9. Atoms having 1,2 or 3 electrons in its valence shell will readily form ________

  1. cation
  2. anion

Ans: cation

II. Answer in Brief

1. How do atoms attain Noble gas electronic configuration?

Atoms can combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another or by sharing of valence electrons in order to achieve the stable outer shell of eight electrons

2. CCl4 is insoluble in water but NaCl is soluble in water. Give reason.

  • CCl4 is a Covalent compound but NaCl is an Ionic Compound.
  • Water is a polar solvent so NaCl is soluble in water.
  • CCl4 is soluble in nonpolar solvent.

3. Explain Octet rule with an example.

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atom of maingroup elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valance shell, giving it the same electron configuration as a noble gas.

III. Answer in detail

1. List the differences between Ionic and Covalent compounds.

Ionic CompoundsCovalent Compounds
Formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal atomFormed by sharing of electrons between non metal atoms
Strong electrostatic force of attraction between cations and anionsMutual sharing of electrons and so weak force of attraction between atoms
Solids at room temperatureGases, liquids and soft solids
Conducts electricity in molten state or in solutionsNon-conductors of electricity
Have high melting and boiling pointsHave low melting and boiling points
Soluble in polar solventsSoluble in non-polar solvents
Hard and brittleSoft and waxy
Undergo ionic reaction which are fast and instantaneousUndergo molecular reactions which are slow

4. Discuss in brief the properties of Coordinate covalent compounds.

Characteristics of coordinate covalent compounds

The compounds containing coordinate covalent bonds are called coordinate compounds.

a. Physical state

These compounds exist as gases, liquids, or solids.

b. Electrical conductivity

Like covalent compounds, coordinate compounds also do not contain charged particles (ions), so they are bad conductors of electricity.
