7. 4Zn + 10HNO₃ → 3H₂O + NH₄NO₃ + 4Zn(NO₃)₂

📘 Prediction of Bond Type Using Electronegativity

Electronegativity difference (ΔE.N.) helps predict bond nature:
➡️ If ΔE.N. > 1.7 — bond is ionic
➡️ If ΔE.N. < 1.7 — bond is covalent
➡️ If ΔE.N. > 0.5 and < 1.7 — bond is polar covalent (partially ionic)

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) was proposed by Boltzmann, Maxwell, and Kelvin. It explains the structure and behavior of solids, liquids, and gases. All matter is made of tiny particles in constant random motion with kinetic energy. State of matter depends on particle arrangement, motion, and intermolecular forces.

🌬️ Gaseous State

1. Molecules are far apart and have negligible volume.
2. Move randomly in straight lines until collision.
3. Collisions are elastic — no energy loss.
4. Pressure is due to wall collisions.
5. Weak attractive and repulsive forces.

💧 Liquid State

1. Molecules are randomly arranged but closer than gases.
2. Lower kinetic energy than gases.
3. Molecules move freely but not compressible.
4. No fixed shape — takes container’s shape.
5. Boiling point depends on external pressure.

🧊 Solid State

1. Molecules are tightly packed with strong attraction.
2. Cannot move freely — only vibrate in place.
3. Definite shape and volume.
4. Sharp melting point for pure solids.

📊 Comparison of Three States of Matter (KMT)

S # Gas Liquid Solid

What is diffusion and Graham’s law of diffusion of gases?
Which gas from among CO₂, CH₄ and NH₃ will diffuse the fastest and why? Give the reason.

📘 Diffusion

Diffusion is the spontaneous mixing of molecules from high to low concentration due to random motion. It leads to gradual mixing and formation of a homogeneous mixture.

🌬️ Why Gases Diffuse Rapidly

Gas molecules move freely and quickly, allowing rapid diffusion.

📘 Graham’s Law of Diffusion

Proposed by Thomas Graham (1846), it states:
“Rate of diffusion ∝ 1 / √(molar mass or density)”
Lighter gases diffuse faster than heavier ones under same conditions.

🔍 Which Gas Diffuses Fastest?

Among CO₂, CH₄ and NH₃:
NH₃ has the lowest molar mass → diffuses fastest
CO₂ has the highest molar mass → diffuses slowest
CH₄ is in between

Order of diffusion rate: CO₂ < CH₄ < NH₃

Q21. Describe the Boyle's law or Charles’s law with example.
Answer

🧪 Boyle’s Law (Pressure–Volume Law)

Presenter: Robert Boyle(1662), explains the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.
📌 Statements
➡️At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
👉 OR
➡️The product of pressure and volume of a given mass of a gas at constant temperature remains constant.

📐 Mathematical Expression

V ∝ 1 / P (Temperature constant)
V = K × 1 / P (Removing proportionality sign (∝) by introducing a constant)
P × V = K (Constant)
📘 Where:
K = Proportionality constant (depends upon amount of gas, temperature, and units of P and V)

🔄 Second Form of Boyle’s Law

If pressure changes from P₁ to P₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂:
P₁V₁ = K …(1)
P₂V₂ = K …(2) [👉 Comparing equation (1) and (2).]
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ = K
(Where: P₁ = initial pressure, P₂ = final pressure, V₁ = initial volume, V₂ = final volume)

🧪 Experimental Verification

The relationship between volume and pressure at constant temperature is shown in the following figure. Where given mass of a gas at constant temperature shows increase in volume by decrease in pressure. While increase in pressure decreases volume. But in both cases, the product of pressure and volume is constant.

Change in pressure (P)= 1.0, Change in volume (V) = 4; PV = K (Constant) = 1.0 × 4 = 4
Change in pressure (P): 2.0, Change in volume (V): 2; PV = K (Constant) = 2.0 × 2 = 4
In all cases, PV remains constant.
At constant temperature:
📉 Increase in pressure → 📉 Decrease in volume
📉 Decrease in pressure → 📈 Increase in volume
Conclusion: 🔹 Boyle’s law → Pressure ↑, Volume ↓ (T constant)

🧪 Charles’ Law (Volume–Temperature Law)

Presenter: Jacques Charles (1787) explains the relationship between volume and absolute temperature at constant pressure.
📌 Statement
The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute (Kelvin) temperature.
👉 OR
At constant pressure, the ratio of volume of a gas to its absolute temperature remains constant.

📐 Mathematical Expression

V ∝ T (Pressure constant)
V = KT (Removing proportionality sign by introducing a constant)
V / T = K (Constant)
📘 Where K is the proportionality constant.

🔄 Second Form of Charles’ Law

If volume changes from V₁ to V₂ and temperature from T₁ to T₂:
V₁ / T₁ = K …(1)
V₂ / T₂ = K …(2) 👉 Comparing (1) and (2):
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ = K

🌡️ Absolute Temperature Scale (Kelvin Scale)

Introduced by Lord Kelvin.
➡️ Starts from 0 K (absolute zero).
➡️ 0 K = –273°C
➡️ At absolute zero, an ideal gas would have zero volume.

📘 Conversion formulas:
K = °C + 273
°C = K – 273

🧪 Experimental Verification & Example

According to Charles’ law:
If absolute temperature is doubled, volume also doubles (at constant pressure).
Example:
➡️ At 300 K, volume = V (2.5L)
➡️ At 600 K, volume = 2V (5.0 L)
Conclusion: Temperature ↑, Volume ↑ (P constant)

Define vapour pressure. How equilibrium state involved in vapour pressure of liquids in close system? Describe the factors which affect on vapour pressure
Answer

🌫️ Vapour Pressure

📌 Definition
Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapours of a liquid when they are in equilibrium with its pure liquid at a given temperature.

⚖️ Equilibrium State & Origin of Vapour Pressure

Vapour pressure is observed only in a closed system 🔒.
In an open system, liquid molecules escape continuously and mix with air, so equilibrium is not established.

