hi,
i have a couple of questions in oct/nov 1998
Q.4
Q.21
Q.11
tyvm and plz help :D
http://www.freeexampapers.com/past_papers.php?l=Past_Papers/IGCSE/Chemistry/CIE/1993-2003/ here is the link again :D
4 : u need to estimate like if u take 1 division for 0.5 u'll get 35.5 so i'll be B
11 : It will be A ,as it has 4 hydrgen in one carbon so 4 water molecules
if u c B it has 2 carbon with 6 hydrgen so 6 water molecule but if u take 2 of the structures of A u will get 8 H which is 8H2O
21: i think it will be C but em not sure

hey question for chemistry
which side of periodic table alkalis, non metals, metals, and acids lie
and if its a metal will it have a positive charge or negative charge!
please explain

Look,
Left side has metals which have either basic or amphoteric oxides (grp1 are called alkali metals) basicity increases to the left and down the group
Right side has non-metals which have either acidic or neutral oxides, Acidity increases to the right and up the group
Charges: Metals usually loose electron( which are negativel charged) becoming positively charged
non-metals on the other hand gain electron becoming negatively charged

Hey guys could anyone explain to me why in s06 paper 1 chemistry the answer to question 9 is c??
b/c diagram 2 shows a single bond which may represent hydrgen
n diagram 3 shows double bond which may represent oxygen
but diagram 1 shows no bond which means dat its a noble gas and water can never be made of noble gas
so the answer is 2 and 3

because water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. and hydrogen is diatomic with single bonds so 2 and also oxygen is diatomic but it has double bonds as oxygen has a valency of two and this is 3 and so the answer is 2 and 3 which is C
if u dont understand ask again :D

metals are on the left side of the periodic table
non metals are on the right side of the table
you can not exactly say where acids and alkalies lie (it depends wether u are considering elements or compounds)
but metalic elements usually form alkali compounds
while non metalic elements form acidic compounds.
