 Place a mirror in water such that it makes an angle to the water
surface.
 Now focus white light on the mirror through the water.
 Keep a white card board sheet above the water surface.
 We may observe the colours VIBGYOR on the board.
 The splitting of white light into different colours (VIBGYOR) is called dispersion.

Questions related to AS6:


6. Why does the sky appear blue from the earth's surface?
 Ans. We know that our atmosphere contains different types of molecules and atoms.
 The reason for blue sky is due to the molecules N2 and O2.
 The sizes of these molecules are comparable to the wavelength of blue light.
 These molecules act as scattering centres for scattering of blue light.
 Hence the sky is appear blue from the earth’s surface.

7. Write the reasons for appearance the red colour of sun during sunrise and at sunset?
 Ans. The light rays from the sun travel more distance
in atmosphere to reach our eye in morning and
evening times.
 During sunrise and sunset except red light all colours
scatter more and vanish before they reach us.
 Since scattering of red light is very less, it reaches us.
As a result sun appears red in colour during sunrise
and sunset.
8. Why does the sky sometimes appear white?
 Ans. Our atmosphere contains atoms and molecules of different sizes.
 According to their sizes, they are able to scatter different wavelengths of light.
 For example, the size of the water molecule is greater than the size of the N2 or O2.
 It acts as a scattering centre for light other frequencies which are lower than the frequency of
blue light.
 On a hot day due to rise in the temperature, water vapour enters atmosphere which leads to
abundant presence of water molecules in atmosphere.
 These water molecules scatter the colours of other frequencies (other than blue).
 All such colours of other frequencies reach our eye and white colour is appeared to us.

 Questions related to AS1:


9. State the function of Ciliary muscles in human eye.
 Ans. Ciliary muscles are helpful in changing focal length of eye lens.
 When the eye is focused on a distant object, these are relaxed. So the focal length of eye lens
increases to its maximum value, then we can see the object clearly.
 When the eye is focused on a nearer object the muscles are strained so the focal length of eye-lens
decreases, then we can see the object clearly.
10. What is myopia? How can it be corrected?
 Ans. Some people cannot see objects at long distances but can see nearby objects clearly. This type of
defect in vision is called ‘Myopia’. It is also called ‘near sightedness’.
 For these people the maximum focal length is less than 2.5 cm.
 In such cases the rays coming from distant objects,
after refraction through the eye lens, form an image
before the retina.
 The point of maximum distance at which the eye lens
can form an image on the retina is called ‘far point’
(M).
 The person who is suffering from myopia, can’t see
the objects which are beyond the far point (M),
but able to see the objects between M and L.
Correction of Myopia:
Myopia is corrected by using suitable concave lens.

11. What is Hypermetropia? How it is corrected?


 Hypermetropia: Hypermetropia is also known as “far sightedness”.
 A person with hypermetropia can see distant objects clearly but cannot see objects at near
distances, because the minimum focal length of eye lens for the person of hypermetropia is greater
than 2.27 cm.
 In such cases, the rays coming from a nearby
object, after refraction at eye lens, forms an
image beyond the retina.
 The point of minimum distance at which the eye
lens can form an image on the retina is called
near point (H)
 The people with defect of hypermetropia cannot see objects placed between near point (H) and
point of least distance of distinct vision (L).
Correction of Hypermetropia:
Hypermetropia is corrected by using suitable
convex lens.

12. What is presbyopia? How is its corrected?


 Ans. Presbyopia is a common defect of vision, which generally occurs at old age.
 A person suffering from this type of defect of vision cannot see nearby objects clearly and
distinctively.
 A presbyopic eye has its near point greater than 25 cm and it gradually increases as the eye
becomes older.
Presbyopia is caused by the:
1. Weakening of the ciliary muscles 2. Reduction in the flexibility of the eye lens
 A person with presbyopia cannot read letters without spectacles.
 It may also happen that a person suffers from both myopia and hypermetropia.
 This type of defect can be corrected by using bi-focal lenses.
 A bifocal lens consists of both convex lens (to correct hypermetropia) and concave lens (to
correct myopia).

