4. Metals and Non-metals Learning Objectives By the end of the lesson, you will be able to: ☑ distinguish between metals and non-metals ☑ describe the physical and chemical properties of metals and non-metals ☑ list the uses of some metals and non-metals MINERALS AND ORES You have learnt that all materials Here is the exact text from the image:are made up of basic substances called elements, and that elements cannot be split into simpler substances by chemical methods. There are 118 known elements. Sodium, zinc, gold, mercury, iron, lead, barium and tin (metals); and hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sulphur, chlorine, boron, neon and radon (non-metals) are some examples. Only certain unreactive elements are found free in nature. Others occur in combined states as minerals. A mineral is a solid inorganic substance that is found in nature. A mineral deposit that can be mined and from which an element or compound can be obtained profitably is known as an ore. Elements can be broadly classified into two groups—metals and non-metals. Table 4.1 Some common ores Fig. 4.1 Some common ores a. Bauxite (aluminium) b. Malachite (copper) c. Haematite (iron) d. Galena (lead) e. Apatite (phosphorus) f. Quartz (silicon) -- --- METALS All except 20 of the known elements are metals. Most metals are reactive; they combine with other elements in nature, such as oxygen and sulphur, and occur as oxides, sulphides and carbonates. Only a few unreactive metals like gold, silver and platinum are found as free metals in the Earth's crust. Physical Properties of Metals Metals are solids at room temperature, except mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature (Fig. 4.2(a)). They are generally hard and strong, with a few exceptions such as sodium and potassium, which are soft and can be easily cut with a knife (Fig. 4.2(b)). They have a metallic lustre (shine), especially when freshly cut. They have high melting and boiling points, with a few exceptions like sodium, potassium and mercury. They are good conductors of heat and electricity. Silver and copper are the best conductors of electricity, followed by gold and aluminium. Metals are sonorous. They produce a ringing sound when struck. Most metals have high tensile strength. They can take heavy loads without breaking. They are malleable. Metals, with exceptions like sodium and potassium, can be beaten into thin sheets and foils. They are ductile. Metals, with exception like sodium and potassium, can be drawn into wires. Most metals have high density. However, sodium and potassium have low density and float on water. Fig. 4.2 Special metals a. Mercury b. Sodium --- Chemical Properties of Metals Reaction with oxygen Metals react with oxygen under different conditions to form basic oxides. These basic oxides react with water to form bases. Sodium and potassium react vigorously with oxygen at room temperature. 4Na + O_2 \rightarrow 2Na_2O To prevent this oxidation, sodium and potassium are stored under kerosene. Magnesium reacts with oxygen only when ignited. It burns with a dazzling bright flame and forms a white powder of magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O_2 \rightarrow 2MgO Copper and iron react with oxygen only when heated to a very high temperature. 2Cu + O_2 \rightarrow 2CuO --- --- Reaction with water Metals react with water to form hydroxides or oxides, along with hydrogen. Different metals react at different temperatures. Sodium, potassium, and calcium react with cold water to form hydroxides. 2Na + 2H_2O \rightarrow 2NaOH + H_2 Magnesium Reacts with steam or hot water to form magnesium oxide. Mg + H_2O \rightarrow MgO + H_2 Aluminium Forms an oxide too, but this oxide forms a protective covering over the metal and prevents further reactions. 2Al + 3H_2O \rightarrow Al_2O_3 + 3H_2 Zinc Reacts only with steam. Zn + H_2O \rightarrow ZnO + H_2 Iron Reacts with steam when heated strongly. 2Fe + 3H_2O \rightarrow Fe_3O_4 + 3H_2 Copper, gold, silver, and platinum do not react with water at all. --- Activity 4.1 Teacher Demonstration Aim: To study the reaction of metals with water. [Caution: This activity should be demonstrated by the teacher, and students should stand away from the table.] Materials required: Two 200 mL beakers Pieces of sodium and calcium Forceps Knife Litmus papers Water Method: 1. Fill each beaker with 100 mL of water. 