In a closed container:
💨 Liquid molecules evaporate into vapour.
🌧️ Vapour molecules condense back into liquid.
➡️ After some time, the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation.
➡️ At this stage, a dynamic equilibrium is established.
➡️ The pressure exerted by vapour molecules at equilibrium is called vapour pressure.

📐 Units of Vapour Pressure

🧪 mm of Hg
🌍 Atmosphere (atm)
⚖️ Torr
📏 Newton per meter square (N/m² or Pascal)

🔍 Factors Affecting Vapour Pressure

(i) 🌊 Nature of Liquid
Polar liquids → strong intermolecular forces → evaporate less easily → lower vapour pressure than non‑polar liquids
📌 Example
💧 Water (polar) → lower vapour pressure
🍷 Alcohol (less polar / non‑polar) → higher vapour pressure


(ii) 📏 Size of Molecules
Smaller molecules escape more easily from the liquid surface.
Therefore, smaller molecules have higher vapour pressure than larger ones.
📌 Example
Hexane (C₆H₁₄) → smaller molecule → higher vapour pressure
Decane (C₁₀H₂₂) → larger molecule → lower vapour pressure

(iii) 🌡️ Temperature
Rule: Vapour pressure increases with increase in temperature.
Reason: Higher temperature increases kinetic energy of molecules, causing faster evaporation.
📌 Example
Vapour pressure of water:
At 0°C → 4.58 mm Hg
At 100°C → 760 mm Hg

Q22. Define the term solubility. How does nature of solute and solvent determine the extent of dissolution? Why the solubility of a salt increases with the increase in temperature?
Answer

🧪 Definition

Solubility is the amount of solute (g) that dissolves in 100 g or 100 mL of solvent to make a saturated solution at room temperature.
Units:
➡️ g/100 g water or g/100 mL water 🌊
➡️ mol/L or mol/dm³ (The practical and S.I. unit) ⚛️

⚡ Factors Affecting Solubility

➡️ Nature of solute & solvent 🧩
➡️ Temperature 🌡️
➡️ Pressure 💨

1️⃣ Effect of Nature of Solute & Solvent / General Principles of Solubility

Principle: “Like dissolves like” (Substances with similar intermolecular forces tend to dissolve in each other.) ✅
➡️ Polar or ionic solutes → dissolve in polar solvents 💧
➡️ Non‑polar solutes → dissolve in non‑polar solvents 🛢️
Examples:
➡️ Na₂CO₃, sugar, alcohol being polar → dissolve in water (polar) 🌊
➡️ Non‑polar substances → dissolve in non‑polar solvents, not in water ❌

2️⃣ Effect of Temperature

➡️ Solids in liquids: Solubility increases with temperature 🌡️🔥
Example: Hot water dissolves more sugar than cold water 🍬

➡️ Gases in liquids: Solubility decreases with temperature ❄️➡️🔥
Example: Air bubbles appear when warm water is poured into a glass 💨

Q23. State and explain Faraday’s Laws of electrolysis.
Answer

✨ Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis ✨

🧪 Faraday, a British chemist, discovered the relationship between electric current and the amount of substance deposited or liberated at electrodes. He formulated 2 important laws:

1️⃣ Faraday’s First Law of Electrolysis

📜 Statement:
The amount of substance deposited or released at an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity (Q) passed through the electrolyte. ⚡

🔢 Mathematical Form

w ∝ Q (Q= Quantity of electricity passed)
OR
w ∝ A × t [proportionality sign is removed by introducing a constant]
w = Z⋅A⋅t (or w = Z⋅Q)

Where:
w = mass of substance (kg or g)
Z = proportionality constant called electrochemical equivalent (E.C.E.) of substance 🟡
Q = total charge = current (A) × time (s) ⏱️

The electrochemical equivalent (Z) is the weight of the substance collected at the electrodes when one coulomb of electric charge is passed through the electrolyte (or 1 ampere electric current for 1 second).
Unit of Z: Its S.I. unit is kg/C and C.G.S. unit is g/C.
💡 Note: Each element has a unique Z, i.e., the mass deposited per coulomb of charge.

2️⃣ Faraday’s Second Law of Electrolysis

📜 Statement:
For the same quantity of electricity, the amounts of different substances deposited are proportional to their chemical equivalent masses. ⚖️
Mass deposited ∝ Chemical equivalent for different elements under same Q.

💎 Chemical Equivalent (e or C.E)

It is the mass of an element deposited by 1 Faraday (F = 96500 C) of electric charge. 1 Faraday of charge deposits 1 gram equivalent of a substance.
Equivalent weight of element = atomic weight / valency

📌 Examples:
Equivalent Mass / chemical equivalent of Al = 27(g)/3 = 9 g
Equivalent Mass / chemical equivalent of Ag = 108/1 = 108 g
Equivalent Mass / chemical equivalent of Cu = 63.5/2 = 31.75 g

Q25. Explain electronegative character of non-metals or electropositive character of metals. Discuss the reactivity of Halogens
Answer

✨ Electronegative & Electropositive Characters ✨

1️⃣ Electronegative Character of Non-Metals ⚡

📜 Definition:
It is tendency of a non-metal to gain electrons and form anions (X + ē → X⁻).

🔹 Reason of High electronegative character of Halogens
Reason: Small atomic size & high nuclear charge → attract electrons easily ⚡
Example: Cl + ē → Cl⁻

🔹 Factors Affecting Electronegativity:
📏 Atomic Size (Inversely proportional); Atomic size ⬇️ → Electronegativity ⬆️
⚡ Nuclear charge (Directly proportional); Nuclear charge ⬆️ → Electronegativity ⬆️

🔹 Periodic Trend / Periodic Variation:
➡️ Across a period → Electronegativity ⬆️ (smaller atoms, higher nuclear charge)
➡️ Down a group → Electronegativity ⬇️ (larger atoms, lesser nuclear charge)

🧪 Trend of Reactivity of Halogens

🔹 Trend: Reactivity ⬇️ down the group (F₂ > Cl₂ > Br₂ > I₂)
Reason: Increasing atomic size and decreasing electronegativity down the group.

