(1ai)

An element is a substance that cannot be split into simpler substances by any known chemical process.

 

(1aii)

Limestone ==> CaCo3

TABULATE

|Elements| Group|

 

UNDER ELEMENT:

(i) Calcium

(ii) Carbon

(iii) Oxygen

 

UNDER GROUP:

(i) II

(ii) IV

(iii) VI

 

(1bi)

Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity states that every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin

 

(1bii)

Carbon = 1s2 2s2 2p2

 

(1ci)

The outermost electrons are found in 4s and 3orbitals

 

(1cii)

Transition elements

 

(1ciii)

(i) It has variable oxidation states

(ii) It forms complex ions

(iii) It forms coloured compounds

(iv) It serves as catalyst

 

(1d)

The atoms in iron has valency of 2 in the 4s the atoms in the iron bar contribute their valent electrons to form pool or sea of electron. The repulsive forces of the electrons is balance by the electron cloud. The nuclear force emanating from the nucleus helps to keep the electron cloud in the lattice.

Fe(s) ==> Fe2 + 2e-

 

 

 

(2ai)

Electro negativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself when in a molecule

 

(2aii)

(i) P >AL>Na

(ii) P<AL<Na

 

(2bi)

Radioactivity is the spontaneous of emission of radiation and energy from an unstable isotope.

 

(2bii)

(i) 238U ==> 284Th + 4He + Energy

(ii) 214Pb ==> 214B2 +s

(iii) 14N + 4He ==> 19O + P + energy

 

(2c)

Fraction left after 30 days = (1/2)n

N = 30days/10days = 3

Fraction left after 30days = (1/2)3

= 1/8

Mass left after 30days = 1/8 x 20

= 2.5g

Mass that decayed off = (20 – 2.5)g

= 17.5g

 

 

 

 

(3ai)

Hygroscopy is the ability of a substance to absorb moisture from the atmosphere without dissolving in it to form a solution

 

(3aii)

(i) Conc H2SO4

(ii) Ethanol

(iii) Calcium oxide

 

 

(3bi)

M = I x t x m m/n x f

Ca + 2e- ==> Ca(s)

M = 10 x 3 x 60 x 40/2 x 96500

M = 72,000/193,400

M = 0.37g

 

(3bii)

UNDER ELECTROLYTIC CELL:

(i) It contains electrical energy chemical energy

(ii) The anode is positive while the cathode is negative

 

UNDER ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL:

(i) It convert chemical energy to electrical energy

(ii) The anode is negative electrode while the cathode is positive electrode

 

(3ci)

(i) Rhombic Sulphur

(ii) Monoclinic Sulphur

 

(3cii)

(1) It is used in industrial preparation of tetraoxosulphate (vi)

 

(2) It is used as fungicide

 

(3ciii)

H2S + Cl2 ==> 2HCL(g) + S(s)

 

(3civ)

(i) It is a reducing agent

 

(3v)

(i) Presence of air

(ii) Presence of moisture

(iii) Rusting can be prevented by coating the surface of the iron

 

 

 

 

(4ai)

DRAW THE DIAGRAM

Hydrochloric acid is added to the zinc granules in the flask and the gas produce is collected by downward displacement of air of water.

Zn(s) + 2HCL(aq) ==> Zncl2(aq) + H2(g)

 

(4aii)

TWO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

(i) It is colorless, odourless gas

(ii) It is neutral to litmus paper

 

TWO CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

(i) It reacts with metal to form hydride

2Na + H2 ==> 2NaH

(ii) It burns in air to produce steam

2H2 + O2 ==> 2H2O

 

(4aiii)

(i) 3H ==> Trictium

 

(4b)

Permanent hardness of water is a water that contain dissolve MgSO4 or CaSO4 which makes it not to lather readily with soap

 

(4bii)

(ii) CaSO4 ==> Calcium tetraoxosulphate (vi)

 

(4biii)

ADVATAGES:

(i) It makes to have taste

(ii) It helps to build strong bones and teeth

 

DISADVATAGES:
