CASE BASED QUESTIONS (4 MARKS)

1. We generally come across two types of compounds , one called ionic
compounds and other called molecular compounds. The first fundamental
requirement to study these compounds is to know how we write the chemical
formulae of these compounds. Ionic compounds consist of positive and negative
ions. Each ions carries a definite amount of charge called valency of the ion.
Knowing the symbols or formulae of the ions involved and their valencies, the
formula of the compound formed between them can be written. In molecular
compounds, as there are no ions present , the valencies of the elements involved
(generally non-metals) are their combining capacities found by combination of
H, Cl or O atoms.
(a) Write the symbol of one polyatomic cation and one polyatomic anion.
(b) Write the formula of calcium phosphate.
(c) The sulphate of an element M has he formula MSO4 , what will be the
formula of its nitrate and carbonate.
OR
(c) Write the formulae of each
(i) Polyatomic cation (ii) Monoatomic anion
2. As more and more elements were discovered , it became very important to
give appropriate names and symbols to different elements. Though the names of
most of the elements have been taken from English , there are some elements
which get their names from Latin, German or Greek. Further, when the elements
combine, they form molecules or compounds. The next important study was
how to write the formulae of these molecules or compounds. For this
purpose,the concept of valency was introduced.
(a) Why is the symbol of silver written as Ag?
(b) What do you mean by saying the molecular mass of oxygen is 32?
(c) What do you mean by Divalent cation and divalent anion? Why should
NaCl be better represented as (NaCl)n
OR
(c )Write the symbols of the following ions along with
their charges: (i) Oxalate ion (ii)
Permanganate ion
