QQuestion 5.
Why soap forms scum with hard water?

Answer

The calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water reacts with Soap to form insoluble precipitate which is called scum.So, soap does not form lather in hard water, making its cleansing action less effective in hard water.


Question 6.
Would you able to check if water is hard by using a detergent?

Answer

No as they lather easily with both soft and hard water


Question 7.
Why covalent compounds are generally poor conductor of electricity?

Answer

Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. There is no ions formation.Hemce poor conductor of electricity


Question 8.
Draw the electron dot and cross structure of the main covalent compound present in compressed natural gas (CNG)?

Answer

Methane is the main covalent compound present in CNG


Question 9.
What type of bond is present in F2?

Answer

Covalent bond


Question 10.
State the number of valence electrons and valency of carbon atom?

Answer

Carbon has four valence electrons in its outermost shell. Thus, its valency is four.
