Solution 1995-1:
Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Electrolysis 20

Solution 1995-2:
It is the process of decomposition of an electrolyte in the molten or aqueous state by discharge of ions at the electrodes on the passage of an electric current.

Solution 1995-3:
Pure water does not conduct electricity because the degree of ionization is low. Thus to make it a good conductor of electricity acid is added to it which will increase the degree of ionization.

Solution 1996-1:
Substance which contain

  1. Ions only:- HCl
  2. Molecules only:- Petrol
  3. Both ions and molecules:- CH3COOH

Solution 1996-2:

  1. Electrolyte is a compound which either in aqueous solution or in molten state allows an electric current to pass through it and is accompanied by discharge of ions and finally into neutral atoms at the two electrodes.
  2. Non- electrolyte are substances which do not conduct electricity in fused or aqueous state. They contain only molecules and do not ionize. For example: petrol, alcohol.
  3. If the electrolyte is described as ‘strong electrolyte’ it means it completely dissociates into its constituting ions in aqueous solution.

Solution 1996-3:

  1. As for every copper ion discharged at the cathode, an ion of copper is formed at the anode which goes into the solution .Since atoms of copper are deposited at the cathode, the cathode becomesthicker and as the atoms of copper from the anode change into ions of copper, the anode becomes thinner.
  2. When platinum rods are used as electrodes, then x the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and sulphuric acid is formed. This is because oxygen is liberated at anode and copper metal is deposited at cathode
  3. Practical application of electrolysis of copper sulphate solution: This is the basis for purification of copper.
    Other metals like Zinc, Nickel, Silver .Lead can also be purified.

  1. Molecules are found in a liquid compound which is a non-electrolyte.
  2. Non ionized molecules;
  3. H+ and X– particles will be present in dilute solution.
  4. Loss, Gain
  5. The ions of the metal which is to be electroplated on the article must be present in a solution.
  6. Redox reaction is one in which oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously.
  7. Similarly in case of electrolysis:
    • At cathode: The cations gain electron and become neutral. As the electrons are gained the ion is said to be reduced.
    • At anode: The anions lose electron to form neutral atoms. As the electrons are lost the ion is said to be oxidized.
      Hence in electrolysis also the oxidation and reduction occurs hence it is an example of Redox reaction.

Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry – Chemical Bonding

by

Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry – Chemical Bonding

PAGE N0 : 39
Solution 1:
Chemical bond: A chemical bond may be defined as the linkage that stands for the force which actually holds the atoms together within the molecule.
Chemical bonding: The phenomenon during which a chemical bond is formed is called chemical bonding.

Solution 2:
Atoms combine to attain the electronic configuration of nearest inert gases as the atoms of inert gases are very stable having 8 electrons or duplet (or 2 electrons in case of helium atom) in their outermost shell.

Solution 3:
Electrovalent compounds: The chemical compounds containing electrovalent bonds are called electrovalent or ionic compounds.
For example: Sodium chloride (NaCl).
Covalent compounds: The chemical compound, formed as a result of mutual sharing of electrons or electron pairs thereby establishing a covalent bond is called a covalent or molecular compound.
For example: Hydrogen molecule (H2)

Solution 4:
The conditions for the formation of an electrovalent bond are:

  1. Low ionization energy of electropositive atom
  2. High electron affinity of the electronegative atom.
  3. Large electronegativity difference.
  4. High lattice energy.
    Concept Insight:

    • Lower is the ionization energy of atom, higher is its tendency to lose electron to form a cation and form ionic bond.
    • Higher the value of electron affinity of an atom, greater will be its tendency to form anion and form ionic bond.
    • If the electronegativity difference of two elements is higher, more easy will be the transfer of electrons and hence more chances of ionic bond formation.
    • Lattice energy is the energy released when positive and negatively charged atoms called ions come closer to form a crystal because the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions tend to decrease the energy of the system. Higher is the lattice energy, greater will be the ease of formation of the compound.