2. Using forceps and a knife, cut a small piece of sodium. 3. Dry it on a tissue paper and drop it into one of the beakers. 4. Repeat the same procedure with calcium. 5. Test the water in both the beakers with red and blue litmus papers. Observations and Conclusions: Sodium reacts vigorously and may explode. A gas is also released. The reaction with calcium is quick, though not as vigorous as that with sodium. In both cases, the red litmus paper turns blue, showing that the solutions are bases. --- Reaction with dilute acids Most metals react with dilute acids to form their salts and liberate hydrogen gas. The reaction with reactive metals like sodium, potassium, and calcium is violent. Magnesium, aluminium, zinc, and iron do not react violently. Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2 Copper, silver, gold, and platinum do not react with dilute acids. --- Reaction with bases Only some metals such as aluminium and zinc react with strong bases like sodium hydroxide to liberate hydrogen gas. Zn + 2NaOH \rightarrow Na_2ZnO_2 + H_2 --- Activity 4.2 Aim: To study the reaction of metals with dilute hydrochloric acid. Materials required: Sandpaper Six test tubes Dilute hydrochloric acid Strips of magnesium, zinc, iron, tin, lead, and copper Method: 1. Clean the metal strips with sandpaper. 2. Add dilute hydrochloric acid to the six test tubes. 3. Insert a strip of metal into each test tube. Observe if any bubbles are formed in the test tubes. If no bubbles are seen, warm them gently in a beaker of hot water. 4. Observe the speed at which gas is generated. This gives an idea of the speed of the reaction. 5. Classify the metals in order of their reactivity with dilute hydrochloric acid. [Caution: Acids are corrosive and should be handled carefully.] --- Activity 4.3 Aim: To study the reaction of metals with bases. Materials required: Small piece of zinc Beaker Sodium hydroxide Method: 1. Prepare warm sodium hydroxide or caustic soda solution. 2. Drop the piece of zinc into it. Observations and Conclusions: You will notice that zinc reacts with sodium hydroxide to liberate hydrogen gas. Observations on Metals with Dilute Acids Metals like sodium, potassium, and calcium react violently with dilute acids to liberate hydrogen gas. Magnesium, aluminium, zinc, and iron also displace hydrogen from dilute acids, but the reaction is not violent. Metals such as copper, silver, gold, and platinum do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids. --- Activity Series of Metals The activity series of metals is the arrangement of metals in decreasing order of reactivity. The series in the book shows reactivity decreasing from top to bottom. Potassium is the most reactive metal while gold is the least reactive. --- Displacement of a Metal by Other Metals A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compounds in an aqueous solution. Some examples: Mg + CuSO_4 \rightarrow MgSO_4 + Cu Zn + FeSO_4 \rightarrow ZnSO_4 + Fe Iron can displace copper from copper sulphate solution (as shown in Activity 4.4). The solution turns green, and reddish-brown copper deposits on the iron nail. Copper cannot displace iron from iron sulphate solution, showing that copper is less reactive than iron. Cu + FeSO_4 \rightarrow \text{No reaction} Question: What do you think will happen if you place a silver spoon in copper sulphate solution? --- Activity 4.4 - Displacement Reaction Aim: To study a displacement reaction. Materials Required: Test tube Iron nail Copper sulphate solution Method: 1. Fill the test tube with copper sulphate solution (blue in colour). 2. Place the clean iron nail in the solution. Observations and Conclusions: After about an hour, the solution changes to green, and a reddish-brown deposit is formed on the iron nail. --- Corrosion of Metals Corrosion is the destruction or damage of a material due to chemical reaction. Rusting of iron happens when iron is exposed to moist air, forming a reddish-brown layer of rust. Rust is iron oxide, which eventually flakes off, damaging the object. Definition written on the page: "Slow eating of a metal’s surface due to oxidation is called corrosion of metals." --Observations on Metals with Dilute Acids Metals like sodium, potassium, and calcium react violently with dilute acids to liberate hydrogen gas.

