What do u mean by addition reaction,substitution reaction

Reactions which involve the combination between two reactant molecules to give a single molecule of the
product are called addition reaction.

CH3CH==CH2 + HBr = CH3CH2CH2Br

A substitution reaction is that which involves the direct replacement of an atom or a group of atoms in the
molecule by another atom or groups of atoms without any change in the reamining part of the molecule.

CH4 + Cl2 = CH3Cl + HCl

What is catenition property

Catenation is the bonding of atoms of the same element into a series, called a chain. Catenation occurs most
readily with carbon, which forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms to form longer chains and
structures. This is the reason for the presence of the vast number of organic compounds in nature.carbon is
not the only one with catenation property. Silicon shows it to quite a good extent, sulphur and boron has also
been shown to catenate.

Carbon has highest degree of catenation because:

1. high C-C bond energy
2. tetravalency (large number of bonds)
3. small atomic size hence less diffused orbital.

What do u mean by allotrops.

The term allotrope refers to one or more forms of a chemical element that occur in the different physical
state. The different forms arise from the different ways atoms may be bonded together.

O2 and ozone, O3, are allotropes of oxygen. These allotropes persist in different phases, including the gas,
liquid, and solid states.

How do alcohol affect living beings.

When large quantities of ethanol are consumed, it tends to slow metabolic processes and to depress the
central nervous system. This results in lack of coordination, mental confusion, drowsiness, lowering of the
normal inhibitions, and finally stupour.

All Ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores. Explain it

A “mineral” is a naturally occurring inorganic material with fixed chemical composition & internal crystal
structure; but an “ore” is a mineral from which a metal or mineral can be extracted “profitably”. So the
former is a mineralogical term while the latter is a commercial term signifying its economical viability. For
example galena (PbS) is a mineral but it will be an “ore” of lead metal only lead can profitably be extracted
from the host rock. Hence all ores are minerals but not all minerals are ore.

Write down one advantage of alloy (steel )over iron?

Alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two and more metals or a metal and a non metal.

It is prepared by first melting the primary metal and then dissolving the other elements in definite
proportions. Composition of stainless steel - nickel and chromium (Alnico). Advantages of making Alloy –

1. Have tensile strength ,

2. High melting point ,
3. Good conductor of electricity .
4. Modify chemical property
5. Increase resistance of metals towards corrosion.

Write down on ore of iron

Hematite, magnetite, limonite

What happens when Na reacts with alcohol

Ethanol Reacts With Sodium Metal To Produce Sodium Ethoxide And Hydrogen Gas. Hydrogen burn with
the pop sounds.

CH3CH2OH + Na = CH3CH2ONa + H2

Two properties of ethanol acid

1. Ethanol can easily burn in air to produce carbon dioxide and water.

2. It is a colourless, volatile liquid with characteristic pleasant odour
