Study Notes

  • Metals and Non-Metals are discussed in Chapter 3.

Objective Type Questions

  • Aqua regia can dissolve gold and platinum.
  • Potassium reacts fast with cold water.
  • Sodium is a highly reactive metal.
  • Mercury exists in liquid state.
  • Copper is a comparatively good conductor of heat.
  • Hydrogen is an example of non-metal.
  • Na (Sodium) is the most reactive metal.
  • Brittleness is the property that is not represented by metals.
  • Applying a coating of zinc is suitable for preventing an iron frying pan from rusting.
  • AgNO3 solution and copper metal will give a displacement reaction.
  • Calcium reacts with oxygen to give a compound with a high melting point, and this compound is also soluble in water.
  • Food cans are coated with tin and not zinc because zinc is more reactive than tin.
