9th Class Chemistry 4th Chapter Kerala Syllabus Question 3.
Define Mendeleev’s periodic law?
Answer:
In 1869 Mendeleev arranged the known 63 elements in horizontal and vertical columns and gave shape to the periodic table. He found that the chemical and physical properties of elements repeat at a regular intervals when they were arranged in the increasing order of atomic masses. Based on this Mendeleev proposed the periodic law of elements. The law states that physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic masses.

Chemistry Notes For Class 9 Periodic Table Kerala Syllabus Question 4.
What is meant by groups and periods in the periodic table?
Answer:
The vertical columns in the periodic table are known as groups and the horizontal rows are called periods.

a) Total number of periods
b) Total number of Groups
c) Are the same elements showing similar properties arranged in the same group or same period?
Answer:
a) 6
b) 8
c) Same group

Class 9 Chemistry Notes Kerala Syllabus Question 6.
Advantages of Mendeleev’s periodic table?
Answer:
1. For the first time elements were comprehensively classified in such a way that elements of similar properties were placed in the same group. This has made the study of chemistry easy.
2. When the classification was made in such a way that the elements of similar properties came in the same group. It was noticed that certain their proper group. The reason for this was wrongly determined atomic masses and consequently, those wrong atomic masses were corrected.
Eg. The atomic mass of beryllium was known to be 14. Mendeleev reassessed it as a and assigned beryllium a proper place.
3. Columns were left vacant for elements which were not known at the time and their properties were predicted also. This gives an impetus to experiments in chemistry.

Ex Mendeleev give names Eka aluminum and Eka silicon to those elements which were to come below aluminum and silicon respectively in the periodic table and predicted their properties. Later when these elements gallium and germanium were discovered the prediction of Mendeleev turned out to be true.

Hsslive Guru 9th Chemistry Kerala Syllabus Question 7.
Explain the limitation of Mendeleev’s Periodic table?
Answer:
1. Elements with large difference in properties were included in the same group.
eg. Hard metal like copper [Cu], Silver [Ag] were included along with soft metals like sodium [Na] potassium [K],
2. No proper position could be given to element hy¬drogen. Non-metallic hydrogen was placed along with metals like sodium [Na] and potassium [K]
3. The increasing order of atomic mass was not strictly followed throughout.
eg. Co and Ni, Te and I
4. As isotopes are atoms of same element having different atomic masses, they should have been given different position while arranging them in the order of atomic mass. But this was not done.

Counting Atomic Calculator is a free online tool that displays the atomic mass for the given chemical formula.

Modern Period Table

Periodic Table 9th Class Pdf Kerala Syllabus Question 8.
State and explain modern periodic table and mod-ern periodic law?
Answer:
In 1913 Mosely through his x-ray diffraction experiments proved that the properties of elements depended on the atomic number not on the atomic mass.

According to this the periodic law of Mendeleev and the periodic table were modified consequently the modern periodic table was prepared by arranging elements in the increasing order of atomic number. The modern periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic number.

Answer:
Atom becomes charged when there is transfer of electrons [Lose or gain electrons] they are called ions.

Question 39.
Define ionization energy?
Answer:
The amount of energy required to liberate the most loosely bound electrons from the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom of an element is called ionization energy.

Question 40.
What are the factors affecting the ionization energy? Nuclear charge
Answer:
Size of the atom

Question 41.
When the size of an atom increases, does the attraction of the nucleus on the outermost electron increase or decrease?
Answer:
Decrease

Question 42.
Then what is the change in ionization energy?
Answer:
As the size of atom increases ionization energy decreases.

Question 43.
Can you find out how ionization energy changes as we move from top to bottom in a group?
Answer:
Ionization energy decreases.

Question 44.
What is the general trend in the variation of ionization energy on moving across a period from left to right?
Answer:
Ionization energy increases

Question 45.
Find how ionization energy changes with increase in nuclear charge?
Answer:
On moving from left to right in a period, as nuclear charge increases, the size of the atom decrease hence ionization energy increase.

Question 46.
Define electronegativity?
Answer:
In the case of two atoms joined by a covalent bond, electronegativity is the ability of each atom to attract the bonded electrons.

Question 47.
How size of an atom influence the electronegativity?
Answer:
As the size of an atom increases the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron increases, hence the electronegativity decreases. As we move in the same period form left to right size of atom decrease hence electronegativity increases.

Question 48.
What is the basis for the chemical properties of metals and non-metals?
Answer:
Metals are the elements which give away the electrons and those that accept electrons are generally non-metals. Metals are electropositive elements because they lose electrons to form positive ions. Non-metals are called electronegative elements because they gain electrons in chemical reactions to form negative ions.

Question 49.
What is relationship between metallic character and the size of an atom?
Answer:
As the size of the atom increases metallic character also increases.

Question 50.
How do the metallic character and nonmetallic character vary while moving from left to right in a period? Arriving at a conclusion by assessing the size of atom?
Answer:
In the periodic table, while moving from to top to bottom in groups metallic character generally in-creases while non-metallic character decreases.
In a period as we move form left to right metallic character generally decreases while non-metallic character increases.

Question 51.
Don’t you think that there is a relationship between ionization energy and metallic -non-metallic character? Is the element with highest ionization energy metallic or non-metallic?
Answer;
Non-metallic

Question 52.
Then what about those having the low ionization energy?
Answer:
Metals

Question 53.
Isn’t there a relationship between electronegativity and metallic, non-metallic character? Explain the relationship?
Answer:
Non-metals are more electronegative.

Metalloids

Question 54.
Explain metalloids?
