Case Study Based Questions

1) Metals react with non-metals by losing or gaining electrons. They have a give-andtake relation between them. Ionic compounds are usually solid and hard in nature. They are generally soluble in water and insoluble in solvent like petrol, kerosene, et(c) The melting and boiling points of electrovalent compounds are high. In order to change the physical state of the electrovalent compounds (from solid to liquid to gas) , a high temperature is needed to overcome the attractive forces.

Answer : C

2) Alloying is a very good method of improving the properties of a metal. This gives the desired properties of the metal. For example, iron is the most widely used metal. But it is never used in its pure state. This is because pure iron is very soft and stretches easily when hot. But, if it is mixed with a small amount of carbon (about 0.05%) , it becomes hard and strong. When iron is mixed with nickel and chromium, we get stainless steel, which is hard and does not rust. Thus, if iron is mixed with some other substance, its properties change. In fact, the properties of any metal can be changed, if it is mixed with some other substance. The substance added may be a metal or a non-metal