Solution 5:

Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Chemical Bonding 1

Solution 6:
Hydrogen chloride has a polar covalent bond because in hydrogen chloride the higher electronegativity of chlorine atom attracts the shared electron pair towards itself. As a result, the chlorine atom gets a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom gets a partial positive charge. Hence such a covalent bond with charge separation is called polar covalent bond.
While methane has a non polar covalent bond because in case of methane molecule the shared electron pairs are at equal distance from the carbon and hydrogen atoms, because neither the carbon atom nor the hydrogen atom has enough electronegativity difference between each other to attract the shared pairs of electrons towards itself. Hence no charge separation occurs in the covalent bond due to which it is called non polar covalent bond.
Concept Insight: When a covalent bond is formed between the atoms of the same elements of equal electronegativity then the electron pairs are shared equally between the atoms and the bond so formed is called non polar covalent bond. On the other hand, if the covalent bond is formed between atoms of different elements, with difference in electro negativity, the electrons are not shared equally between the atoms. The more electronegative atom pulls the bonded pair of electrons towards itself and acquires negative charge while the other less electro negative atom acquires positive charge and the bond becomes polar covalent bond.

Solution 7:
In terms of electron transfer, oxidation is defined as the phenomenon in which an atom loses electron to form a positively charged cation while reduction is defined as the phenomenon in which an atom gains electron to form a negatively charged ion called anion.
During formation of ionic bond one atom undergoes oxidation while another atom undergoes reduction.

PAGE NO : 48
Solution 8:
Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Chemical Bonding 2

Solution 9:
Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Chemical Bonding 3

Solution 10:

  1. Sodium chloride dissolves in water because it is an ionic compound and water is also a polar covalent compound. Water decreases the electrostatic forces of attraction among the sodium and chloride ions due to which these ions become free in water, hence sodium chloride dissolves.
    On the other hand, carbon tetra chloride has non polar covalent bond and water has polar covalent bond. Hence, water is unable to break the non polar covalent bond of carbon tetra chloride. So it is insoluble in water
  2. Helium does not form He2 molecule as it has its outermost shell complete i.e. two electrons in its valence shell. Due to this complete valence shell helium atom is very stable hence does not participate in chemical bonding to form  He2 molecule.
  3. Pure water does not conduct electricity because it has a polar covalent molecule hence does not have ions in it which can conduct electricity.
    On adding sodium chloride to pure water, sodium chloride breaks apart into sodium and chloride ions because water being polar decreases the strong forces of attraction among sodium and chloride ions. Now, pure water has ions present in it which can conduct electricity.
  4. Cl2 is a non polar molecule because the bond is between same atoms that is chlorine with zero electronegativity difference among them. So the shared electron pair is attracted equally by the two chlorine atoms hence there is no separation of charges in the bond formed so the chlorine molecule is non polar.
  5. In case of HCl the bond is formed between two different atoms that is hydrogen and chlorine with enough electro negativity difference so that the shared electron pair is attracted towards more electronegative chlorine atom which acquires partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires partial positive charge hence HCl is a polar molecule.
  6. Metals have low ionization energy due to which they can lose their outermost electrons easily to form positive metallic ions hence metals are electropositive.
    For example Sodium metal always form Na+ions, Potassium forms K+ ions etc.

Solution 11:

  1. (i) when the electro negativity difference between the two atoms is high then the bond formed will be purely ionic.
    (ii) When the electro negativity difference between the two atoms is low then the bond formed will be polar covalent bond.
    (iii) When the electro negativity difference between the two atoms is zero then the bond formed will be purely covalent.
  2. Ionic compounds = NO, NH4Cl, NH4NO3
    Covalent compounds = N2, NH2 , NO
    Polar compounds = NCl3

Concept Insight: Electro negativity difference between the bonded atoms determines the ease of transfer of electrons between the atoms. On the basis of extent of transfer of electrons between the two atoms the bond will be ionic, covalent or polar.

