metals and non-metals - Class 8

1:- What is material?
Ans:- A substance or a group of substances that constitute an object is called material
          Ex:-iron rod is made up of single substance called iron.
                 utensils are made up of stainless steel that is made up of group of substancesthat is iron,
                 nickel, chromium and manganese.

2:- What is matter?
  Ans:- Any thing that has mass and occupies space is called matter.
            Matter has both mass and volume.
            Ex:- air, food, stone, cloud, stars, animals, plants, water, sand etc.

3:- What is mass?
  Ans:- Mass is the matter contained in a body.
            The SI. unit of mass is Kilogram (kg).

4:- What is volume?
  Ans:- The amount of space that a substance occupies is called its volume.
            The SI. unit of volume is cubic meter (m3).
            The common unit of measuring volume is litre (L).

                1litre = 1dm3 
                1litre = 1000 mL
                1mL  = 1cm3    

5:- Is matter continuous or particulate?
  Ans:- Matter is particulate. It is made up of particles.

6:- Prove that matter is made up of particles.
  Ans:- When we dissolve sugar in water the water level doesnot rise but the sugar completely 
            dissolve into water because the particles of sugar get into the space between particles 
            of water, so we can say that matter is made up of particles. 

Dalton’s theory 

 John Dalton gave Dalton’s theory in which he clearly stated that matter is made of small particles called atoms.

7:- What are atoms?
Ans:-Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that have properties of individual element.

Neil Bohr Theory

 Neil Bohr stated that An atom is spherical in nature and has a nucleus placed at the center of the atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.

He also said that an atom has three fundamental particles as follows-
          Electrons
          Protons       
          Neutrons
Electrons
1:- An electron is a stable subatomic particle with a negative electrical charge.
2:- Each electron carries one unit of negative charge  that is equal to 1.602 x 10-19 coulomb
3:- It has a very small mass as compared with that of a neutron or proton. The mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg. This is about 1/1836 the mass of a proton. 
4:- A common symbol for an electron is e
5:- electrons orbit around the positively-charged atomic nucleus. 
6:- In solids, electrons are responsible for conducting current. This is because protons are bound within the nucleus, so they are not as mobile as electrons. 
7:- electron was  discovered  by British physicist J.J.Thomson in  1897.

Protons  
 1:- A proton is a stable subatomic particle with a positive electrical charge.
2:- Each proton carries one unit of positive charge that is +1e
 3:- It has mas that is slightly less than Neutron. 
4:- A common symbol for a proton is p or p+
5:- Proton is present in the nucleus of an atom.
 6:- Number of protons of an element is always equal to the atomic number
7:- both protons and neutrons are found in the atomic nucleus, they are collectively known as nucleons. 
8:- The proton was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in the early 1900's .
9:- A proton has a mass of 1.67 x 10-27 kg.

Neutrons
1:- The neutron is a subatomic particle with a mass of 1 and charge of 0. 
2:- Neutrons are found with protons in the atomic nucleus.

3:- the number of protons in a atom determines its element, the number of neutrons determines its isotope. 
4:- It was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935. 
5:- A neutron has a mass of 1.67 x 10-27 kg. 

8:- What are orbits of an atom?

Ans:- The electrons of an atom revolves around the nucleus on fixed paths in a fixed pattern
            are called orbits of an atom.

9:- What is electronic Configuration?

Ans:- The electron configuration of an atom is the representation of the arrangement of electrons distributed among the orbital shells.

 The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell is based on the principal quantum number (n). It is represented by the formula 2n2, where ‘n’ is the shell number.  

 

10:- What is valency?

Ans:- Valency refers to the number of electrons in the outermost orbit of an atom.





What is valence shell? 
Ans:- The outermost shell of an atom is called the valence shell of the atom. 

 
 
8:- What is an element? give examples.
Ans:- A substance that is made up of only one kind of atoms is called an element.
         An element can not be broken down into simpler substances by any physical or chemical 
         means.

Physical properties of metal

The physical properties of metals are 

     1- Metals are malleable:- All the metals can be hammered and beaten into thin sheets.
                                                Mallebility helps the metals to change their shape and helps in making
                                                different tools.

  2- Metals are ductile:- Metals can be stretched into thin wires by the help of a characteristic
                                           called ductillity.
        

     3- Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity:-
        All the metals are good conductors of  heat.  
        Silver metal is best conductor of heat but lead is the poorest conductor of heat.
        Silver is also good conductor of electricity. The second good conductor is copper. 
        Bismuth and tungsten are bad conductor of electricity.

     4- Metals are Luster:- Metals have unique shine called metallic luster. 
                                           Gold and silver are highly lustrous and are used in making jewellery. 

     5- Metals are solid at room temperature. Only mercury is a metal that is in the form of 
          liquid at room temperature

     6- The melting and boiling points of metals are generally high. 
              Sodium , potassium , mercury and gallium have low melting and boiling point

     7- Metals are sonorous :- metals produce metallic sound when they are hitted with an object.

What is a displacement reaction?

Displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Both metals and non-metals take part in displacement reactions.
 



Certain metals have the capacity to displace some metals from the aqueous solutions of their salts. 



A metal placed higher in the activity series can displace the metal that occupies a lower position from the aqueous solution of its salt.



  The displacement reaction is not limited to metals only. Even non-metals can take part in these reactions.



Example : Reaction of iron nails with copper sulphate solution.

Take Copper sulphate sollution in a test tube.

Copper Sulphate is an aquas salt sollution which is blue in colour.
                                         
 
Now dipped an Iron nail in Copper sulphate sollution.

Iron displaced the copper from Copper sulphate and form iron sulphate because highly reactive metals replace the low reactive metals.  
      
                                     
What are metalloids?
Ans:- Those elements that have properties of both metals and non-metals are called metalloids.
 Ex:-

5BBoron
14SiSilicon
32GeGermanium
33AsArsenic
51SbAntimony
52TeTellurium