🔹 Key Reactions:
1️⃣ Oxidizing Power / Oxidizing Agents:
Reason: Halogens accept electrons easily acting as oxidizing agents.
⚡ 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
⚡ 2K + I₂ → 2KI

Order of Oxidizing Power down the group: Decreases; F₂ (most reactive) > Cl₂ > Br₂ > I₂ (least reactive)
Example: Fluorine being most reactive can displace other Halogens due to its highest oxidizing power.

🔄 Displacement Reactions:
More reactive halogen displaces less reactive.
• 2KI + Cl₂ → 2KCl + I₂
• 2KCl + F₂ → 2KF + Cl₂
• 2KBr + F₂ → 2KF + Br₂

➕ Addition with Hydrogen: Form halogen acids
H₂ + X₂ → 2HX (X = F, Cl, Br, I)

🔹 Acidic Strength of HX:
Order of acid strength: HI > HBr > HCl > HF
Reason: Increasing size of the halogen atom down the group.
HF weakest → Strong H‑bonding, doesn’t ionize easily and donate proton in water.

2️⃣ Electropositivity of Metals 🔋

📜 Definition:
Tendency of a metal to lose electrons and form cations (M → Mⁿ⁺ + nē).

Reason:
Metals are highly electropositive, due to this property they easily lose their valence shell electrons.
Example: Al → Al³⁺ + 3ē ⚡

🔹 Relation to Metallic Character:
Greater electropositivity → stronger metallic nature.

🔹 Factors Affecting Electropositivity:
📏 Larger size and weaker effective nuclear charge increase metallic character.
➡️ Ionization potential (Inversely proportional); Ionization energy ⬇️ → Electropositivity ⬆️
➡️ Atomic Size (Directly proportional); Atomic size ⬆️ → Electropositivity ⬆️

🔹 Periodic Trend / Periodic Variation:
Increases down a group with increasing atomic size due to fall in I.P. values.
Example:
• Electropositivity K > Na (Group IA) due to low I.P of K.
• Electropositivity Al > B (Group IIIA) due to low I.P of Al.

🔹 High Reactivity of Alkali Metals:
➡️ ns¹ configuration → low ionization energy → lose electron easily → Highly electropositive and strong reducing agents.
➡️ Highly reactive → Never found free in nature 🌍.

🔥📘Answers of Section-B (Short-answer questions)

Q1. Define any three of the following:
Answer
Valency
Valency is defined as the number which expresses the combining or displacing tendency of an element with other elements and it is the number of electrons lost or gained or shared by an atom of the element during a chemical reaction in order to complete its outermost shell (Octet).

Electronegativity
The relative ability or power of an atom in a molecule to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself is called electronegativity. Electronegativity is dimensionless quantity i.e. it has no unit.

Electron affinity
Affinity means attraction, therefore, electron affinity means tendency to accept electron to form anion. The amount of energy released when an electron is added in the outermost shell of a gaseous atom is called electron affinity denoted as E.A. It is expressed in kJ/mol.

Tyndall effect
The scattering of visible light by Colloidal particles is called Tyndall effect discovered by Physicist John Tyndall.

Free radical
Free radicals are atoms and group of atoms having number of unpaired electrons. For example CH

Molecular ion
when a molecule loses or gains electrons is called molecular ions. For example Ho, CHo

Mole
Mole is the S.I. base unit of chemical amount of substance. A mole of a substance can be defined as the atomic mass or molecular mass or formula mass of a substance (element or compound) expressed in gram containing 6.02 x 10²³ particles (Atoms, molecules or ions). A mole is defined as “amount of substance containing equal to the Avogadro’s number 6.02 x 10²³.

Molar volume
The volume occupied by one mole of any gas at s.t.p is 22.4 dm³
 (Litre) and is referred to as Molar Volume.
1 mole of a gas at S.T.P = 22.4 dm³ mol¹

Empirical formula
It is the type of formula which expresses only the minimum relative numbers of each type of atoms in a molecule of a compound. E.F of a compound is determined by experimental analysis. Empirical Formula tells us the type of element present in it.

Molecular formula
It is the type of formula which expresses the actual number of atoms of each element present in a molecule of a substance. Molecular formula is same as empirical formula or it may be an integral multiple of empirical formula.

Molarity
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per 1 dm³ (1 liter) of a solution denoted by M.

Concentration
The proportion of solute in a solution is called concentration. The concentration (strength) of a solution is the ratio of amount (mass or volume) of the solute present in known amount of solvent or solution.

False solution
A homogenous mixture in which solute particles are larger than those present in the true solution but not large enough to be seen by naked eyes are called false solution or colloidal solution.

Mass by volume percent (%m/v)
It is the mass of the solute in grams dissolved per 100cm3 of the solution.

Freezing Point
The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid state becomes equal to the vapour pressure of its solid state is known as Freezing Point of a liquid. At this temperature liquid and solid coexist in dynamic equilibrium.

Absolute zero
It is the temperature at which an ideal gas would have zero volume. It is equal to –273°C.

Allotropy
The existence of an element in more than one crystalline forms is known as allotropy. These forms of the element are called allotropes or allotropic forms.

Q3. What is meant by atomic number and mass number. Define and give uses of isotopes. Discuss the isotopes of Hydrogen or carbon or uranium. Mention the number of electrons, protons and neutrons in following atoms:
Answer
Atomic Number
The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom of an element is called atomic number (Z).

Mass Number
The sum of number of protons and neutrons of an atom is called mass number (A).

Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms of the same element having SAME ATOMIC NUMBER (OR SAME NUMBER OF PROTONS (and also electrons) but DIFFERENT MASS NUMBERS or atomic masses (or DIFFERENT NUMBER OF NEUTRONS)”. (Different isotopes of an element display the same chemical properties due to their identical electronic configuration but they have different physical properties because of their different atomic masses).

Applications of Isotopes

Isotopes of Hydrogen
There are three isotopes of hydrogen namely protium or ordinary hydrogen, deuterium or heavy hydrogen, tritium or radioactive hydrogen.


Isotopes of Carbon
There are two stable isotopes and one radioactive isotope of carbon. The carbon-12 contain 6 proton and 6 neutron, Carbon-13 possess 6 proton and 7 neutron, carbon-14 contain 6 proton and 8 neutron. Carbon 12 is the most abundant (98.889%) isotope.