4. A house has 3 tube lights, two fans and a Television. Each tube light draws 40 W. The fan draws 80
W and the Television draws 60 W. On the average, all the tube lights are kept on for five hours, two
fans for 12 hours and the television for five hours every day. Find the cost of electric energy used in
30 days at the rate of Rs. 3.00 per KWh.
Answer:
Given 3 tube lights, two fans and a television.
Power consumed by 1 tube light = 40 W
∴ Power consumed by 3 tube lights = 3 × 40W = 120W
3 tube lights are kept on for five hours. So, consumption of power by 3 tube lights
= 5 × 120 W = 600 W ……………. (1)
Power consumed by 1 fan = 80 W
∴ Power consumed by 2 fans = 2x80W=160W
2 fans are kept on for 12 hours. So, consumption of power by 2 fans
= 12 × 160 W = 1920 W ……………. (2)
Power drawn by TV = 60 W
TV is kept on for 5 hours = 5 x 60 W = 300 W ………………. (3)
∴ Consumption of power in one day = (1) + (2) + (3)
= 600W+ 1920 W + 300 W = 2820 W = 2.820 KW
∴ Total consumption of power in 30 days at Rs. 3 per KW
= 2.820 × 30 × 3 = Rs. 253.80/-

5. Based on Ohm’s law, materials are classified into how many categories? Explain.
Ans. Based on Ohm’s law, materials are classified into two categories.
They are: a) Ohmic materials. b) Non Ohmic materials.
a) Ohmic Materials: Those which obey Ohm’s law are called ohmic materials.
Example: All metallic conductors.
b) Non Ohmic Materials: Those which do not obey Ohm’s law are called non ohmic materials.
Examples: Semiconductors, Electrolytes, LEDs etc,.
6. What is Resistance? Which factors affecting the resistance? Explain.
Ans. Resistance: The resistance of a conductor is defined as the obstruction to the motion of the electrons
in a conductor.
Factors affecting the resistance are:
1. Temperature 2. Nature of material 3. Length of the conductor 4. Cross section area of the conductor.
1. Temperature and Resistance: The value of resistance of a conductor increases with temperature,
for constant potential difference between the ends of the conductor.
2. Nature of material and resistance: The resistance of a conductor depends on the material of the
conductor. Some metals have less resistance where as some have more.
For example: The resistance of Copper and Silver is less than the resistance of Silicon and Nichrome
3. Length of the conductor: The resistance of the conductor is directly proportional to its length for a
constant potential difference. 𝑅 ∝𝑙
4. Cross section area of the conductor: The resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its
1
cross section area. 𝑅 ∝𝐴
7. Explain overloading of house hold circuit.
 Ans. Generally observe the values noted on digital meters fixed at our home.
 We will notice the following values on the meter, Potential difference = 240 V Current
= 5 to 20 A.
 This means the line wires that are entering the meter have potential difference of 240 V.
 The minimum and maximum limit of current that can be drawn from the main is 5A to
20A.
 When the current drawn from the mains is more than 20 A overheating occurs and may
cause a fire. This is called overloading.
For example: If we switch on devices, such as heater shown in the figure, the current
drawn from the main exceeds the maximum limit 20A.

6. What experiment do you suggest to understand Faraday’s law? What items are
required?
Aim: To understand Faraday’s law of induction.
Materials required: A coil of copper wire, a bar magnet, Galvanometer, etc
Procedure:
 Connect the terminal of a coil to a sensitive galvanometer as shown in the figure.
 Normally, we would not expect any deflections of needle in the
galvanometer because there is to be no electromotive force in this
circuit.
 Now if we push a bar magnet towards the coil, with its north pole
facing the coil, we observe the needle in the galvanometer
deflects, showing that a current is set up in the coil.
 The galvanometer does not deflect if the magnet is at rest.
 If the magnet is moved away from the coil, the needle in the galvanometer again deflects, but in the
opposite direction, which means that a current is set up in the coil in the opposite direction.
 If we use the end of south-pole of a magnet instead of north-pole in the above activity, the
deflections are exactly reversed.
This experiment proves “whenever there is a continuous change of magnetic flux linked with a closed coil,
current is generated in the coil”.

in the flux in the coil.”

9. Explain the working of an electric motor with a neat diagram


Ans. In the electric motors the electrical energy is converted into the mechanical energy.
Principle Of Electric Motor: Electric motor works on the principle that when a rectangular coil is placed
in a magnetic field and current is passed through it. A force acts on the coil which rotates it continuously.