Definition written on the page: "Slow eating of a metal’s surface due to oxidation is called corrosion of metals." Uses of Metals (Continued) Aluminium Used in high-voltage electric lines. Alloys like duralumin and magnalium are used in aircraft and automobile bodies. Used for making aluminium foil and cooking utensils. Copper Good conductor of electricity → Used in electrical wires, cables, motors, and transformers. Good conductor of heat → Used in the bottoms of stainless steel vessels. Zinc Used to make corrosion-resistant galvanised iron (GI) pipes and sheets. Used as an electrode in dry cells. Other Metals Gold and silver → Used in jewellery. Lead → Used in electrodes of lead storage batteries (used in automobiles and inverters). Chromium → Used for electroplating iron to give a shiny, corrosion-resistant finish. --- Looking Back (True/False Statements) 1. Gold, silver, and platinum are found in the Earth’s crust as free metals. → True 2. Most metals are solids that are soft. → False 3. Metals such as zinc and magnesium react with dilute acids to liberate oxygen. → False 4. A less reactive metal displaces a more reactive metal from its aqueous solution. → False 5. The chemical name of rust is zinc oxide. → False (Rust is Fe₂O₃.xH₂O) 6. Coating zinc objects with iron is called galvanising. → False (Galvanising is coating iron with zinc) Non-Metals Physical Properties of Non-Metals Exist as gases or solids at room temperature (except bromine, which is liquid). Not as hard as metals (except diamond, which is very hard). Low tensile strength and low density. Low melting and boiling points (except graphite). Not sonorous (do not produce a ringing sound). Not malleable or ductile (cannot be beaten into sheets or drawn into wires). Do not have lustre (except iodine and graphite). Bad conductors of heat and electricity (except graphite, and silicon under specific conditions). --Chemical Properties of Non-Metals Reaction with Water Most non-metals do not react with water. Highly reactive non-metals (e.g., phosphorus) catch fire in air, so they are stored in water. Fluorine, chlorine, and bromine react with water to form acids. Reaction with Oxygen Non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic or neutral oxides. Carbon and sulfur react with oxygen to form acidic oxides, which dissolve in water to form acids. Some oxides (e.g., CO, N₂O) are neutral and do not form acids. Examples: Carbon + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) CO₂ + Water → Carbonic Acid (H₂CO₃) Sulfur + Oxygen → Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) SO₂ + Water → Sulfurous Acid (H₂SO₃) Reaction with Acids Unlike metals, non-metals do not replace hydrogen in acids. Silicon reacts with hydrofluoric acid (HF). --Uses of Non-Metals Hydrogen Used in the manufacture of ammonia and industrial chemicals. Used in vanaspati (a cooking oil). Oxygen Used in breathing support systems in hospitals. Used with other gases in equipment to weld metals. Sulphur Used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, sulphur dioxide gas, and other industrial chemicals. Used to make pesticides for agriculture. Used in vulcanising rubber (making it harder) and in gunpowder. Nitrogen Used in the manufacture of ammonia and nitrogenous fertilisers like ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate. Used as an inert gas in processed food packaging to prevent rancidity. Silicon Used in making semiconductors for microchips. Silicates (oxides of silicon) are used in making glass. Other Non-Metals Phosphorus: Used in making fertilisers (superphosphates). Chlorine: Used for disinfecting drinking water. Argon: Used in welding stainless steel and filling electric bulbs. Helium: Used in balloons for meteorological observations. Neon: Used in fluorescent lights for advertisement displays

Please wait outside until I let you in, and put all your stuff at the back just like we've done about 20 times already this semester. Okay? Or this semester and last, and you will be just fine. Now your lecture exam too is 90 marks big. It is 90 multiple choice questions. Okay. It is going to be on cardiovascular disorders, urinary system, fluid balance, Okay. So let's start talking about them. First of all, okay, you need to know the difference between a myocardial infarct, ischemic attack, a congestive heart failure, and angina pectorals. You need to know what a low level inflammatory response that develops over time where the endothelium is damaged due to the aging or prolonged hypertension, where LDLs accumulate, and the endothelium is repaired with collagen is called. That might take you a long time to read. Okay? But it is a good question. Okay? You need to know now be really, really clear on these. Okay? You absolutely need to know the difference between right ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular hypertrophy and what they cause. Because there's two questions on here, and so far, this one hasn't been done very well. Okay? Make sure you understand what right ventricular hypertrophy leads to and you understand what left ventricular hypertrophy leads to. Now the original term, congestive heart failure, that refers to left ventricular hypertrophy leading to backup in the lungs. K? You need to know what arteries or vessels are used in bypass surgery. You need to know what a mini stroke is. Okay? You need to know the difference between thrombus and ballast occlusion and arthroma. You need to know what is