Explain the importance of glues and epoxy resins in our society.
Answer
Synthetic adhesives like epoxy resins and glues are the substance that stick to the surface of the other objects.
Epoxy glue contains epoxy. Its form strong bonds with glass, plastics, plywood, laminated boards and ceramic. Another use for epoxy resin is the decorative flooring applications. Commonly, epoxy resins are used where water resistance is required. Bridges, dams, power stations are also coated with epoxy resins.
Explain how Aircrafts, cars, trucks and boats parts are partially held together with epoxy adhesive
The excellent adhesive properties of epoxy resins are due to the attractive forces between the epoxy resin and the surface of the substrate. One of the most common uses of epoxy resin is for adhesive purposes. For that purpose, epoxy resin is used in the construction of vehicles, trucks, boats and aircrafts. Its drying time is 6-30 minutes hardly.

What is coordinate covalent bond? Explain with two examples.
Answer
Definition and Representation
It is a special type of covalent bond which is proposed by Sidgwick who named it as Dative Bond.
The type of bond in which bond pair of electrons is contributed by one atom only, is called coordinate covalent or dative covalent bond.
Examples
1. Formation of Ammonium Chloride by the Reaction between Ammonia and Hydrogen Chloride
The reaction between ammonia and hydrogen chloride involves the formation of a dative bond between N atom in NH3 containing lone pairs and H+ ion from HCl. When ammonia reacts with hydrogen ions (H+) in an aqueous solution of an acid, the hydrogen ion is attracted to the lone pair and a coordinate covalent bond is formed.


2. Formation of Oxonium/Hydronium Ion
In the formation of oxonium or hydronium ion (H3O+) from water molecule and hydrogen ion or proton, H+ (released by acid like HCl in aqueous solution), the oxygen atom of water donates its lone pair to hydrogen ion, H+ for one-sided sharing to make co-ordinate covalent bond.

Q7. Write down any three points of atomic model proposed by Schrodinger or Bohr.
Answer
In 1926 Erwin Schrödinger, an Austrian physicist, Schrödinger used mathematical equations to describe the likelihood of finding an electron in a certain position. This atomic model is known as the quantum mechanical model of the atom. He found electrons are in orbit as an electron cloud.
Basic Postulates
1. electron can be found in various location around the nucleus as a fuzzy electron cloud. The place where the probability of finding an electron within certain volume of space surrounding the nucleus is maximum and electron cloud is denser is called atomic orbital.
2. Each energy subshell in an orbit has different shapes which determine the presence of electron.
3. Different subshells or orbitals are named as s, p, d and f with different shapes. e.g. s-orbital is spherical and p-orbital is dumbbell shaped.
4. The numbers and kind of atomic orbitals depends on the energy subshell.

Describe wave particle duality of electron of De Broglie Hypothesis? Prove that modern theory of de Broglie is related with Einstein and Plank's equations.
Answer
In 1923 Lois de Broglie extend the wave particle duality to electron, and propose a hypothesis that all matter has particle as well as wave nature at the submicroscopic level. de Broglie combined the Einstein and Planck equations to derive its de-Broglie’ equation. The wave nature of a particle is quantified by de Broglie wavelength defined as λ = h/p where p is the momentum of the particle.
All matter (material) particles in motion have a dual character exhibiting both particle and wave nature i.e. electrons, protons, neutrons, atoms, and molecules possess the characteristics of both the material particle and a wave. This is called wave-particle Duality in matter.
de-Broglie derived a mathematical equation known as de-Broglie’s equation which relates the wavelength (λ) of the material particle (electron) of mass m moving with velocity v to its momentum (mv = p):
λ = h/mv or λ = h/p
Proof
E = hν [According to Planck’s equation]
And
E = mc² [According to Einstein’s mass-energy equation]

hu = mc² [By equating the two energies]

But

ν = c/ λ [∵ c = h/ λ]

hc/ λ = mc²

h/ λ = mc²/c

h/ λ = mc

λ = h/mc

Considering that nature is symmetrical, we apply this equation to the moving electron of mass m thereby deriving de-Broglie’s equation and velocity.
λ = h/mv [de-Broglie’s equation]

Justify that Rutherford atomic model has defects? What are Limitations of Bohr's Atomic Model?
Answer
Justification of Rutherford Atomic Model has Defects
Neil Bohr pointed out some serious defects in Rutherford’s Atomic Model:
1. Rutherford did not explain the stability of an atom.
2. According to the Classical Physics, since electron is revolving around the nucleus constantly it should lose energy continuously and it ultimately falls into the nucleus.
3. If the revolving electron continuously emits energy, then there would be a continuous spectrum but in contrast to, a line spectrum is obtained from the atoms of elements.

Limitations of Bohr’s Atomic Model
1. It failed to explain the Zeeman Effect (effect of magnetic field on the spectra of atoms).
2. It also failed to explain the Stark effect (effect of electric field on the spectra of atoms).
3. It is against the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
4. It could not explain the spectra obtained from larger atoms.
5. It explained the mono-electronic species like H⁺, Li²⁺, B³⁺.

Prediction of Nature of Bond Using Electronegativity
The electronegativity values help to decide the nature of bond between two atoms.
1. if the difference in the electronegativities of bonded atoms is more than 1.7, then the bond is ionic.
2. if the difference in the electronegativities of bonded atoms is less than 1.7, then the bond is covalent
3. If the difference in electronegativities is zero or less than 0.5, then the bond is pure covalent or non-polar covalent bond. e.g. H–H, O=O, N≡N, NCl₃, CH₄, F–F, Cl–Cl, I–I, Br–Br, etc.
4. If the difference in electronegativities is more than 0.5 but less than 1.7, then the bond is polar covalent or partially ionic in character e.g. H – F, H – Cl, H – O – H etc.).
If ΔE.N. > 1.7 –––– bond will be ionic.
If ΔE.N. < 1.7 –––– bond will be covalent.
If ΔE.N. > 0.5 < 1.7 –––– bond will be polar covalent or partially ionic.
If ΔE.N. = 0 or < 0.5 –––– bond will be non-polar or pure covalent.

