61
Name five properties of metals.
Good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, sonorous, high melting points, shiny, form basic oxides
62
Name five properties of non-metals.
Poor conductors of heat and electricity, insulators, brittle, low melting and boiling points, dull, form acidic oxides.
63

67
Acids have a pH value from _______ to _______, neutral substances have a pH value of _______ and alkalis have a pH from ________ to ________. A strong acid could be ________ having a pH of 1. A strong alkali could be ________ having a pH of 14. An example of a neutral substance is ________
zero, six seven eight, fourteen, hydrochloric, sodium hydroxide solution, water
68
Name two everyday uses of neutralisation and what is used to neutralise the excess acid or alkali.
1. neutralising acidic soil-Lime (calcium oxide) is used by farmers for this / 2. treating acid indigestion
69
Why do we use weak acids or alkalis for neutralising?
a weak alkali such as magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia), an antacid is used So that the neutralisation can be done carefully and more can be added if necessary.
70
Name three pollutant gases.
Carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides
71
How are these three pollutant gases formed?
Carbon dioxide is formed from combustion, sulphur dioxide is formed by burning fossil fuels and nitrogen oxides are formed from vehicle exhausts
72
What are the effects of these gases on the environment?
Carbon dioxide is responsible for the greenhouse effect -global warming, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve in rain water and form acid rain -pH lower than 6.
73
sulphur, carbon, copper, magnesium, zinc, sodium Which forms a pollutant gas?
carbon, sulphur
74
sulphur, carbon, copper, magnesium, zinc, sodium Which is a dull, yellow solid?
sulphur