a restriction in blood supply generally due to factors in the blood vessels with resultant damage or dysfunction of tissue. You need to know, what are the consequences of an aging cardiovascular system. And then I I've got a matching question for you. You need to match the basic function of the proximal convoluted tubule, the glomerulus, and the peri colic duct. And then two of my favorite questions. Are you ready? Okay. You have to find out which of the following is the best explanation for why the cells of the proximal convoluted tubule contain so many microclonary. Oh, isn't that lovely? Okay. And then the other one you need to know is you need to find the best explanation for the microvilli on the apical surface of the proximal convoluted tubules. So don't get that one wrong because we've talked about microvilli about a bazillion times. Okay? This picture is gonna be on there, folks. Okay? This is the picture of the of the nephron from your textbook. Okay. You need to label things like glomerulus glomerulus afferent arteriole collecting duct nephron move. Okay. Where do you find the granular cells? Okay. The difference between the medulla and the cortex. Make sure you know all of those things. I'll read you this one. This is a good question too. Hydrostatic pressure is the primary driving force of plasma through the filtration membrane into the capsular space. All the publicly following statements reflects why hydrostatic pressure is so high in the glomerular capillaries. Select the one statement that does not explain the high pressure within the glomerular capillaries. So you need to know why glomerular capillary pressure is higher than the rest of the capillaries in the body. You need to know how or why cells or transport proteins are prevented from moving through how yeah. What drives reabsorption of organic nutrients in the proximal condylated tubule? Who drives thus? You need to know the mechanism that establishes the medullary osmotic gradient the The functional and structural unit of the kidneys is what? The g force pushing the blood and solids out of the blood across the filtration membrane is what? Okay. The macular densities cells do what? Function in angiotensin two is to do what? What is, specific gravity or density? Okay. If you talk about the specific gravity or density of urine, how is it different from water? You need to actually, this is just one question, but it should be a pretty simple one. Okay? You need to place the following and correct sequence from the formation of a drop of urine to its elimination of the body. And so you have to go through from well, I'll just read it to you. Major calyx, minor calyx, nephron, urethra, ureter, and collecting that. So you need to put those in order from start to finish. Okay? What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure were increased above normal? You need to know what would happen. Reabsorption of bilevels of glucose and amino acids in the filtrate is accomplished. The 44 more. Okay. So you need to match to their definition. All of your hypo and hypers. Make sure you have some under control. Okay? And then you need to match possible causes. So there's possible causes of respiratory alkalosis, metabolic alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and respiratory acidosis. Respiratory alkalosis, metabolic alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and respiratory acidosis. There are possible causes for those four things. You need to match the disorder to the cause. Okay? And then you need to know, the body's motor volume is mostly tied to the level of then I have a couple of clinical correlation questions for you, but they are multiple choice this time. So something happened to Jane. You have to tell me what's happening to Jane. Okay? Now whereas sodium is mainly found in the extracellular fluid, most is found in intracellular systems are. Okay. Which of the following is not a likely source of hydrogen ions in blood plasma, so there's a few types in the tablets, so make sure you know which ones are going to produce acids and which ones aren't. And then Annie had something happen to her as well. Across capillary walls is what? Regulation of potassium balance is what? Now Dave Dave did something silly. Okay? Dave ran a marathon. Okay? And then Dave did something even more silly afterwards. I want you to tell me what happened to Dave. And in addition to that, Nancy is having a panic attack. So I want you to tell me what's happening to Nancy in terms of respiratory aesophosis and respiratory aldosterone. Okay. If thyroid and parathyroid glands were surgically removed, which of the following would go out of balance without replacement therapy? Falling arterial blood pressure holds which? An illness, Doug. Doug has severe diarrhea. Okay. And, is accompanying the loss of bicarbonate or secretions. So how is Doug gonna compensate for that for Doug? Okay. You need to know what the medical term for kidney stones is. You need to know what happens, or what could cause the passage of proteins, red blood cells, and white blood cells into the urine. You need to know how to solve prostatic enlargement, and, you need to know what the presence of white blood cells in urine is called and what is causing it. Okay? And then there's a picture of the lymphatic of the lymph node. Okay. You need to label the lymph node picture. And then you there is going to be a matching question on lymphatic structures, so you need to know what happens in the spleen, the lymph nodes, the thoracic duct, the lymph, and the pyre patches. There's a list, a small short list. Okay? So in other words, you're going to need to know what is classified as a lymphoid organ and what does not. Okay? So make sure you know what your lymphoid organs are. You need to know the pathway of lymph. So it starts in lymph capillaries. Where does it end? Make sure you know all the steps along the way. And then you need to know the functions of the spleen. What did what does the spleen do? And that is it for an example

