What are (i) metals (ii) non-metals, and (iii) metalloids ? Give two examples each of metals, non-metals and metalloids.

उत्तर
- Metals: Metals are elements that are malleable, ductile and conduct electricity.
Examples: Aluminum and zinc - Non-metals: Non-metals are elements that are neither malleable nor ductile, and they do not conduct electricity. Most non-metals are brittle in nature.
Examples: Phosphorus, hydrogen - Metalloids: Metalloids are elements that show properties of both metals and non metals.
Examples: Germanium, silicon

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.

(c) Name a metal which you think could behave like solid A. Also name the products B and C.
(d) Name the solid D if it is the one which is used in making ordinary dry cells.

The best way to recover sugar from an aqueous sugar solution is :
A solid mixture contains four constituents P, Q, R and S. P consists of tiny grains and it is mixed with
cement for plastering the walls. Q is a white solid which is recovered on a large scale from sea water by the
process of evaporation. R is in the form of tiny particles of a material whose corrosion is called rusting. And
S is a white solid which is used in making ordinary dry cells.