Working Of Electric Motor:


● Magnetic field is produced around the coil by passing the current into the
rectangular coil.
● The magnetic field of the magnet interacts with the magnetic field of the coil
and causes the coil to rotate.
● When the ABCD is in the horizontal direction the current from the battery
enters the coil through brushes B1 and leaves through brushes B2.
● Therefore the direction of current is from A to B and C to D.
Force on side AB is in a downward direction and on side CD is in an upward direction. Thus the coil rotates
in an anticlockwise direction.
● The reversing of current in the coil is repeated after every half rotation due to which the coil continues to
rotate as long as current from the batter is passed through it.
10. Explain the working of AC electric generator with a neat diagram.
Electric Generator: It is a device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is based on
electromagnetic induction principle.
Working of electric Generator:
 When the coil ABCD is rotated clockwise.
 By applying Fleming’s right-hand rule, the induced currents are
set up in these arms along the directions AB and CD.
 Thus an induced current flows in the direction ABCD.
 This means that the current in the external circuit flows from B2 to
B1.
 After half a rotation, arm CD starts moving up and AB moving
down.
 As a result, the directions of the induced currents in both the arms
change, giving rise to the net induced current in the direction
DCBA.
 The current in the external circuit now flows from B1 to B2.
 Thus after every half rotation the polarity of the current in the respective arms changes.
 Such a current, which changes direction after equal intervals of time, is called an alternating current
(abbreviated as AC).
 This device is called an AC generator.

9. What is meant by “water of crystallization” of a substance? Describe an activity to
show the water of crystallization.
Ans. Water of Crystallization: Water of crystallization is the fixed number of water molecules present
in one formula unit of a salt in its crystalline form. Ex: CuSO4 • 5H2O.
It means that five water molecules are present in one formula unit of copper sulphate.
Activity to show the water of crystallization:
1. Take a few crystals of copper sulphate in a dry test tube and heat the test tube.

3. Add 2 – 3 drops of water on the sample of copper sulphate obtained after
heating.
4. We observe, the blue colour of copper sulphate crystals is restored.
Reason:
1. In the above activity copper sulphate crystals which seem to be dry contain
the water of crystallization, when these crystals are heated, water present in
crystals is evaporated and the salt turns white.

remaining in the mouth.
 The best way to prevent this is to clean the mouth after eating food.
 Using tooth pastes, which are generally basic neutralize the excess acid and prevent tooth decay.
21. While diluting an acid, why is it recommended that the acid should be added to water
and not water to the acid?
 Ans. The process of dissolving an acid or a base in water is an exothermic process.
 Care must be taken while mixing concentrated nitric acid or sulphuric acid with water.
 The acid must always be added slowly to water with constant stirring.
 If water is added to a concentrated acid, the heat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and cause
burns.
 The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating.
 Hence it is recommended that the acid should be added to water but not water to the acid, while diluting the
acid.

Questions related to AS5:
1. Draw the shapes of s, p, d orbitals
Ans.

Questions related to AS1:


2. How are quantum numbers helpful to understand the atomic structure?
Ans. The set of numbers used to describe the position and energy of the electron in an atom are called
quantum numbers. There are four quantum numbers, namely, principal, azimuthal, magnetic and spin
quantum numbers.
1. Principal Quantum Number:
 Principal quantum number is introduced by Niels Bohr and denoted by the symbol ‘n’.
 The principal quantum number is related to the size and energy of the main shell.
 ‘𝑛’ has positive integer values of 1, 2, 3,… As ‘𝑛’ increases, the shells become larger and the
electrons in those shells are farther from the nucleus
 For each ‘𝑛’ value there is one main shell.
Shell K L M N
𝑛 1 2 3 4
2. The angular - momentum quantum number (𝒍)
 Arnold Sommerfeld proposed the angular - momentum quantum number, and denoted with
𝒍.
 ‘𝑙’ has integer values from 0 𝑡𝑜 (𝑛 − 1) for each value of ‘𝑛’.
 Each ‘𝑙’ value represents one sub-shell.
 Each value of ‘𝑙’ is related to the shape of a particular sub-shell in the space around the
nucleus.
 The value of ‘𝑙’ for a particular sub-shell is generally designated by the letters s, p, d . . . as
follows:
𝑙 0 1 2 3
Name of the sub-shell s p d f
3. The magnetic quantum number (𝒎𝒍 ):
 The total number of orbitals in a subshell and the orientation of these orbitals are determined by the
magnetic quantum number.
 It is proposed by Lande and denoted by the symbol ‘𝑚𝑙 ’.
 The value of the magnetic quantum number is dependent on the value of the angular momentum
quantum number( 𝑙 ).
 For a given value of 𝑙, the value of 𝑚𝑙 ranges between the interval −𝑙 𝑡𝑜 + 𝑙.
 For example, if n = 4 and l = 3 in an atom, the possible values of the magnetic quantum number are
-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, and +3.
 The total number of orbitals in a given subshell is given by the formula (2l + 1). For example, if 𝑙 =
2 the ‘3d’ subshell contains 5 orbitals( m values are, -2,-1,0,1,2; total=5)
4. Spin Quantum Number (𝒎𝒔 ):
 The electron spin quantum number is independent of the values of 𝑛, 𝑙, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑙.
 The value of this number gives insight into the direction in which the electron is spinning, and is
denoted by the symbol 𝑚𝑠 .
 This quantum number refers to the two possible orientations of the spin of an electron, one
1 1
clockwise and the other anticlockwise spin. These are represented by (+ ) 𝑎𝑛𝑑(− )
2 2
 The positive value of 𝑚𝑠 implies an upward spin on the electron which is also called ‘spin up’ and is
denoted by the symbol ↑.
 If 𝑚𝑠 has a negative value, the electron in question is said to have a downward spin, or a ‘spin down’,
which is given by the symbol ↓.
3. Explain Pauli’s exclusion principle with one example.
 Pauli Exclusion Principle: According to Pauli Exclusion Principle no two electrons of the
same atom can have all four quantum numbers the same. This means, an orbital can hold only
two electrons and they must have opposite spins.
 Electronic configuration of Helium is 𝐻𝑒 ∶ 1𝑠 2
 If 𝒏, 𝒍, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒍 are same for two electrons then 𝒎𝒔 must be different. In the helium atom the
spins must be paired.
Quantum number 𝒏 𝒍 𝒎 𝒔
1st electron 1 0 0 1

