IX. Answer the following questions : 3×2=6

20. The pH values of A, B and C solutions are 5, 6 and 7 respectively. Which of

these solutions is more acidic in nature ? Why ?

Ans. :

Solution A is more acidic. 1

As it has more H + ions. 1 2

b) Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.

Ans. :

a) Because, metals are good conductors of heat / having high melting

points / property of malleability. ( Any one ) 1

b) Sodium metal vigorously reacts with atmospheric oxygen and water, but

not with kerosene. 1 2

OR

a) The reaction of calcium with water is less violent. The heat evolved is

not sufficient for the hydrogen to catch fire. 1

b) Because a considerable amount of energy is required to break the

strong inter-ionic attraction. 1 2

X. Answer the following questions : 3×3=9

23. What is atomic size ? In the modern periodic table the atomic size decreases

along a ‘period’ and increases down the ‘group’. Why ? Explain.

Ans. :

The distance between the centre of the nucleus and the outermost shell

of an isolated atom. 1

In modern periodic table atomic size decreases along the period

because :

Electrons are being added to the outermost shell of an atom that tends

to pull the electrons closer to the nucleus / No new shells are added to

atom. 1

Atomic size increases down the group because :

New shells are being added, this increases the distance between the

outer most electrons and the nucleus. 1 3
