Question 11 Mark
Define covalent bond Explain with an example.
Answer
Covalent bonds are bonds that are formed by the sharing of electrons. They are formed when two atoms, usually non-metals, share electrons to complete the outer shell of electrons.

Question 21 Mark
what do you understand by electrovalent bond? Explain with an example.
Answer
An electrovalent bond is formed when a metal atom transfers one or more electrons to a non-metal atom.
Some examples of electrovalent bond are: $\mathrm{MgCl}_2, \mathrm{CaCl}_2, \mathrm{MgO}, \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}, \mathrm{CaH}_2, \mathrm{AlF}_3, \mathrm{NaH}, \mathrm{KH}, \mathrm{K} 2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{KI}, \mathrm{RbCl}, \mathrm{NaBr}, \mathrm{CaH}_2$ etc.

Question 71 Mark
The table below shows the elements from P to T, such that a pair of elements is an isotope. Identity the pair and give a reason for your choice:
ElementsNo. of protonsNo. of neutronsNo. of electrons
P111211
Q121212
R111311
S131413
T141414
Answer
we know that Isotope have same atomic number hence same Number of Proton therefore P and R are Isotope

Question 81 Mark
Explain why $3 \mathrm{He}_2$ and $3 \mathrm{H}_1$ are not considered as isotopes.
Answer
$3 \mathrm{He}_2$ and $3 \mathrm{H}_1$ are not considered isotopes because they have different atomic number but isotopes have same atomic number and different mass number

Question 211 Mark
State Rutherford’s structure of atom.
Answer
The atom, as described by Ernest Rutherford, has a tiny, massive core called the nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge. Electrons are particles with a negative charge. Electrons orbit the nucleus.

Question 221 Mark
State two conclusions from Rutherford’s scattering of alpha particles with gold foil.
Answer
Almost 99% of the α-particles pass through the gold foil without any deflection. So atom must be having a lot of empty space in it. ii) Several α-particles get deflected at angle