4. Explain Aufbau principle with one example.
Aufbau principle: The lowest-energy orbitals are filled first.
In terms of quantum numbers:
1. Electrons are assigned to orbitals in order of increasing value of (𝑛 + 𝑙).
2. For sub-shells with the same value of(𝑛 + 𝑙), electrons are assigned first to the sub-shell with
lower ‘n’.
Example:
 In hydrogen the first electron enters the lowest energy orbital. 𝐻 = 1𝑠1
 In potassium the last electron enters into 4𝑠 instead of 3𝑑. Because (𝑛 + 𝑙) value of 4𝑠 is
less than (𝑛 + 𝑙) value of 3d. 𝐾 = 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝6 3𝑠 2 3𝑝6 4𝑠1
 In scandium the last electron enters into 3𝑑 instead of 4𝑝. The reason for this is that
although the (𝑛 + 𝑙) values of 4𝑝 and 3𝑑 are equal, the value of 𝑛 is minimum for the
3𝑑 orbital, so the electron enters into the 3d orbital. 𝑆𝑐 = 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝6 3𝑠 2 3𝑝6 4𝑠 2 3𝑑1
Orbital 𝒏 𝒍 (𝑛 + 𝑙)
4𝑝 4 1 4+1=5
3𝑑 3 2 3+2=5
5. Explain Hund’s Rule with one example.
Hund’s rule: The orbitals of equal energy (degenerate) are occupied with one electron each before
pairing of electrons starts.
Example:
The configuration of Carbon (C) atom (Z=6) is 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝2 . The first four electrons go into the 1s and
2s orbitals. The next two electrons go into separate 2p orbitals, with both electrons having the same
spin.

The unpaired electrons in the 2p orbitals are shown with parallel spins.

6. Following orbital diagram shows the electron configuration of nitrogen atom. Which
rule does not support this? N (Z = 7)

 This electron configuration does not support Hund’s rule.


 According to Hund’s rule, the orbitals of equal energy are occupied with one electron each before
pairing of electrons starts.
 Here, pairing of electrons in 2px orbital was taken place without filling of an electron in 2pz orbital.
 Hence the correct electron configuration is as follows.1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝2 (𝑜𝑟) 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝𝑥1 2𝑝𝑦1 2𝑝𝑧1
7. Which rule is violated in the electronic configuration 𝟏𝒔𝟎 𝟐𝒔𝟐 𝟐𝒑𝟒 ?
 Aufbau principle is violated in this electronic configuration because according to Aufbau
principle, electron enters orbital of lowest energy.
 Among 1s, 2s and 2p, 1s has least energy.
 So 1s orbital must be filled before the electron should enter 2s.
 Correct electronic configuration is 𝟏𝒔𝟐 𝟐𝒔𝟐 𝟐𝒑𝟐
8. Write the four quantum numbers for the differentiating electron of sodium (Na)
atom.
Ans. The electronic configuration of sodium (Na) is 1s² 2s² 2p 6 3s¹. So the differentiating electron enters 3s.
Therefore the four quantum numbers are
Quantum number 𝑛 𝑙 𝑚𝑙 𝑚𝑠
Value 3 0 0 +1/2

