Question 11. Iron is less reactive than _____.
  1.    hydrogen
  2.    copper
  3.    magnesium
  4.    gold
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> magnesium
:
C
The arrangement of the metals in the increasing or decreasing order of its reactivity is called the reactivity series of the metals. The reactivity series is shown below:
Iron Is Less Reactive Than _____.
Therefore, as per the reactivity series iron is less reactive than magnesium.
Question 12. Which of the following non-metals is the best conductor of electricity?
  1.    Phosphorus 
  2.    Fluorine 
  3.    Graphite
  4.    Bromine 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Graphite
:
C
Graphite is a good conductor of electricity because of itsstructure. Like metals, it containsdelocalisedelectrons which are free to conduct electricity.
Question 13. The black coating formed on the surface of silver articles due to corrosion is ______.
  1.    silver bicarbonate
  2.    silver sulphide
  3.    silver oxide
  4.    silver carbonate
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> silver sulphide
:
B
Corrosion is a process of conversion of a metal into its compound ie. oxides or carbonates etc.by continuous interaction with atmospheric air and water vapour.
On exposure to air for a long time, silver articles combine with sulphur in the atmosphere. As a result, black coating of silver sulphide is formed on their surface. The reaction involved is:
2Ag(s)+H2S(g)Ag2S(s)+H2(g)
Question 14. Which of the following metal is the main constituents of haemoglobin?
  1.    Fe
  2.    Na
  3.    Cu
  4.    Mg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Fe
:
A
Fe (Iron) is the main constituent of haemoglobin. It helps in carrying oxygen to the cells.
Question 15. Magnalium is an alloy of aluminium.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Magnalium is analloy of aluminium with magnesium and small amounts of nickel and tin.
Question 16. Which of the following is incorrect with respect to metals?
  1.    If one of the metals is mercury in an alloy, then the alloy is known as an amalgam.
  2.    The metals high up in the reactivity series are very reactive.
  3.    Metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series cannot displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
  4.    Metals reacts with dilute acid to form its salt and hydrogen gas.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series cannot displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
:
C

  • Alloys that contain mercury are known as amalgams.

  • The metals high up in the reactivity series are very reactive.

  • More reactive metals can replace less reactive metals.

  • Metals which are above hydrogen in the reactivity series will displace hydrogen from diluteacids.


For example: Fe(s)+CuSO4(aq)FeSO4(aq)+Cu(s)
Here, ironis more reactive than copper. So, itdisplaces copperfrom its solution.
Question 17. Mercury is a non-metal which is liquid at room temperature.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Mercury is the only metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature and pressure.
Question 18. In the extraction of metallic zinc from zinc oxide, the reducing agent used is __.
 Discuss Question

:
When zinc oxide is heated with carbon, it is reduced to metallic zinc. Carbon acts as the reducing agent.
Question 19. Which of the following is the most malleable metal?
  1.    Na
  2.    Si
  3.    Au
  4.    Pb
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Au
:
C
Malleability refers to the ability of a metal to get beaten or flattened into thin sheets. Gold is the most malleable metal of all. Hence, extremely thin sheets of it can be obtained.
This makes it useful in many applications like shielding from harmful radiation, in jewellery, etc.
Question 20. Ores mined from the earth are usually contaminated with large amounts of impurities known as _______.
  1.    gangue
  2.    minerals
  3.    alloys
  4.    flux
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> gangue
:
A
Impurities found in ores mined from the earth are called gangue. It usually consists of large amounts of soil, sand, stones etc.
