GIVE SCIENTIFIC REASONS
Sodium is stored under kerosene.
Gold and silver are used to make jewellery.
Calcium floats over water during the reaction with water.
Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points
Tarnished copper utensils are cleaned with lime juice or tamarind.
Copper is exposed to air.
Reason for use
of fused cryolite (Na3AlF6) along with fluorspar (CaF2) which is added to the
electrolytic mixture containing pure alumina.
Electrolysis of
active metals like Na, K, Al is not carried out by using aqueous solution of
their chloride.
Elements like
gold, silver are found in free or native state.
Pure water is a
poor conductor of electricity but aqueous solution of NaCl conducts
electricity.
An aqueous
solution of sodium chloride conducts electricity.
Ionic compounds
are formed due to the combination of metals and nonmetals.
Some elements
occur in free state while others occur in the combined state.
Sodium and
chlorine are poisonous substances but sodium chloride is edible.
Aluminium oxide
is an amphoteric oxide.
Kitchen articles
like pressure cooker, pan etc. are anodized.