7. Classification of Elements - The Periodic Table


Questions related to AS1:
1. Explain Dobereiner’s law of Triads.
Ans. Döbereiner stated that when elements with similar properties are taken three at a time and arranged in
the ascending order of their atomic weights, the atomic weight of the middle element is the average of the
atomic weights of the first and third elements. This statement is called the Dobereiner’s law of triads
Examples:
.1 Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) [ 𝐿𝑖 (7), 𝑁𝑎 (23), 𝐾 (39) ]
2. Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba) [ 𝐶𝑎 (40), 𝑆𝑟 (87.5), 𝐵𝑎 (137) ]
3. Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I) [ 𝐶𝑙 (35.5), 𝐵𝑟 (80), 𝐼 (127) ]
4. Sulphur (S), Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te) [ 𝑆 (32), 𝑆𝑒 (78), 𝑇𝑒 (125) ]
2. Write Mendeleeff’s periodic law
Ans. Mendeleeff’s periodic law: The law states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements are
periodic functions of their atomic weights.
3. Define the modern periodic law.
Modern periodic law:
“The physical and chemical properties of elements are the periodic function of the electronic configurations
of their atoms”.
4. Define the modern periodic law. Discuss the construction of the long form of the periodic
table.
Modern periodic law: ”The physical and chemical properties of elements are the periodic functions of the electronic
configurations of their atoms.”
The salient features of the Modern periodic table from left to right are given below:
1. The periodic table has 18 vertical columns which are called groups. and seven horizontal rows which are called
periods.
2. The elements of group 1,2, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are known as the main group or representative elements.
3. The elements of group 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10 ,11 and 12 are known as transition elements
4. Element 18 are called noble gases or inert gases.
5. The first period contains only 2 elements and is the shortest period.
6. The second (Lithium to Neon) and third period (Sodium to Argon) contain 8 elements – Hydrogen and
Helium and are called short periods.
7. The fourth (Potassium to Krypton) and fifth period (Rubidium to Xenon) contains 18 elements. These are long
periods.
8. The sixth period (Cesium to Radon) contains 32 elements and it is the longest period.
9. The seventh period is an incomplete period.
10. In group 3 of the sixth period there is a set of elements with atomic number 57 to 71. They are known as
lanthanides.
11. In group 3 of seventh period the elements with atomic number 89 – 103 are known as actinides.
12. In the periodic table Lanthanides and Actinides are shown in the bottom of the periodic table.
5. Explain how the elements are classified into s, p, d and f-block elements in the periodic
table and give the advantage of this kind of classification.
Ans. Depending on the type of orbital in which the differentiating electron enters, the elements are classified into s, p,
d and f - block elements.
s - block elements :
 The elements of group IA and IIA belongs to s-block.
 Their differentiating electron enters into s-orbital.
 Except hydrogen, all the s-block elements are metals.
 Their general electronic configuration is 𝑛𝑠1 𝑡𝑜 𝑛𝑠 2
p- block elements :
 The elements of group IIIA to VIIIA belongs to p-block.
 This differentiating electron enters into p-orbital.
 Their general electronic configuration is 𝑛𝑠 2 𝑛𝑝1 𝑡𝑜 𝑛𝑠 2 𝑛𝑝6 .
 The only p-block element in which the differentiating electron does not enter into p-orbital is He.
 p-block contains metals, non-metals and metalloids.
d- block elements :
 The elements of group IB to VIIIB belongs to d-orbital.
 Their differentiating electron enters into (n – 1) d orbital.
 All the d-block elements are metals.
 Their general electronic configuration is (𝑛 – 1)𝑑1−10 𝑛𝑠1 𝑜𝑟 2 ) The d-block elements are placed in between the
s and p-block elements.
f- block elements :
 The Lanthanides and Actinides which are placed below the periodic table are known as f-block elements.
 Their differentiating electron enters into the (n – 2) f orbital.
Advantages of this kind of classification:
 By knowing the block of the element, it is very easy to study the general behaviour and important properties
of the elements.
Ex : If the element belongs to s-block, it means it must have 1 or 2 electrons in outer-most shell.
Hence it must have low value of IE, strongly metallic and electropositive character and form cations easily.
 It is easy to recognise the valence subshell of the atom.
6. Elements in a group generally possess similar properties, but elements along a period
have different properties. How do you explain this statement?
 Physical and chemical properties of elements are related to their electronic configurations,
particularly the outer shell configurations.
 Therefore, all the elements in a group should have similar chemical properties.
 Similarly, across the table from left to right in any period, elements get an increase in the atomic
number by one unit between any two successive elements.
 Therefore, the electronic configuration of valence shell of any two elements in a period is not same.
Due to this reason, elements along a period possess different chemical properties.
7. What is ionization potential? Explain the factors which affect ionization potential.
Ionization Energy: The energy required to remove an electron from the outer most orbit or shell of a neutral
gaseous atom is called ionization energy.
Ionization energy of an element depends on its:
1. Atomic radii: With increase in the atomic radius, the attraction between the nucleus and the outermost
electron decreases. Due to this, less energy is required to remove the electron. Hence, with increase in the
atomic radii, the ionization potential decreases.
2. Nuclear charge: With increase in the nuclear charge, the attraction between the nucleus and the outermost
electron increases. Due to this, more energy is required to remove the electron. Hence, with increase in the
effective nuclear charge, the ionization potential increases.
3. Shielding effect: With increase in the shielding effect, the attraction between the nucleus and the outermost
electron decreases. Due to this, less energy is required to remove the electron. Hence, with increase in the
atomic radii, the ionization potential decreases.
4. Penetrating effect: Penetrating effect represents the ability with which the orbital attracts an electron.
With increase in the penetrating effect, the ionization energy increases.
5. Stability of half-filled and completely filled orbitals: Half-filled and completely filled orbitals have
extra stability. This extra stability increases the ionization energy.
8. What is a periodic property? How do the following properties change in a group and
period? Explain.
a) Atomic radius b) Ionization energy c) Electron affinity d) Electronegativity
Ans. Periodic property: The property in which there shall be a regular gradation is called periodic property.
a) Atomic radius:
In Period: Atomic radius of elements decreases across a period from left to right because the nuclear charge
increases due to increase in atomic number.
In Group: Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group due to addition of new shell.
b) Ionization energy:
In Period: When we move from left to right it does not follow a regular trend but generally increases due to increase
in atomic number.
In Group: In a group from top to bottom, the ionization energy decreases due to increase in atomic size. –
c) Electron affinity:
In Period: Electron affinity values increase from left to right in a period.
In Group: Electron affinity values decrease from top to bottom in a group.
d) Electronegativity:
In Period: Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period.
In Group: Electronegativity decreases from top to bottom in a group.

