Chapter 2 Is matter around us pure

*(TERM I Portion)
Q1. a) Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Ans
Homogeneous mixtures Heterogeneous mixtures
The mixture of two or more substances that The mixture of two or more substances that
are equally distributed throughout. They are unequally distributed. They have non-

The constituent substances are not physically The constituent substances are physically
distinct. distinct.
e.g. salt or sugar in water, alcohol in water, e.g. sand and salt, sugar and salt, sand and
Sulphur in carbondisulphide water, oil and water.

b) Compare the properties of solution, suspension and colloids.

separated by centrifugation.
e.g. sugar dissolved in water e.g. Chalk powder or wheat e.g. Milk or ink in water
flour in water.

Q.2. Name the components of a solution and colloids? Define them.


Ans: The two components of solution are: 1) Solute 2) Solvent
Solvent: The component of a solution that is present in large quantity and dissolves the solute is
called solvent.
Solute: The component of a solution that is present in small quantity and is dissolved in solvent.
The two components of colloids are: 1) Dispersed phase 2) Dispersing medium
Dispersed phase: The solute- like component or dispersed particles in a colloid are called
dispersed phase.
Dispersing medium: The component in which the dispersed phase is suspended is known as
dispersing medium.
Q 3. Differentiate between
a) Elements and compounds
b) Metals and non-metals
c) Mixtures and compounds
d) Physical and chemical change

Ans a)
Elements Compounds
Elements are the basic form of matter that A compound is a substance composed of two or
cannot be broken down into simpler more elements chemically combined in a fixed
substances by chemical reactions. proportion.
Example: iron, Sulphur, hydrogen, oxygen Iron sulphide, water

b)
Metals Non- metal
1. They are lustrous, sonorous, malleable 1. They are non-lustrous, non-sonorous, not malleable and
and ductile not ductile.
2. They have silvery grey or golden yellow 2. They display a variety of colours.
colour
3. They conduct heat and electricity 3. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity
Example:- iron, copper Example:- hydrogen, iodine

c)
Mixtures Compounds
1. Mixtures are formed when elements or 1. Compounds are formed when elements react
compounds are just mixed together. with each other.

2. They have variable composition. 2. The composition of compounds are always


fixed.
3. A mixture shows the properties of the 3. A compound has totally different properties
constituent particles. than that of constituent elements it is made up of.
4. The constituents can be separated by physical 4. The constituents can be separated only by
methods. chemical or electrochemical methods.

Example:- mixture of iron and Sulphur. Example:- compound iron sulphide formed when
iron reacts with sulphur

d)
Physical change Chemical change
A change which takes place in the physical A change that takes place in the chemical properties of a
properties of a substance like colour, substance or undergo a change in chemical composition
hardness, rigidity, fluidity, density, melting is known as chemical change. It is also known as chemical
point, boiling point etc. is known as reaction.
physical change.
Example: melting of ice( interconversion of Example:- burning of fuel.
states)

Name the following


1. Liquid metal at room temperature – mercury
2. Liquid metals just above room temperature-gallium, Cesium
3. Liquid non-metal- bromine
4. Lustrous non-metal- Iodine
5. Examples of metalloids – Boron, silicon and germanium
6. Any two gaseous non-metals- oxygen, nitrogen
7. Any two Solid metals- gold, iron
8. Any two solid non-metals- carbon, sulphur
9. Nonmetal which conducts electricity- graphite (form of carbon)
