Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

1. What is the pH of a neutral solution?


Answer: (b) 7

2. In the reaction: NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O, NaOH is acting as a:


Answer: (c) Base

3. Which element in the periodic table has the highest electronegativity?


Answer: (b) Fluorine

Section B: Short Answer Questions

4. State the Arrhenius definitions of an acid and a base.


Answer: According to Arrhenius, an acid is a substance that dissociates in water to produce
hydrogen ions (H⁺), while a base is a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydroxide
ions (OH⁻).

5. What is the importance of the pH scale in daily life? Give two examples.
Answer:
The pH scale helps determine if a substance is acidic, basic, or neutral, which is crucial for
various daily tasks.
Examples:
Agriculture: Soil pH is important for plant growth; acidic or basic soil can affect nutrient
availability.
Human Health: The pH of body fluids, like blood (around 7.4), is essential for bodily
functions.

6. Explain why noble gases do not react easily with other elements.
Answer: Noble gases have a complete outer electron shell, making them chemically stable
and unreactive. This stability results from their low tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons.

Section C: Diagram-Based Questions

7. Draw the electron dot structure of NaCl. Describe the nature of bonding in this compound.
Answer: NaCl forms an ionic bond. Sodium (Na) loses one electron to become Na⁺, and
chlorine (Cl) gains one electron to become Cl⁻. The electron dot structure shows Na⁺ and Cl⁻
ions attracted to each other, indicating ionic bonding.
8. The pH chart below shows various substances. Label each substance as acidic, neutral, or
basic based on its pH value:
Answer:
pH < 7: Acidic
pH = 7: Neutral
pH > 7: Basic

Section D: Long Answer Questions

9. Describe the process of acid-base titration and explain its importance in determining the
concentration of a solution.
Answer:
Process: In an acid-base titration, a known concentration (titrant) solution is gradually added
to a solution of unknown concentration until a neutralization reaction occurs. An indicator shows
the endpoint by changing color.
Importance: This process helps determine the unknown concentration of a solution, which is
essential in various applications, such as quality control in the chemical industry and
pharmaceuticals.

10. Explain the trends in atomic size and metallic character as you move down a group and
across a period in the periodic table.
Answer:
Atomic Size:
Down a Group: Atomic size increases because additional electron shells are added, making the
atom larger.
Across a Period: Atomic size decreases from left to right as nuclear charge increases,
pulling electrons closer to the nucleus.
Metallic Character:
Down a Group: Metallic character increases as atoms are more likely to lose electrons due
to a weaker hold from the nucleus.
Across a Period: Metallic character decreases from left to right as atoms are more likely to
gain or share electrons rather than lose them.
