7) The atomic numbers of three elements X, Y and Z are 3, 11 and 17 respectively.Explain the process
of transplantation.
8) Why is Plaster of Paris stored in a moisture-proof container?
1
9) Define the term structural isomerism’. Draw the structures of possible isomers of butane, C4H10
10) Why are ionic compounds crystalline solids and soluble in water?
11) An element ‘X’ displaces iron from the aqueous solution of iron sulfate. List your observations if the
element ‘X’ is treated with the aqueous solutions of copper sulfate, zinc sulfate and silver nitrate.
Based on the observations arrange X, Zn, Cu and Ag in increasing order of their reactivities.

C. Long Answer Type Questions – Each question carries 3 marks

12) A carboxylic acid (molecular formula, C2H4O2) reacts with an alcohol in the presence of an acid
catalyst to form a compound ‘X’. The alcohol on oxidation with alkaline KMnO4 followed by
acidification gives the same carboxylic acid C2H4O2. Write the name and structure of (i) carboxylic
acid, (ii) alcohol and (iii) the compound ‘X’ How does expired air different from inspired air?

13) State three points of difference between Mendeleev’s Periodic Table and Modern Periodic Table.
14) An element ‘X’ displaces iron from the aqueous solution of iron sulphate. List your observations if
the element ‘X’ is treated with the aqueous solutions of copper sulphate, zinc sulphate and silver
nitrate. Based on the observations arrange X, Zn, Cu and Ag in increasing order of their reactivity’s.

D. Cased Study Based Questions – Each question carries 5 marks

15. The term atomic size refers to the radius of an atom. The atomic size may be visualised as the
distance between the centre of the nucleus and the outermost shell of an isolated atom. The atomic
radius of hydrogen atom is 37 pm (picometre, 1 pm = 10–12m).

a) What is the trend of atomic size when moving from left to right?
b) Arrange the following atom in increasing order of their atomic size: B, Be, O, N, Li, C
c) Why does the atomic size increases down the group?
d) Which of the elements has greater atomic size: Li or K?
e) Metals are electropositive or electronegative in nature?