Questions related to AS1


4. Explain Ionic bond with an example.
Ans. A Chemical bond formed between two oppositely charged ions (cation and anion) is called an Ionic
bond. Eg: Formation of Sodium chloride (NaCl): Sodium chloride is formed from the elements sodium and
chlorine.
It can be explained as follows:
2𝑁𝑎 + 𝐶𝑙2 → 2𝑁𝑎𝐶𝑙
Cation formation: When sodium (Na) atom loses one electron to get octet electron configuration it
forms a cation (𝑁𝑎+ ).
𝑁𝑎 → 𝑁𝑎+ + 𝑒 −
2,8,1 2,8
Anion formation: Chlorine has shortage of one electron to get octet in its valence shell. So it gains the
electron from Na atom to form anion (𝐶𝑙 − )
𝐶𝑙 + 𝑒 − → 𝐶𝑙 −
2,8, 7 2,8,8
Formation of the compound NaCl from its ions:
Transfer of electrons between ‘Na’ and ‘Cl’ atoms, results in the formation of ‘Na+’ and ‘Cl – ’ ions.
These oppositely charged ions get attracted towards each other due to electrostatic forces and form the
compound sodium chloride (NaCl).
𝑁𝑎+ + 𝐶𝑙 − → 𝑁𝑎+ 𝐶𝑙 − → 𝑁𝑎𝐶𝑙
5. Explain Which Factors affecting the formation of cation and anion.
The tendency of losing electrons to form cations (or) gaining electron to form anions depends on the
following factors:
i. Atomic size ii. Ionization potential iii. Electron affinity iv. Electronegativity
The atoms of elements with low ionization energy, low electron affinity high atomic size and low
electronegativity form cations.
The atoms of elements with high ionization potential, high electron affinity, small atomic size and high
electronegativity form anions.
6. According to VBT Explain the formation 𝑯𝟐 of molecule

overlaps the ‘1s’ orbital of the other ‘H’ atom containing unpaired electron of opposite spin giving H-H bond
and 𝑯𝟐 molecule.

