i)                Chemical formula is a representation that uses symbols to show the proportions of the elements in a chemical compound.

ii)               A radical is a group of atoms with unpaired electrons. OR A radical is a group of atoms which act as a single element in bonding.

iii)             Electrovalent bond is a chemical bond formed between metal and non-metal by transfer of electrons.

iv)             Covalent bond is a chemical bond formed between non-metals by sharing of electrons.

 

03. Differences between electrovalent and covalent bond

 

Electrovalent (ionic) bond

Covalent bond

It is formed between metals and non-metals by transfer of electron(s)

It is formed between non-metals by sharing of electrons.

It is held by electrostatic force of attraction

It is held by the weak Van der Waal force

Ionic compounds are good conductor of electricity

Covalent compounds are poor conductor of electricity

They have high boiling and melting points

They have low melting and boiling points

Ionic compounds are soluble in water

Covalent compounds are soluble in polar solvents

 

04. (a) Oxidation number is the measure of the electron control that an atom has in a compound compared to the atom in the pure element.

(b)

                  i.     Cr2O72-

 

2Cr + (-2 x 7) = -2

2Cr – 14 = -2

2Cr = -2 + 14

2Cr = +12 (dividing by 2 both sides)

Cr = +6

The oxidation number of Cr is +6

 

                ii.     SO32-

S + (-2 x 3) = -2

S -6 = -2

S = -2 + 6

S = +4

The oxidation number of S is +4

 

              iii.     KClO3

+1 + Cl + (-2 x 3) = 0

Cl -5 = 0

Cl = +5

The oxidation number of Cl is +5

 

                iv.     NO2-

N + (-2 x 2) = -1

N – 4 = -1

N = -1 +4

N = +3

The oxidation number of N is +3

 

                  v.     NaCl

+1 + Cl = 0

Cl = -1

The oxidation number of Cl is -1

 

05.  

i)                FeCl3 – Iron (III) chloride

ii)               FeCl2 – Iron (II) chloride

iii)             Cu2S – Copper (I) sulphide

iv)             N2O4 – Dinitrogen tetraoxide

v)               SF6 – Sulphur hexafluoride

07. (a)

i)                Empirical formula is the formula which represent a smallest ratio of the atoms or ions in a compound.

ii)               Molecular formula is the formula which shows the actual number of each different atom in a molecule.

 

 

 

(b)

Element’s symbol

C

S

Percentage composition

 

Percentage composition divided to relative atomic mass

Divide each value to smallest ratio

15.8

 

15.8/12

 

1.32

1.32/1.32

 

1

84.2

 

84.2/32

 

2.63

2.63/1.32

 

1.992 ≈ 2

 

The empirical formula is CS2

 

From,

(Empirical formula)n = Molecular formula

(CS2)n = 152

76 n = 152

n= 2

 

(CS2) x 2 รจ C2S4

The molecular formula is C2S4