Ionic Character of Covalent Bond
Polar covalent bond has some amount of ionic character or polarity. Thus it is not a pure covalent bond and has partial ionic character. A polar bond containing molecule acts as dipole.

Q10. What is KMT? Give its main postulates with respect to three states of matter.
Answer
Definition
Boltzmann, Maxwell, Kelvin put forward kinetic molecular theory.
Kinetic molecular theory is a hypothetical but practical model which explains the general structures, composition and properties of all the three states of matter.
According to K.M.T, all matter is composed of extremely tiny particles called molecules which are always in a state of continuous random motion possessing kinetic energy. The three states of matter depend upon the arrangements, motions and forces of attraction between these particles.

Postulate of kinetic molecular theory for Gaseous state
1. The molecular are widely separated from each other.
2. The molecules have negligible volume.

What is diffusion and Graham’s law of diffusion of gases? Which gas from among CO₂, CH and NH₃ will diffuse the fastest and why? Give the reason.
Answer
Diffusion
The spontaneous mixing of molecules by random motion and collision to form a homogenous mixture is called diffusion. Diffusion is movement of particles from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration. Diffusion results in the gradual mixing of materials, and eventually it forms a homogeneous mixture.

Reason of Rapid diffusion in gases
Gases are rapidly diffusible due to free movement of molecules.

Graham’s law of diffusion of gases
The quantitative relationship between the rate of diffusion of different gases and their molar masses or densities is called Graham’s Law of Diffusion established by a Scottish chemist, Thomas Graham in 1846. This law states that:

“The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molar mass (under the same conditions of temperature and pressure).”

Reason of diffusion
According to Graham’s law, lighter gases diffuse faster than heavier gases. e.g. among CO, CH and H, H gas has least molar mass so it diffuses fastest while CO has highest molar mass so it diffuses slowest. CH has moderate molar mass so it diffuses slowly than H but quickly than CO. The increasing order of rate of diffusion is
CO < CH < H

Q11. Differentiate between amorphous and Crystalline Solids?
OR
Explain the solute-solvent interaction to prepare sodium chloride solution.
Answer
Comparison between crystalline and amorphous solids

OR
Explain the solute-solvent interaction to prepare sodium chloride solution.
Answer
In order to dissolve the solute into solvent, the following conditions must be fulfilled.
(i) Solute-Solute bonding should be broken.
(ii) Solvent-Solvent bonding should be broken to provide space for solute particles.
(iii) Solute-Solvent attraction should be maximized.
When solute-solute or solvent-solvent interactions are much more than solute-solvent interaction, a solution will not form.


The process of solution formation depends upon the relative strength of attractive forces between solute-solute, solvent-solvent and solute-solvent. A solute will dissolve in a solvent if the solute-solvent forces of attraction are greater enough to overcome the solute-solute and solvent-solvent forces of attraction. A solute will not dissolve if the solute-solvent forces of attraction are weaker than individual solute and solvent intermolecular attractions.

As we know that sodium chloride is an ionic compound. When sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, it dissolves quickly. The negative end of water molecules is attracted to sodium ions and the positive end of water molecules is attracted to chlorine ions. In this case, solute-solvent attractions are more in comparison with solute-solute interaction, therefore solution of sodium chloride is formed. These attractive forces of water are stronger enough to overcome the attraction between Na and Cl ions in NaCl. The following figure shows the attraction of Na and Cl ions with water molecules.

Q14. What is corrosion of metal and rusting? Name the methods which are used to protect metal from corrosion. How cathodic protection prevent metal from corrosion?
Answer
Definition of Corrosion
Metals react with oxygen in presence of moisture and can form harmful metal oxide. These metal oxide layers are porous and expose metal for further reaction with oxygen to form harmful metal oxide. It is called Corrosion of metal.

Rusting of Iron
Corrosion of iron is called rusting which an electrochemical process. Iron undergoes redox reaction in presence of air or water to form iron (III) oxide (Fe₂O₃.nH₂O) called rusting of iron. Rusted surface of iron provide no protection to underlying iron and eventually convert whole iron into reddish brown rust. Rusting occurs at different places of metal surface. A metal surface area of less moisture acts as anode and oxidizes iron in this region. Metal surface with high moisture contents acts as a cathode and reduces atmospheric oxygen to OH⁻ ions The Fe²⁺ ions further reacts with oxygen to form rust, iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃.nH₂O)

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2ē ………… (Oxidation
O₂ + 2H₂O + 4ē → 4OH⁻ (aq) ………… (Reduction)

Prevention from corrosion
All metals can be prevented from corrosion by following methods.

1. Alloying
Formation of alloy prevents metal from corrosion by reducing its ability of oxidation.

Example: Iron (Fe) can be changed into stainless steel by mixing with chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni). Thus iron (Fe) is prevented from corrosion.

2. Metallic Coating (Electroplating)
All metals can be protected from corrosion by coating its surface with other metal like tin (Sn) or zinc (Zn). The coating of metal at the surface of other metal by electrolytic process is called electroplating. Metals like iron can be electroplated with chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni) and silver (Ag).

3. Cathodic Protection
It is applied to protect underground pipes tanks, oil rigs etc. from corrosion by making these materials as cathode. The active metal like magnesium (Mg) or aluminum (Al) is used as Anode and connected with iron (Fe). These active metals itself oxidizes and prevent other metal from corrosion.


4. Coating with paint
A metal is commonly coated with paint to protect it from corrosion. Paint prevents the reaction of metal with oxygen, moisture and other harmful chemical agents.

OR

Brass (Cu-Zn,[4:1]), Bronze (Cu-Sn-Zn) [9:1], Bell metal (Cu-Sn), Monel (Ni-Cu-Fe), Amalgam (Hg-Ag-Cu-Zn), Pewter (Sn-Cu-Pb-Sb-Bi), White gold (Au-Pb-Ag-Cu (18 karat), Duralumin (Al-Cu-Mg-Ni)
Answer
Q14. What are metalloids? Write names and symbols of any 5 metalloids.
Answer
Definition
Metalloids are the elements which exhibit dual character and have characteristics of both metals as well as non-metals. i.e. have a blend of metal and non-metal properties. Their oxides are amphoteric showing acidic as well as basic nature.