7. Explain the formation of Double Bond with an example according to VBT (or)
Explain the formation of Oxygen molecule according to VBT

Double Bond: A double bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when two atoms share two pairs of
electrons.
Formation of Oxygen molecule: Electronic configuration of Oxygen atom: 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝𝑥2 2𝑝𝑦1 2𝑝𝑧1

01) 2𝑝𝑧 + 2𝑝𝑧 → 𝜎 (2𝑝𝑧 − 2𝑝𝑧 )


02) 2𝑝𝑦 + 2𝑝𝑦 → 𝜋 ( 2𝑝𝑦 − 2𝑝𝑦 )

01) If the ‘2𝑝𝑧 ‘orbital of one ‘O’ atom overlaps the ‘2𝑝𝑧 ’ orbital of other ‘O’ atom along the internuclear
axis, a sigma 2𝑝𝑧 - 2𝑝𝑧 bond (σ𝑝𝑧 - 𝑝𝑧 ) is formed.
02) 2𝑝𝑦 orbital of one ‘O’ atom overlaps the 2𝑝𝑦 orbital of other ‘O’ atom laterally, perpendicular to the
inter-nuclear axis giving a π 𝑝𝑦 - 𝑝𝑦 bond.
03) O2 molecule has a double bond between two oxygen atoms.

8. Explain the formation of Triple bond according to VBT (or) Explain the formation of
Nitrogen molecule.
జ. Formation of Nitrogen molecule: Electronic configuration of Nitrogen atom: 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝𝑥1 2𝑝𝑦1 2𝑝𝑧1

01. 𝟐𝒑𝒛 + 𝟐𝒑𝒛 → 𝝈 ( 𝟐𝒑𝒛 − 𝟐𝒑𝒛 )

02. 𝟐𝒑𝒚 + 𝟐𝒑𝒚 → 𝝅 (𝟐𝒑𝒚 − 𝟐𝒑𝒚 )

03. 𝟐𝒑𝒛 + 𝟐𝒑𝒛 → 𝝅 (𝟐𝒑𝒛 − 𝟐𝒑𝒛 )


01. The 2𝑝𝑧 orbital of one ‘N’ atom overlaps the ‘2𝑝𝑧 ’ orbital of the other ‘N’ atom giving
σ 𝑝𝑧 - 𝑝𝑧 bond along the inter-nuclear axis.
02. The 2𝑝𝑦 and 2𝑝𝑥 orbitals of one ‘N’ atom overlap the 2𝑝𝑦 and 2𝑝𝑥 orbital of other ‘N’ atom
laterally, respectively -perpendicular to inter-nuclear axis giving π 𝑝𝑦 -𝑝𝑦 and π 𝑝𝑥 − 𝑝𝑥 bonds.

03. Therefore, N2 molecule has a triple bond between two nitrogen atoms.

9. What is Hybridisation? Explain the formation of following molecules according to


hybridisation. a) 𝑩𝒆𝑪𝒍𝟐 b) 𝑩𝑭𝟑

Hybridisation: Hybridisation is a phenomenon of intermixing of atomic orbitals of almost equal energy


which are present in the outer shells of the atom and their reshuffling or redistribution into the same
number of orbitals but with equal properties like energy and shape.
Formation of Beryllium Chloride molecule (𝑩𝒆𝑪𝒍𝟐 ):
 BeCl2 molecule has one Be atom and two Chlorine atoms.
 Electronic configuration of Be is 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝0
 Electronic configuration of beryllium in exited state: 1𝑠 2 2𝑠1 2𝑝1
 The 2s and 2pz orbitals undergo sp hybridization to form two sp hybrid orbitals oriented at 180°
with each other.
 2p orbitals of two chlorine atoms overlap with
the sp hybrid orbitals to form two sp-p σ
bonds.
 Cl – Be – Cl bond angle is 180°.
 The geometry of the molecule is linear.

Formation of BF3 molecule:


