ASSIGNMENT
METALS AND NON-METALS

MULTIPLE CHOICE BASED QUESTIONS

1) When calcium oxide is added to water, it completely dissolves in water without forming bubbles.
What products are formed in this reaction?
(a) Ca and H2 (b) Ca and H2O2 (c) Ca(OH)2 (d) CaH2
2) A student adds an equal amount of copper sulphate solution in two beakers. He adds zinc in beaker P
and silver in beaker Q. The student observes that the color of the solution in beaker P changes while
no change is observed in beaker Q. Which option arranges the metals in increasing order of
reactivity?
(a) silver-zinc-copper (b) zinc-copper- silver (c) silver-copper-zinc (d) copper-silver-zinc
3) Which option gives the process of extraction of mercury from its ore cinnabar?
(a) cooling cinnabar in the presence of excess air
(b) cooling cinnabar to convert it into mercuric oxide and then heating it
(c) cinnabar to convert it into mercuric oxide and then heating it again
(d) cinnabar in the presence of limited air to and then adding a small amount of water
4) A student notices that the surface of the iron swings in his society playground has turned brown over
the years. Which process must be done on the swings to save them from corroding?
(a) putting shades over swings
(b) swings from the playground
(c) covering the surface of the swings with paint
(d) the swings with black paper to protect them from sunlight

5) Bronze is an alloy of
(a) Copper and Zinc (b) Aluminium and Tin
c. Copper, Tin and Zinc (d) Copper and Tin 
6) Assertion : Highly reactive metals are obtained by electrolytic reduction.
Reason : In the electrolytic reduction, metal is deposited at the cathode.
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but reason is true
7) Assertion : Zinc carbonate is heated strongly in presence of air to form zinc oxide and carbon
dioxide.
Reason : Calcination is a process in which a carbonate ore is heated strongly in the absence of air to
convert into metal oxide.
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but reason is true.

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS:

8) A reddish-brown metal used in electrical wires when powered and heated strongly turns black. When
hydrogen is passed over these black substances, it regains its original colour. Based on this
information answer the following questions:
a) Name the metal and the black substance formed.

b) Write balanced chemical equations for two reactions involved in the above information.

LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS:

9) Name the ore of mercury. With the help of balanced chemical equations, explain the process of
extraction of mercury from its ore

10) i. With the help of a diagram explain the method of refining of copper by electrolysis.
ii. How are broken railway tracks joined? Give the name of the process and the chemical equation of
the reaction involved. 

11) On the basis of reactivity metals are grouped into three categories :
(i) Metals of low reactivity
(ii) Metals of medium reactivity
(iii) Metals of high reactivity
Therefore metals are extracted in pure form their ores on the basis of their chemical properties.
Metals of high reactivity are extracted from their ores by electrolysis of the molten ore.
Metals of low reactivity are extracted from their sulphide ores, which are converted into their oxides.
The oxides of these metals are reduced to metals by simple heating.
A) Name the process of reduction used for a metal that gives vigorous reaction with air and water both.
