Study Notes
Matters and Materials
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Matter exists in two forms: Pure and Impure.
- Pure substances are made of only one kind of particle.
- Impure substances consist of two or more different kinds of particles.
- Pure substances are further divided into Elements and Compounds.
- Elements consist of only one type of particle.
- Compounds consist of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio.
Metals and Non-Metals
- Metals are elements that tend to donate electrons and conduct heat and electricity.
- Metals are electropositive, meaning they have a tendency to lose electrons.
- Non-metals are elements that form negative ions by gaining or accepting electrons.
- Non-metals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
Why do metals donate electrons and non-metals accept electrons?
- Metals have 1, 2, or 3 electrons in their outermost shell, making it easier for them to donate electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
- Non-metals have 5, 6, or 7 electrons in their outermost shell, making it easier for them to gain electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration.
Physical Properties of Metals and Non-Metals
- Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, but Graphite is an exception.
- Metals are malleable (hammered into thin sheets) and ductile (drawn into thin wires).
- Metals are lustrous (shiny), with the exception of Mercury.
- Metals are sonorous (produce a ringing sound when struck).
- Metals have high density (heavy for their size).
- Metals are generally solid at room temperature, except for Mercury.
- Metals are hard, except for Sodium and Potassium, which are soft.
- Metals have high melting and boiling points, except for Gallium.
- Non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity, but Graphite is an exception.
- Non-metals are not malleable or ductile.
- Non-metals are not lustrous, except for Diamond.
- Non-metals are not sonorous.
- Non-metals have low density (light for their size).
- Non-metals can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature.
- Non-metals are generally soft, except for Diamond, which is the hardest known natural substance.
- Non-metals have low melting and boiling points.
Reactivity Series
- Reactivity series ranks metals by their tendency to lose electrons.
- Higher metals on the series are more reactive than those lower.
- The series helps understand displacement reactions.
- More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
Physical Properties
- Lustre: The shininess of a metal.
- Hardness: Most metals are hard; exceptions include sodium and potassium.
- Malleability: Ability to be hammered into thin sheets.
- Ductility: Ability to be drawn into wires.
- Melting Point: Gallium has a low melting point, useful in thermometers.
Chemical Properties
- Valence Electrons: Metals have 1-3 valence electrons; non-metals have 4-8.
- Electron Donation/Reception: Metals donate electrons; non-metals accept them.
- Charge Formation: Metals form positive ions (cations); non-metals form negative ions (anions).
- Oxidation: Metals form basic oxides; non-metals form acidic oxides.
- Amphoteric Oxides: Some oxides (e.g., aluminum oxide) are both acidic and basic.
- Corrosiveness: Metals corrode (react with oxygen and water); non-metals do not.
- Types of Ions: Cations (positive) are from metals; anions (negative) are from non-metals.
- Reducing/Oxidizing Agents: Metals are reducing; non-metals are oxidizing.
Important Reactions
- Displacement Reaction: A more reactive element displaces a less reactive one.
- Reaction of Metals with Water:
- Metals above hydrogen react with water.
- High Reactivity: Sodium and potassium react violently with water (exothermic).
- Moderate Reactivity: Calcium reacts with water but less violently.
- Low Reactivity: Aluminum and iron react only with steam.
- Reaction of Metals and Non-metals with Oxygen:
- Metals form metal oxides (usually basic).
- Non-metals form non-metal oxides (usually acidic).
Reactivity Series
- Reactivity decreases down the series.
- Higher elements are more reactive.
- Mnemonic: (Provided in the original notes)
- Top Reactive Metals: Potassium, Sodium
- Medium Reactive Metal: Zinc
- Less Reactive Metals: Lead, Copper, Mercury
Reactions of Metals
- Metals react with dilute acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
- Exceptions: Nitric acid (strong oxidizer), magnesium, and manganese.
- Metals above hydrogen can displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
- Metals below hydrogen cannot displace hydrogen.
Occurrence of Metals
- Most metals are found in the Earth's crust.
- Metallurgy: Study of metal production, purification, and extraction.
- Minerals: Naturally occurring elements and compounds.
- Ores: Minerals with high metal content.
- Gangue: Impurities in ores.
Enrichment of Ores
- Enrichment: Separating the desired metal from impurities.
Extraction of Metals
- Extraction method depends on reactivity:
- High Reactivity: Electrolysis (sodium, potassium)
- Medium Reactivity: Roasting (sulfide ores) and calcination (carbonate ores)
- Low Reactivity: Combination of roasting, reduction, and refining.
Refining of Metals
- Refining removes impurities.
- Electrolytic refining (e.g., copper): Pure metal deposits on the cathode, impurities form anode mud.
Rusting of Iron
- Rusting: Iron reacts with oxygen and water to form iron oxide (rust).
- Prevention: Exclude moisture and oxygen (painting, oiling, galvanization).
Preventing Corrosion
- Galvanization: Coating iron with zinc.
- Chrome plating: Electroplating chromium onto metal surfaces.
एनोडाइजिंग
- एनोडाइजिंग केवल एल्यूमीनियम के लिए होती है।
- यह इलेक्ट्रोलाइटिक प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से एल्यूमीनियम को बचाती है।
- एनोडाइजिंग में H2SO4 का लिक्विड होता है।
- एनोडाइजिंग में एल्यूमीनियम की प्लेटिंग की तरह होती है।
अलोइंग
- अलोय एक मेटल को मिक्स करके बनाया जाता है।
- यह मेटल की गुणवत्ता में सुधार करने का एक तरीका है।
- यह कोरोजन को कम करने में मदद करता है।
- स्टील अलोय का सबसे प्रसिद्ध उदाहरण है।
- स्टील आयरन और कार्बन को मिलाकर बनाया जाता है।
- स्टील कोरोजन प्रतिरोधी होता है।
महत्वपूर्ण बिंदु

- चैनल को सब्सक्राइब करें।
- एनसीईआरटी पढ़ना जरूरी है।
- नोट्स हाथ से लिखे होने चाहिए।