Solution 13:

  1. MgCl2, CaCl2.
  2. Urea, Glucose.
  3. CH4, benzene.
  4. SO2, H2S
  5. H2, N2

Solution 14:
The necessary conditions for the formation of covalent molecule are:

  1. Number of valence electrons: Both the participating atoms should have four or more valence electrons in their valence shell.
  2. Equal electro negativities: The combining atoms should have equal electro negativities so that no transfer of electrons takes place.
  3. Equal electron affinities: The combining atoms should also have equal electron affinities i.e. equal attraction for electrons.
  4. Ionization energy: It should be high for both the atoms so that there is no chance of removal of electrons.
  5. High nuclear charge and small inter nuclear distance: Both these conditions favor the formation of covalent bond because during the formation of a covalent bond the electron density gets concentrated between the nuclei of the combining atoms and this electronic charge is responsible for holding the two nuclei together.
    The properties of covalent compounds are:
  6. Nature: They are generally volatile liquids or gases. Some may be gases like urea, sugar etc.
  7. Low melting and boiling points: Since the intermolecular forces of attraction are weak, very small amount of heat energy is required to overcome these forces hence their melting and boiling points are low.
  8. Electrical conductivity: Since covalent compounds are made up of molecules and not ions, so they do not conduct electricity.
  9. Solubility: These are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
  10. Ionization in solution: These do not ionize when dissolved in water except some polar covalent compounds like HCl.
  11. Molecular reactions: These participate in reactions as a molecule so the reactions are called molecular reactions. These are slow reactions.

Solution 15:
Coordinate bond: The bond formed between two atoms by a pair of electrons, provided entirely by one of the combining atoms, is called a coordinate bond or dative bond.
Conditions for the formation of coordinate bond:

  1. One of the two atoms must have at least one lone pair of electrons.
  2. Another atom should be short of at least a lone pair of electrons.

Solution 16:
Lone pair: A pair of electrons which is not shared with any other atom is known as the lone pair of electrons.
For example in NH3, Nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons which is not shared with any hydrogen atom.
Shared pair: A pair of electrons which is shared with other atoms to form a bond is known as shared pair of electrons.
For example in HCl the pair of electrons responsible for bond formation between H and Cl is called shared pair.

Solution 17:
Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Chemical Bonding 5

Solution 18:

  1. The forces of attraction between the molecules of covalent compounds are weak because the molecules are neutral. So, they are generally gases or liquids or soft solids.
  2. Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point because the intermolecular forces of attraction among the molecules of covalent compounds are weak. Hence very small amount of heat energy is required to overcome the attraction between the molecules.
  3. On the basis of principle like dissolves like we can interpret the insolubility of non polar covalent compounds. Since water is a polar covalent compound that is it has positively and negatively charged ends but the non-polar covalent compounds do not have any kind of charge separation. So water molecules are unable to interact with the molecules of non polar compound and break apart the intermolecular forces of attraction among non-polar molecules making them soluble in water.
  4. Polar covalent compounds are good conductors of electricity because when these are dissolved in water, they ionize and act as electrolyte to produce ions which are responsible for conduction of electricity.
    Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Chemical Bonding 11
    For example polar covalent compound HCl in water behaves as:
    These hydronium and chloride ions produced on dissolution of HCl in water are responsible for conduction of electricity.

Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry – Periodic Properties and Variation of Properties

by

Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry – Periodic Properties and Variation of Properties

PAGE NO : 16
Solution 1:
Modern periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers i.e., if the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic numbers, the elements with similar properties are repeated after definite regular intervals.
Concept Insight: The elements are characterized by their atomic number as well as atomic weight. Modern periodic law uses atomic number which is number of protons or number of electrons present in an atom of an element.

Solution 2:
Modern periodic table consists of eighteen groups and seven periods.
Concept Insight: Classification of elements on the basis of increasing atomic number is known as Modern Periodic Table. The vertical columns are called groups and the horizontal rows are called periods.

Solution 3:
The recurrence of similar properties of elements after certain regular intervals when they are arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers is called periodicity.
Concept Insight: Periodicity in properties is due to the repetition of similar outer electronic configuration of elements at certain regular intervals.

Solution 4:
In general, the elements belonging to a group have the same number of valence electrons .For example, all the group 1 elements have valency one since they have only one electron in their outermost shell.
In general, the elements belonging to a period do not have same valency but their valence shell remains the same. For example, second period has 8 elements with atomic number 3 to 10 but in all of them the valence electrons are present in shell number two.
Concept Insight: For elements in a group the number of electrons present in the outermost shell is the same and therefore the elements have same valency and or elements in a period number of electrons present in the outermost shell of elements in a period increase from left to right but the shell does remains the same.