Ch 2 Chemical Compounds and Bondings Chemical bond: force of attraction between 2 atoms or 2 ions. There are 2 main types of chemical bonds: 1. Ionic bond: a bond between a metallic atom (metal) and a non-metallic atom (non-metal) in which there is a complete transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal. The compound which is formed is called an ionic compound. Ex.: NaCl , MgCl2, Al2O3 To write the formula of an ionic compound we use the criss-cross method (we down cross multiply the charges without the sign, only the numbers of the charges) Remark: if the charges are the same then they cancel each other in the formula so there will be one atom of the metal and one atom of the non-metal in the compound. Exercise: Write the formula of the compound which is formed between the following elements, and name each compound. a) Rb and S: b) Ca and Se: c) Al and Br: d) Na and N: - Draw a Bohr diagram to show the transfer of electrons (loss / gain) in an ionic compound. Example: Na2O (sodium oxide) Remark: The ionic bond is also described as an electrostatic force of attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion (eg: Na+ Cl- ). 2. Covalent bond: a bond between a non-metal and another non-metal in which there is a sharing of electrons between the non-metallic atoms. The compound that is formed is called a covalent or molecular compound. Molecule: 2 or more atoms (non-metallic) bonded together; the atoms can be of the same element such as O2 or of different elements such as HCl, CH4, H2O,….. We show the sharing of electrons between non-metallic atoms by using the Lewis diagram. In addition we can make intersecting circles for the atoms to show the sharing. Reminder: Lewis diagram of an atom shows only the valence electrons of that atom. Most of the atoms follow the octet rule (there are very few exceptions), that is each atom will have eight electrons in the valence shell (same as noble gases) except hydrogen will have 2 electrons after sharing (same as helium). Remark: 2 electrons that are not bonded to any other atom is called a lone pair (non-bonding pair) of electrons. Exercise: Draw lewis diagrams to show the sharing of electrons in each of the following compounds: 1. NF3 2. CH4 3. CO2 4. CCl4 5. CH2O Remark:In drawing Lewis structure, we show the bonds between the atoms and we also show all lone pairs (if present) on any atom. - Naming molecular compounds: 1: mono 2: di 3: tri 4: tetra 5: penta 6: hexa 7: hepta 8: octa 9: nona 10:deca Example: PCl5 : phosphorus pentachloride Remark: If the first element contains only one atom we don’t write mono before it; If the second element contains only one atom we have to write mono before it. Ex.: NO : nitrogen monoxide CO: carbon monoxide Exercise: Fill in the table below Name Chemical Formula diphosphorus pentoxide SO3 CO Aluminum sulfide Al2S3 SF6 Calcium oxide Lithium nitride Li3N Remark: If the compound contains a transition metal, then we have to mention the type of charge of the transition metal by inserting a roman numeral in brackets (I, II, III, IV ….) after the symbol of the transition metal. Example: Name the following compounds: - FeCl2 : Iron (II) chloride - Cu(NO3)2 : Copper (II) nitrate Remark: There are few transition metals that have only one type of charge such as zinc, nickel, and silver; in this case no roman numeral is required. Zinc : Zn+2 Silver: Ag+ Nickel: Ni+2 - ZnSO4 : zinc sulfate - AgNO3 : silver nitrate - CuSO4 : copper (II) sulfate - Co(NO3)3 : cobalt (III) nitrate Exercise: Write the formula of the following compounds. Calcium phosphate: Iron(III) hydroxide: Sodium hydroxide: Manganese(II) hydroxide: Barium sulfate: Zinc carbonate: Ammonium nitrate: Remark: We must enclose the polyatomic ion in brackets if the number after it is more than 1. Note: If the polyatomic ion that ends with the prefix –ate decreases by one oxygen atom then the prefix changes to -ite. If the prefix ending with – ite decreases by one oxygen atom then we precede the prefix by hypo, whereas if the prefix ending with – ate increases by one oxygen atom then we precede the prefix by per. Example: ClO3- is called chlorate; if we reduce one oxygen atom then the ion becomes ClO2- and is called chlorite, however if we increase by one oxygen atom then the ion becomes ClO4- and is called perchlorate; and if the chlorite is reduced by one oxygen atom then the ion becomes ClO- and is called hypochlorite. Exercise: Name the following compounds: K2SO3 : NaNO2 : Mg(ClO4)2 : LiBrO2 : - Comparison Table between ionic and covalent (molecular) compounds: property Ionic Compounds Covalent Compounds State (at room temperature) solids Solids, liquids or gases Melting point and boiling point Very high Usually low Involvement of electrons Loss and gain (transfer) of electrons Sharing of electrons Electric conductivity When dissolved in water (in solution) , electric conductivity is high