Many metalloids show intermediate properties between the metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids are semi-conductors like silicon, germanium and boron.

Position of metalloids in the periodic table
Metalloids are found along stair-step (staircase) line or diagonal boundary between metals and non-metals from B to Al to the border between Po and At (the only exception to this is Al which is classified under “weak or other metal’).

Examples of Metalloids
There are total 8 metalloids:
1. Boron of group IIIA
2. Silicon and germanium of group IVA
3. Arsenic and antimony of group VA
4. Tellurium and polonium of group VIA
5. Astatine of group VIIA

OR
Write names and symbols of some noble metals. Explain inertness of noble metals.
Answer
Noble metals include Gold (Au-79), Silver (Ag-47), Platinum (Pt-78), Iridium (Ir-77), Osmium (Os-76), Rhodium (Rh-45), Ruthenium (Ru-44), Palladium (Pd-46).

Reason of Inertness of Noble Metals
The inertness of noble metals is due to their less electropositivity. Hence they are difficult to oxidize. Therefore they show no reaction with atmospheric gases and resist corrosion. This helps noble metals to maintain their appearance so noble metals like Ag, Au, Pt are used to make ornaments.

OR
Define Moh Scale. What are Soft and Hard Metals? Differentiate between sodium and iron as soft and hard metal.
Answer
Soft and Hard Metals and Moh Scale
The hardness of metal is the resistance of metal to be scratched. Hardness of metals and other material is measured by Moh scale which is based on scratch resistance of different metals and other materials. It is devised by Frederich Mohs in 1812. Metals may be soft or hard. Hardness of plastic, Lead pencil is 1, and that of Diamond is 10 on Moh scale.

Metal …………………………… Li     Na     K     Rb   Cs   Ni   Fe    W
Hardness on Moh Scale ……….. 0.8    0.5    0.4  0.3  0.2   4   4.5  7.5

The metals which are scratched easily are called soft metals. Alkali metals like; Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) and Rubidium (Rb) are soft metals.

Metals which show strong resistance towards scratching are called hard metals. Nickel (Ni), Iron (Fe), Tungsten (W) are hard metals.

Difference between Na and Fe as soft and hard metal


Q15. What is the boiling point? How boiling point is affected by different factors? How boiling point of a substance is affected by atmospheric pressure?
Answer
Boiling Point
The temperature at which vapour pressure of a liquid become equal to atmospheric pressure is called boiling point of the liquid.

Factors affecting Boiling Point
(i) Atmospheric Pressure

The boiling point is directly proportional to atmospheric pressure. Boiling point can be increased by increasing atmospheric pressure. For example working of pressure is based on this fact.

(ii) Nature of Liquids
The boiling point depends upon the nature of liquid. Polar liquids with stronger intermolecular forces have high boiling point than non-polar liquids with weak intermolecular forces.

(iii) Intermolecular forces
Boiling point is directly proportional to strength of intermolecular forces. Liquids having stronger intermolecular forces have high boiling points because such liquids attain a level of vapour pressure equal to external pressure at high temperature.

19. Give reason:
(i) Why gasoline does not dissolve in water?
(ii) Alkali metals are not found in free state in nature, why?
(iii) Why ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten or in aqueous solutions only?
(iv) Why the solubility of a salt increases with the increase in temperature?
(v) Explain why table salt has a very high melting point.
(vi) Covalent bonds are strong and hard to break but why most of the covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points.
Answer
(i) Why gasoline does not dissolve in water?
Answer
The general, principle of solubility is “Like dissolves like”. polar or ionic solutes easily dissolve in polar solvents whereas non-polar solutes easily dissolve in non-polar solvents and hence it is said that like dissolves like. Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons heptane and octane being non-polar does not dissolve in polar solvent water.

(ii) Alkali metals are not found in free state in nature, why?
Answer
Due to their low ionization enthalpy values, all alkali metals readily lose their single valence electron and are highly reactive. Therefore, alkali metals are never found in nature in free (uncombined or native or elemental ) state. In combined state, they are present in the form of halides, oxides, silicates, borates and nitrates.

(iii) Why ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten or in aqueous solutions only?
Answer
Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds also conduct electricity. This is because when an ionic compound dissolves in water, the ions are free to move in aqueous solution.
They do not conduct electricity in the solid state as the ions are not free to move. But they are good conductor of electricity in molten state or in solution form due to free movement of the ions.

(iv) Why the solubility of a salt increases with the increase in temperature?
Answer
Solubility is directly proportional to the temperature in solid & liquid. The solubility of solids in liquids usually increases with the rise in temperature because hot water molecules have greater kinetic energy and collide with solid solute more vigorously.
For example;
a greater amount of sugar will dissolve in warm water than in cold water. (solubility of sugar in water at 0°C is 179 g/100 ml of water whereas 100°C it is 487 g/100 ml of water).

(v) Explain why table salt has a very high melting point.
Answer
Sodium chloride is an example of ionic or electrovalent compound having strong ionic bonding in the form of strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged sodium and chloride ions. Hence it requires more heat energy to overcome the strong electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions resulting in its high melting point.

(v) Covalent bonds are strong and hard to break but why most of the covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points.
Answer
Covalent compounds have generally low melting points because they are made up of electrically neutral molecules having weak force of attraction in the form intermolecular forces. Hence, only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak intermolecular forces.