Solution 5:
Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine because of the small size of fluorine which results in stronger repulsion between the electron and the electrons already present in the atom of fluorine. Hence the energy released in accepting an electron is lesser in fluorine than that of chlorine.
Concept Insight: For answering this question you should recall that electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom to form an anion. Due to small size of fluorine atom, the valence shell is already crowded, hence when an electron is added to a fluorine atom in gaseous state there occurs strong repulsion between the added electron and those already present in the atom hence less amount of energy is released.

Solution 6:

  1. The element with highest first ionization energy: Neon (Ne)
  2. The element with highest electro negativity: Fluorine (F)
  3. The element with largest atomic size: Lithium (Li)
  4. The most reactive non-metal: Fluorine
  5. The most reactive metal: Lithium
  6. Concept Insight:
    • Neon has highest ionization energy since it is a noble gas and has its octet complete which makes it very stable.
    • Fluorine has highest electronegativity as we know that electro negativity increases along a period due to decreasing atomic size and increasing nuclear charge.
    • Lithium has the largest atomic size since it is an alkali metal i.e., belongs to group 1 and we know that as we move from left to right in a period atomic size decreases. So lithium has largest size while fluorine has smallest size in second period.
    • Fluorine is most reactive non metal as it requires only one electron to complete its octet and become stable.
    • Lithium is the most reactive metal as it can complete its octet by losing its single electron present in its outermost shell.

PAGE NO : 17
Solution 7:

  1. The most metallic element will be found at C.
  2. The most non-metallic element will be found at D.

Concept Insight: For answering this question you should recall metallic character increases down the group and also increases with the increasing size of the atom. Since elements of group 1 has largest atomic sizes among all the elements of periodic table so the most metallic element belongs to group 1.
Similarly, non-metallic character decreases down the group and increases with the decreasing size of atom.

  1. 18, 7.
  2. First.
  3. Seventeen.
  4. Electron affinity.
  5. Decrease, increase
  6. Fluorine
  7. Zero.

Solution 10:

  1. False.
  2. True.
  3. True.
  4. True.
  5. True.
  6. True.

Concept Insight: (i) There is inverse relation between atomic size and electron affinity. More is the size, less is the electron affinity and vice versa because more is the size of atom, more is the distance between the nucleus and last shell to which electron enters. This results in decrease in force of attraction between the nucleus and incoming electron and hence the electron affinity decreases. Fluorine has smaller size than chlorine so it must have less electron affinity than chlorine.

Solution 11:

  1. Li < Be < B
  2. I < Br < F < Cl
  3. SiO2 < P2O5 < SO3 < Cl2O7
  4. I+ < I < I–

Concept Insight:

  1. Li, Be, B belongs to second period and ionization energy increase as we move left to right in a period due to increased nuclear charge and decrease of atomic size.
  2. Electron affinity decreases down the group due to increase in atomic size as it results in more distance between nucleus and last shell to which incoming electron enters. Hence, incoming electron feels less attraction from the nucleus.
  3. In a period, acidic nature of oxide increases.
  4. Size of a cation is always smaller than the corresponding atom due to decrease in number of electrons and increase in effective nuclear charge i.e., greater force of attraction by the nucleus on the electrons.
    Size of an anion is always more than the corresponding atom due to decrease in effective nuclear charge i.e., lesser force of attraction by the nucleus o the electrons.

Solution 12:
The statement that in each period, the atomic size gradually decreases with increase in atomic number means that as move from left to right in a period, nuclear charge increases by one unit in each succeeding element while the number of shells remains the same. Due to this increased nuclear charge, the electrons of all the shells are pulled closer to the nucleus thereby bringing the outer most shell closer to the nucleus. With the result, the atomic size decreases across a period.
For example, in the second period from lithium to fluorine, lithium has the largest size while fluorine has the smallest size.

Solution 13:
In the case of noble gases or inert gases there are exceptions and the atomic radius or size of the elements are greater than the other elements of the period to which these elements belong.

