    ANSWERS TO REVISION WORKSHEET 13

    01. C It is the mobile (or delocalized) electrons that carry current


    02 D Most metal oxides are basic, hence A is not correct. Metals like sodium, potassium react with water,
    therefore B is not true. Most metals e.g. are hard hence C is also not correct.
    03. A Cotton is also soft, fuels burn readily in air, wood floats on water but they are not metals, hence options
    B, C and D are not correct.
    04 A Wood has a low density, phosphorus is very reactive and diamond is shiny in appearance, hence options
    B, C and D are not correct..
    05 C Malleable means the substance can be beaten and made into sheet form (see page 172).
    06 D Since metals have 1, 2 or at most 3 electrons they attain a stable configuration by giving away one or
    more electrons. [ ]
    07 C A is a diatomic molecule, B is an ionic compound and D is polytehene
    08 C Graphite, sodium and silver conduct electricity.
    09 D Metals are good conductors of electricity
    10 B A non-metal forms an acidic oxide

    SECTION B
    B1
    Metals Non-metals
    (a) Physical appearance shiny Dull
    (b) Electrical properties Good conductors of Poor conductors of
    electricity electricity
    (c) Chemical properties Mainly basic oxides Mainly acidic oxides
    of their oxides
    (d) Type of bonds present Ionic Covalent
    in their chlorides

    B2 (a) Since zinc is above iron in the activity series, it will react with oxygen in preference to iron.

    (b) By painting, by applying a thin layer of plastic, or by plating it with a thin layer of chromium, tin or
    silver. [Any TWO of the above]
    (c) Used to make alloys such as brass and bronze

    B3 In an experiment to investigate rusting, it was found that only the iron nails in the first tube rusted.[8]

    (a) Air and water must be present


    (b) In test tube 2, there was no water (calcium chloride is used to remove water), in test-tubes 3 and 4 there is
    no air – the air was removed when the water was boiled in test tube 3.
    (c) To remove any water vapour present
    (d) Rust is an oxide of iron containing mostly iron (III) oxide (see page 179)
    (e) In galvanizing, the iron is dipped into molten zinc.
    (f) If the surface layer is broken, the zinc (being above iron in the activity series) will react in preference to
    iron and prevent rusting. Tin, however, is below iron in the activity series and will make the iron rust
    faster.