🙏 ہم نے نہیں کیا وہ کام، ہاں باخُدا نہیں کیا

💡 اُس نے تو کارِ جہل بھی بے علما نہیں کیا

💥 غزل ۔۔۔۔ جونؔ ایلیا 💥

📖 حال خوش تذکرہ نگاروں کا
🌙 تھا تو اک شہر خاکساروں کا
💔 پہلے رہتے تھے کوچۂ دل میں
😔 اب پتہ کیا ہے دل فگاروں کا
🚪 کوئے جاناں کی ناکہ بندی ہے
🛏️ بسترا اب کہاں ہے یاروں کا
🌬️ چلتا جاتا ہے سانس کا لشکر
🕊️ کون پُرساں ہے یادگاروں کا
💭 اپنے اندر گھسٹ رہا ہوں میں
🌌 مجھ سے کیا ذکر رہ گزاروں کا
🎉 ان سے جو شہر میں ہیں بے دعویٰ
🌟 عیش مت پوچھ دعویداروں کا
⚔️ کیسا یہ معرکہ ہے برپا جو
🐎 نہ پیادوں کا نہ سواروں کا
🖋️ بات تشبیہہ کی نہ کیجیو تُو
📚 دہر ہے صرف استعاروں کا
💔 میں تو خیر اپنی جان ہی سے گیا
🤝 کیا ہوا جانے جانثاروں کا
🔥 کچھ نہیں اب سوائے خاکستر
🌪️ ایک جلسہ تھا شعلہ خواروں کا

👥 اپنے سب یار کام کررہے ہیں
🌙 اور ہم ہیں کہ نام کر رہے ہیں
🏛️ آنے والی اپر کلاس کی ہے
✨ ہم جو یہ اہمتمام کررہے ہیں
⚔️ تیغ بازی کا شوق اپنی جگہ
🔥 آپ تو قتلِ عام کررہے ہیں
🎶 داد و تحسین کا یہ شور ہے کیوں
💭 ہم تو خود سے کلام کررہے ہیں
😔 ہے وہ بے چارگی کا حال کہ ہم
🤝 ہر کسی کو سلام کررہے ہیں
🕊️ ہم تو بس یاد کے ہیں لوگ میاں
💔 اپنا ہونا حرام کررہے ہیں
👑 اک قتالہ چاہئے ہم کو
📢 ہم یہ اعلانِ عام کررہے ہیں
🍷 کیا بھلا ساغرِ سفال کہ ہم
🥂 ناف پیالے کو جام کررہے ہیں
📝 ہم تو آئے تھے عرضِ مطلب کو
🙏 اور وہ احترام کررہے ہیں
💨 نہ اٹھے آہ کا دھواں بھی کہ وہ
🌌 کوئے دل میں خرام کررہے ہیں
💋 اس کے ہونٹوں پہ رکھ کے ہونٹ اپنے
🕊️ بات ہی ہم تمام کررہے ہیں
🎉 ہم عجب ہیں کہ اس کے کوچے میں
🥁 بے سبب دھوم دھام کررہے ہیں
⚔️ کرکے بے پوشش اس صنم کو ہم
🗡️ تیغ کو بے نیام کررہے ہیں
🎭 کوئی بھی فن ہمیں نہیں آتا
⏳ دم کو بس دوام کررہے ہیں
🌟 ہم جو ہر لمحہ جی رہے ہیں جونؔ
🏛️ ہم ابد میں قیام کررہے ہیں

🤝 نیا اک رشتہ پیدا کیوں کریں ہم
💔 بچھڑنا ہے تو جھگڑا کیوں کریں ہم
🌙 خموشی سے ادا ہو رسمِ دوری
🔥 کوئی ہنگامہ برپا کیوں کریں ہم
📖 سنا دیں عصمتِ مریم کا قصّہ؟
❌ پر اب اس باب کو وا کیوں کریں ہم
💭 زلیخاے عزیزاں بات یہ ہے
⚖️ بھلا گھاٹے کا سودا کیوں کریں ہم
💕 ہماری ہی تمنّا کیوں کرو تم
🌟 تمہاری ہی تمنّا کیوں کریں ہم
🕰️ کیا تھا عہد جب لمحوں میں ہم نے
📜 تو ساری عمر ایفا کیوں کریں ہم
🗑️ اٹھا کر کیوں نہ پھینکیں ساری چیزیں
🚶 فقط کمروں میں ٹہلا کیوں کریں ہم
👥 جو اک نسل فرومایہ کو پہنچے
💡 وہ سرمایہ اکٹھا کیوں کریں ہم
🌍 نہیں دنیا کو جب پروا ہماری
😔 تو پھر دنیا کی پروا کیوں کریں ہم
🏙️ برہنہ ہیں سرِ بازار تو کیا
👀 بھلا اندھوں سے پردہ کیوں کریں ہم
🏠 ہیں باشندے اسی بستی کے ہم بھی
🤝 سو خود پر بھی بھروسا کیوں کریں ہم
💀 چبالیں کیوں نہ خود ہی اپنا ڈھانچا
🍽️ تمہیں راتب مہیا کیوں کریں ہم
⚰️ پڑی رہنے دو انسانوں کی لاشیں
🌪️ زمیں کا بوجھ ہلکا کیوں کریں ہم
🕌 یہ بستی ہے مسلمانوں کی بستی
🕊️ یہاں کارِ مسیحا کیوں کریں ہم

🌸🔥 جون ایلیا دل کو چھو لینے والی غزل🔥🌸
💫 حال یہ ہے کہ خواہش پرسش حال بھی نہیں
💫 اس کا خیال بھی نہیں اپنا خیال بھی نہیں
🌿 اے شجر حیات شوق ایسی خزاں رسیدگی
🌿 پوشش برگ و گل تو کیا جسم پہ چھال بھی نہیں
📖 مجھ میں وہ شخص ہو چکا جس کا کوئی حساب تھا
📖 سود ہے کیا زیاں ہے کیا اس کا سوال بھی نہیں
🎶 مست ہیں اپنے حال میں دل زدگان و دلبراں
🎶 صلح و سلام تو کجا بحث و جدال بھی نہیں
🌟 تو مرا حوصلہ تو دیکھ داد تو دے کہ اب مجھے
🌟 شوق کمال بھی نہیں خوف زوال بھی نہیں
🌌 خیمہ گاہ نگاہ کو لوٹ لیا گیا ہے کیا
🌌 آج افق کے دوش پر گرد کی شال بھی نہیں
🍃 اف یہ فضائے احتیاط تا کہیں اڑ نہ جائیں ہم
🍃 باد جنوب بھی نہیں باد شمال بھی نہیں
💔 وجہ معاش بے دلاں یاس ہے اب مگر کہاں
💔 اس کے ورود کا گماں فرض محال بھی نہیں
⏳ غارت روز و شب تو دیکھ وقت کا یہ غضب تو دیکھ
⏳ کل تو نڈھال بھی تھا میں آج نڈھال بھی نہیں
🌙 میرے زمان و ذات کا ہے یہ معاملہ کہ اب
🌙 صبح فراق بھی نہیں شام وصال بھی نہیں
🌹 پہلے ہمارے ذہن میں حسن کی اک مثال تھی
🌹 اب تو ہمارے ذہن میں کوئی مثال بھی نہیں
🔥 میں بھی بہت عجیب ہوں اتنا عجیب ہوں کہ بس
🔥 خود کو تباہ کر لیا اور ملال بھی نہیں

