Carbon and its Compounds 1. Bonding in Carbon Carbon is a unique element in the periodic table due to its ability to form covalent bonds. It has four valence electrons, allowing it to share electrons with other elements to achieve stability. Formation of Covalent Bond: Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. These … Read more
Chapter 3 – Metals and Non-Metals Gist of the Lesson Elements are classified broadly into two categories on the basis of properties: Metals: Iron, Zinc, Copper, Aluminium etc. Non-Metals: Chlorine, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur etc. Apart from metals and non-metals, some elements show properties of both metals and non-metals, e.g., Silicon, Arsenic, Germanium. They are … Read more
Properties of Acids: Produce hydrogen ions [H+] in H2O. Sour taste. Turn blue litmus red. Act as electrolytes in Solution. Neutralize solutions carrying hydroxide ions. React with several metals releasing Hydrogen gas. React with carbonates releasing CO2 (g) Destroy body tissues. Corrode metal surface quickly. On the basis of origin, acids are classified as: a. … Read more
Introduction Chemistry is the science of substances and their interactions. When substances undergo transformation, they participate in a chemical reaction. These reactions often result in: Change in physical state (solid, liquid, gas) Alteration of color Evolution of a gas Change in temperature (exothermic or endothermic) Formation of a precipitate (an insoluble solid) Understanding these reactions … Read more