PAGE NO : 18
Solution 14:
As we move down a group, the atomic radii increase because a new shell is added at each succeeding element though the number of electrons in the outer most shell remains the same. Thus, the atomic size of elements increases in size downward.
Although nuclear charge also increases in going down the group but the effect of nuclear charge on atomic size is much less than the increase due to addition of a new shell.
In group 17, the atomic size follows the trend:
F < Cl < Br < I

Solution 15:
The elements of third period are:
Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar
The most metallic element is sodium i.e., Na and the most non-metallic element is chlorine i.e., Cl.
Concept Insight:
In a period, metallic character decreases on moving from left to right because of decrease in size of atom due to which elements cannot lose electron easily.

Solution 16:
Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Periodic Properties and Variation of Properties 2

Solution 17:
Frank ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry - Periodic Properties and Variation of Properties 3

Solution 18:
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom to form the negative ion (anion).
Unit: Its units are electron volt (eV).
Its SI units are Kilojoules per mole(KJmol)-1

Solution 19:
Out of A and B, A will ionize more easily to form a negative anion because of the high value of electron affinity, energy released during addition of electron will be high hence the resulting anion formed will be more stable than the corresponding atom.

Solution 20:

  1. Larger the atomic size, farther is the valence electron from the nucleus and lesser is the pull exerted on it. As a result, electron can be easily removed from the valence shell and hence more metallic is the element.
  2. Halogens need only one electron to complete their octet and become stable their atomic size is very less hence the distance between their last shell and nucleus is very less, as a result the force of attraction between the nucleus and the incoming electron is less and hence the electron affinity is high for halogens.
  3. When an atom loses or gain electron to form ion, the number of electrons present in the outermost shell also changes. Corresponding to that effective nuclear charge on the changed number of electrons also change which further changes the size of an atom as there is inverse relation between effective nuclear charge and size of atom.
  4. K and Li belongs to group 1 i.e., metals and we know that for metals chemical reactivity of elements increases down the group because chemical reactivity increases as electropositive or metallic character increases.
  5. The electronegativity of chlorine is higher than sulphur because both of them belong to third group and chlorine follows sulphur. We know that, within a period electronegativity increases as we move from left to right because of decrease in atomic size and increase in nuclear charge.
  6. Group 17 elements are non metals because they have 7 electrons in their valence shell and ionize by accepting 1 electron to form an anion.
    For example group 17 elements F, Cl, Br and I all have 7 electrons in their valence shell and ionize by accepting 1 electron to form F–, Cl–, Br– and I–.
    Group 1 elements are metals because they have tendency to lose the one electron present in their valence shell and form positive ion.
    For example, group 1 elements Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs have tendency to lose the one electron present in their valence shell and form positive ions Li+., Na+., K+., Rb+.and Cs+.

Solution 21:

  1. (C) i.e. 2, 8, 2 because it has only 2 electrons in its valence shell which can be lost to form a di positive cation.
  2. (C) i.e. 0.72, 0.72
  3. (d) i.e. element forms basic oxide because the element is a metal as it has valency 1.
  4. (a) i.e. F because it belongs to group 17 whose elements have valency 7 and thus requires only 1 electron to complete their octet.

Solution 2000-1:

  1. Number of elements in period 1 = 2
    In period 2 = 8
    In period 3 = 8.
  2. Elements in period 1 are Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).
  3. Atomic size of elements decreases on moving from left to right in a period.

Solution 2000-2:

  1. The elements at the end of period 2 and period 3 both have their outermost shell complete and belong to noble gases.
  2. An element in group 7 is likely to be non metallic in character since group 7 element will have 7 electrons in its valence shell.
  3. Metallic.

  4. Number of outer electrons.

Solution 2002-1:
A group is a vertical column of elements having the same number of valence electrons and same valency in the periodic table. There are 18 groups in the periodic table.

Solution 2002-2:
Within a group the element with the greatest metallic character and largest size is expected to be present at the bottom of the group.

Solution 2002-3:
Ionization potential decreases down the group because atomic size increases down the group which decreases the effective nuclear charge over the valence electron which further can now be removed easily.

Solution 2002-4:
There are 8 elements in period 2.

Solution 2003-1:

  1. Al2(SO4)3
  2. Covalent.
  3. The elements of group VIIA all have same number of electrons in their valence shell and same valency.

  2. Boron
  3. 3

  5. The elements in the group to the right of this boron group will be less metallic in character because on moving to the right of the periodic table metallic character decreases as ionization energy deceases and tendency to lose electron also decreases.