💥 جونؔ ایلیا 🎯 💥

😊 گاہے گاہے بس اب یہی ہو کیا
❤️ تم سے مل کر بہت خوشی ہو کیا
🤝 مل رہی ہو بڑے تپاک کے ساتھ
🕊️ مجھ کو یکسر بھلا چکی ہو کیا
🌙 یاد ہیں اب بھی اپنے خواب تمہیں
😔 مجھ سے مل کر اداس بھی ہو کیا
💭 بس مجھے یوں ہی اک خیال آیا
🤔 سوچتی ہو تو سوچتی ہو کیا
💔 اب مری کوئی زندگی ہی نہیں
🌹 اب بھی تم میری زندگی ہو کیا
🔥 کیا کہا عشق جاودانی ہے!
🕰️ آخری بار مل رہی ہو کیا
🌫️ ہاں فضا یاں کی سوئی سوئی سی ہے
☀️ تو بہت تیز روشنی ہو کیا
🎭 میرے سب طنز بے اثر ہی رہے
🚶‍♀️ تم بہت دور جا چکی ہو کیا
🕯️ دل میں اب سوز انتظار نہیں
⚡ شمع امید بجھ گئی ہو کیا
🌊 اس سمندر پہ تشنہ کام ہوں میں
💧 بان تم اب بھی بہہ رہی ہو کیا

🌹 کلاسیکی غزل ✨

💋 آج لب گہر فشاں آپ نے وا نہیں کیا
🌸 تذکرۂ خجستۂ آب و ہوا نہیں کیا
🤔 کیسے کہیں کہ تجھ کو بھی ہم سے ہے واسطہ کوئی
💔 تو نے تو ہم سے آج تک کوئی گلہ نہیں کیا
😔 جانے تری نہیں کے ساتھ کتنے ہی جبر تھے کہ تھے
🙏 میں نے ترے لحاظ میں تیرا کہا نہیں کیا
😳 مجھ کو یہ ہوش ہی نہ تھا تو مرے بازوؤں میں ہے
💭 یعنی تجھے ابھی تلک میں نے رہا نہیں کیا
⚖️ تو بھی کسی کے باب میں عہد شکن ہو غالباً
🤝 میں نے بھی ایک شخص کا قرض ادا نہیں کیا
👀 ہاں وہ نگاہ ناز بھی اب نہیں ماجرا طلب
🌾 ہم نے بھی اب کی فصل میں شور بپا نہیں کیا
💔 دل نے وفا کے نام پر کارِ وفا نہیں کیا
🔥 خود کو ہلاک کر لیا، خود کو فدا نہیں کیا
🕊️ جو بھی ہو تم پہ معترض، اُس کو یہی جواب دو
😊 آپ بہت شریف ہیں، آپ نے کیا نہیں کیا
📿 جس کو بھی شیخ و شاہ نے حکمِ خُدا دیا قرار
🙌 ہم نے نہیں کیا وہ کام، ہاں باخُدا نہیں کیا
📚 نسبتِ علم ہے بہت حاکمِ وقت کو عزیز
🚫 اُس نے تو کارِ جہل بھی بے علما نہیں کیا

🎭 غزل از جون ایلیا

🌹💔 تجھ بدن پر ہم نے جانیں واریاں
😢🔥 تجھ کو تڑپانے کی ہیں تیاریاں
🕰️💭 کر رہے ہیں یاد اسے ہم روز و شب
🧠🌀 ہیں بھُلانے کی اسے تیاریاں
😊✨ تھا کبھی میں اک ہنسی اُن کے لیے
😭💔 رو رہی ہیں اب مجھے مت ماریاں
🎭⚖️ جھوٹ سچ کے کھیل میں ہلکان ہیں
👧💫 خوب ہیں یہ لڑکیاں بےچاریاں
🤐📜 شعر تو کیا بات کہہ سکتے نہیں
🏛️👔 جو بھی نوکر جونؔ ہیں سرکاریاں
🕴️⌛ جو میاں جاتے ہیں دفتر وقت پر
🧳🚶 اُن سے ہیں اپنی جُدا دشواریاں
📜⚖️ ہم بھلا آئین اور قانون کی
⛓️😔 کب تلک سہتے رہیں غداریاں
🩸🔔 سُن رکھو اے شہر دارو ! خون کی
🌊💥 ہونے ہی والی ہیں ندیاں جاریاں
🤝💬 ہیں سبھی سے جن کی گہری یاریاں
😞⚠️ سُن میاں ہوتی ہیں ان کی خواریاں
🎉🍇 ہے خوشی عیاروں کا اک ثمر
😢🌧️ غم کی بھی اپنی ہیں کچھ عیاریاں
🌌✨ ذرّے ذرّے پر نہ جانے کس لیے
🌠💫 ہر نفس ہیں کہکشائیں طاریاں
🧵❤️ اس نے دل دھاگے ہیں ڈالے پاؤں میں
⛓️⚖️ یہ تو زنجیریں ہیں بےحد بھاریاں
🧬📚 تم کو ہے آداب کا برص و جزام
🧪😷 ہیں ہماری اور ہی بیماریاں
🌈💭 خواب ہائے جاودانی پر مرے
💡⚡ چل رہی ہیں روشنی کی آریاں
🧟‍♂️👥 ہیں یہ سندھی اور مہاجر ہڈ حرام
🥬💸 کیوں نہیں یہ بیچتے ترکاریاں
🤔🧠 یار! سوچو تو عجب سی بات ہے
💔😓 اُس کے پہلو میں مری قلقاریاں
🛑📖 ختم ہے بس جونؔ پر اُردو غزل
🌹🩸 اس نے کی ہیں خون کی گل کاریاں