 5B has electronic configuration: 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝𝑥1
 Boron (B) first undergoes excitation to get electronic
configuration: 1𝑠 2 2𝑠1 2𝑝𝑥1 2𝑝𝑦1
 As it forms three identical B-F bonds in BF3, it is
suggested that excited ‘B’ atom undergoes
hybridisation.
 There is an intermixing of 2s, 2px, 2py orbitals and their redistribution into three identical
orbitals called sp2 hybrid orbitals.
 For three sp2 orbitals to get separated to have minimum repulsion the angle between any two
orbitals is 1200 at the central atom and each sp2 orbital gets one electron.
 Now three Fluorine atoms overlap their 2pz orbitals containing unpaired electrons the three
sp2 orbitals of ‘B’ that contain unpaired electrons to form three σ(sp2 –p) bonds.
10. According to Electronic theory of valence Explain the formation of
i) Oxygen molecule ii) Nitrogen molecule
1) Formation of O2 molecule:
 The electronic configuration of 8 O is 2, 6.
 Oxygen atom has six electrons in its valence
shell.
 It requires two more electrons to get octet in its
valence shell.
 Therefore oxygen atoms come close and each oxygen atom contributes two electrons for bonding.
 Thus, there exist two covalent bonds between two oxygen atoms in O2 molecule as there are two
pairs of electrons shared between them.
 We can say that a double bond is formed between two oxygen atoms in O2 molecule. Both the
oxygen atoms have octet in the valence shell
2) Formation of Nitrogen (N2 ) molecule:
 The electronic configuration of ‘N’ atom is 2,5 and to have octet in the valence shell it requires three
more electrons.
 When two nitrogen atoms approach each other,
each atom contributes 3 electrons for bonding.
 There are six electrons shared between two
nitrogen atoms in the form of three pairs.
 Therefore, there is a triple bond between two nitrogen atoms in N2 molecule.
11. Why do only valence electrons involve in bond formation? Why not electron of inner shells?

Explain.
Ans. The core electrons are those present closer to the nucleus. Their attractive interactions with the
nucleus are stronger; therefore, they are bound tightly to the nucleus. This lowers their energy and
contributes to stability, making them indifferent to bonding reactions.

 One of the simplest methods of preventing corrosion is to prevent the surface of the metallic object
to come in contact with atmosphere.
 This can be done by covering the surface with paint or by some chemicals.
 Another simple method is to cover the surface by other metals( like Sn, Zn etc) that are inert or react
themselves with atmosphere to save the object.
 This is generally done by electroplating.
 An electrochemical method is to provide a sacrificial electrode of another metal (like Mg, Zn etc)
which corrodes itself but saves the object.

9. Discuss the versatile nature of the Carbon
Ans. VERSATILE NATURE OF CARBON : Carbon forms a very large number of compounds. The
number of carbon compounds is more than three million. It is more than the number of compounds formed
by all other elements.
Special properties of carbon:
1. Catenation 2. Tendency to form Multiple Bonds 3. Isomerism
1. Catenation:

The property of self linking of carbon atoms through covalent


bonds in order to form long straight or branched chains and rings
of different sizes is called catenation. The property of catenation is
due to-
i. Small size
ii. Unique electronic configuration
iii. A great strength of carbon-carbon bonds

2. Tendency to form Multiple: Bonds: Due to its tetra valance, carbon


can also form single, double, and triple covalent bonds by sharing one,
two, or three pairs of electrons respectively between two carbon atoms as
well as with other atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, etc.
3. Isomerism: If a given molecular formula represents two or more
structures having different properties, the phenomenon is called isomerism, and the different
structures are called isomers.
For example, Structures of 𝐶2 𝐻6 𝑂: 1.Di methyl ether (𝐶𝐻3 𝑂𝐶𝐻3 ) 2. Ethyl Alcohol (𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝐻2 𝑂𝐻)

11. What is Homologous Series ? Write its characteristics.
Ans. Homologous Series: A group / series of hydrocarbons having same general formula, with two
successive compounds possessing difference of - CH2 and with similar structures and similar properties
(i.e., same functional group) are called a homologous series.
For example, 1) 𝐶𝐻4 , 𝐶2 𝐻6 , 𝐶3 𝐻8 , … … …. 2) 𝐶𝐻3 𝑂𝐻, 𝐶2 𝐻5 𝑂𝐻, 𝐶3 𝐻7 𝑂𝐻, … … ….
Homologous series of organic compounds have following characteristic features.
1) They have one general formula.
Eg: alkanes (Cn H2n+2); alkynes (Cn H2n-2); alcohols (Cn H2n+1)OH etc.
2) Successive compounds in the series possess a difference of (-CH2) unit.
3) They possess similar chemical properties due to the same functional group
Eg: alcohols, aldehydes and carboxylic acids have functional groups C–OH, C–CHO and C-COOH
respectively.
4) They show a regular gradation in their physical properties (see the table-1).
For example: we may take alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids etc. as
homologous series. The individual members of a homologous series are called homologs.
12. What are substitution actions? Explain.
Ans. A reaction in which an atom or a group of atoms in a given compound is replaced by other atom or
group of atoms is called a substitution reaction.
Example: For example, methane (CH4) reacts with chlorine in the presence of sunlight. Hydrogen atoms of
CH4 are replaced by chlorine atoms
