Nichrome has very high resistivity (due to which
the heating element made of nichrome has a high
resistance and produces a lot of heat on passing
current)
• Nichrome does not undergo oxidation (or burn)
easily even at high temperature. Due to this
nichrome wire can be kept red-hot without
burning or breaking in air.
Answer following questions.
(i) What is use of metals which have less resistance
?
(ii) What are applications of metals which have
high resistance ?
(iii) Nichrome alloy is used for making the heating
elements of electrical appliances heaters
(geysers), and hair dryers, etc. Why ?


o
Name the alloys which have very high resistivity as
compare to copper.


Ans :
(i) Conducting wires
(ii) Heating elements, resistors
(iii)
(a) Nichrome has very high resistivity (due
to which the heating element made
of nichrome has a high resistance and
produces a lot of heat on passing current).

Due to this nichrome wire can be kept red-
