Ans: There are so many fine particles and molecules in the atmosphere which are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. These are more effective in scattering light of shorter wavelengths at the blue end of the visible spectrum than at the longer wavelength at the red end.

3.5 Write with an example how according to Lewis’s concept a covalent bond is formed.
Ans: The force of attraction which binds atoms of same or different elements by mutual sharing of electron pair(s) is called a covalent bond. In covalent bond the shared electron pair(s) is common to both the atoms.
According to Lewis concept,
Formation of H2 molecule: Atomic number of H is 1. It has only one electron located in K shell. To achieve a stable electronic configuration, which has two electrons in its outermost shell, H-atom needs one more electron. This is achieved by sharing its electron with another H-atom. Thus, two hydrogen atoms share total of two electrons between them, thus forming a hydrogen molecule.


Or,Why the bond in sodium chloride can’t be expressed as Na-Cl?
Ans: For the maximum stability of ionic compounds, cations and anions form crystals by arranging themselves in regular & definite geometrical
pattern so that the coulombic forces of repulsion among the ions of similar charge is minimum. During formation of NaCl crystal, each Na+ ion is surrounded by six neighbouring Clions and each such Cl- ion is similarly surrounded by six neighbouring Nat ions, i.e. each ion lies at the centre of an octahedron and the oppositely charged ions reside at the corners of that octahedron. This type ofcrystal arrangement is known as 6-6 coordination. There is no existence of a separate molecule and the entire crystal exists as a giant molecule.

Ans: Cathode reaction: M2+ + 2e-  →      M
In Cathode, the cation M2+ takes up the electron to form M. Hence, it is reduction reaction.

3.9 What is the condition of substitution reaction of methane with chloride? Write the balanced chemical equation of the first step of the reaction.
Ans: Ethylene molecule has the formula C2H4. Each carbon atom shares two electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form two C-H bonds. Two pairs of electrons are shared between two carbon atoms. So, altogether there are 4 C-H single bonds and one carbon-carbon double bond.

It is evident from the structure that since there existsonedouble bond between the two adjacent carbon atoms in the molecule, hence ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Or,Write with balanced chemical equation what happens when ethanol reacts with metallic sodium.

4. Answer the following question.

4.1 Establish ideal gas equation on the basis of Boyle’s law, Charles’ law and Avogadro’s law.
Ans: State of any gas can be completely be described by four variables such as pressure (P), Volume (V), Absolute temperature (T) and number of moles (n) of the gas.
According to Boyle’s law, V ∝ 1/P (T and n are constant)
According to Charle’s law, V ∝ T (P and n are constant)
According to Avogadro’s law, V ∝ n (P and T are constant)
By method of compound variation, V ∝nT/p, When P, T and n of the gas vary
Therefore, V ∝RnT/P (R = molar gas constant).
Or, PV = nRT
This equation is called Ideal Gas Equation.

4.5 If the velocity of light in a medium is 2×10^8 m/s, what will be the refractive index of that medium?
Ans: The R.I of a medium is given by,
μ  = Velocity of light in vacumm/Velocity of light in the medium
or, μ = 3  108/2  108
or, μ = 3/2 = 1.5
Or, The refractive index of a medium with respect to air is √2. If the angle of incidence of a ray of light in air is 45° determine the angle of deviation for that ray in case of refraction.
Ans: If ∟i and  ∟r be the angle of incidence (in air) & angle of refraction (in the medium) respectively, then according to snell’s law,
Sin i/SinR =μ
Given ∟i = 450 and μ = √2.
By Putting values,
Sin 450 / √2 = ½ =sin 300
∟r = 300.
Since refraction is taking place from rarer to denser medium,
angle of deviation, δ = i – r  = 450 – 300 = 150.

4.6 Write Joule’s law related to heating effect of current.
Ans: Joule’s law of heating : If H amount of heat is produced in a conductor of resistance R, when a steady current / is passed through it for time t, then H is

(ii) directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (H ∝ R), when / & t are kept constant
(iii) directly proportional to the time for which the current flows through the resistor (H ∝ t), when / and R are kept constant.
Therefore,
H = kl2 Rt

Similar properties of hydrogen with group 17 elements:
(i) Electronic configuration: The outer most orbit of both hydrogen and the elements of group 17 have one electron less than the electronic configuration of nearest inert gas. So their valency is 1.

The reaction is carried out at about 5500C and 200 atmospheric pressure in presence of iron catalyst promoted by molybdenum and oxides of potassium and aluminium. The reaction is exothermic, so it should be favoured at lower temperature. But at low temperature, the reaction occurs at a very slow rate, so the reaction is carried out at this optimum temperature. The above reaction is favoured at high pressure and an optimum pressure of 200 atm is employed for production of ammonia by this process.
