Metal and Non-Metal || Class 10 || Science || CBSE Notes 
Dear Students, Today we are going to share the Notes of Carbon and its Compound. These notes are prepared by the experienced teachers. These notes are free to all the students. These notes has been prepared according to the CCE pattern of school education based on NCERT Syllabus prescribed by the Central Board of School Education for Class X. All the important topics are covered in these notes. 

There are 115 chemical elements known as present. On the basis of their properties, all the element can be divided into two main group: Metal and Non-Metal.

Metals: Metals are the element that conduct heat and electricity and are malleable and ductile.

 All metals are solid expect Mercury.
  Metals are the element except hydrogen which form positive Ion by loosing electron.Al 3+
  Metal are electropositive
  The most abundant metal in the earth crust is aluminium.

 Physical property of matter

(1) Metal are malleable that is metal can be beaten into thin sheet with a hammer without breaking it .
(2) Metal are ductile that is metal can be drawn into wire.
(3) Metal are good conductor of heat and electricity .
(4) Metal are lustrous and Shiny and can be polished.
(5) Metal are generally hard except Sodium and potassium which are soft and can be cut with a knife.
(6) Metal are strong except Sodium and potassium.
(7) Metal are solid at room temperature.
(8) Metal have high melting point and boiling point except Sodium and potassium which have low melting and boiling point.
(9) Metal have high density except Sodium and potassium which have low density.
(10) Metal are sonorous that is metal makes sound when it hit with an object.
(11) Metal usually has Silver or grey colour except Copper and gold.

Chemical property of Metal

The most important chemical property of matter are as follow:
(1). Reaction of metal with oxygen :-When metal are burnt in air, airn they react with oxygen of air to form metal oxide.
                           Metal + Oxygen ª Metal oxide



(c) Aluminium metal burn in air to form Aluminium oxide
                     4 Al + 3O2 ª 2Al2 O3

The aluminium oxide show acidic as well as basic property therefore known as amphoteric oxides.  Zinc also form amphoteric oxides.
Amphoteric oxides reacts with acid and base to form salts and water.

In this reaction,  aluminium behave as a basic oxide.

In this reaction, ammonium oxide behave as an acidic oxide because it react with base to form salt.

Reaction of Metal with Water: 
When metals react with water (cold or hot) the product formed are metal Hydroxide or hydrogen gas.

Metal + Steam ª Metal Oxides + Hydrogen

Metal Oxides + Water ª Metal Hydroxide

Example :
(i) Potassium reacts violently with cold water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen.
The reaction is exothermic.
(ii) Aluminium reacts with steam to form Aluminium oxide and hydrogen gas.
(iii) Reaction of metal with acids : - Metals usually  displace hydrogen from dilute acids. Only less reactive metal like Copper, silver and gold do not displace it.
Metal + dilute acid ª Metal Salt + Hydrogen
Example:- Sodium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid  to form sodium chloride and hydrogen.

Some metal like Copper does not react with HCl.

Reaction of metals with salt solution:

When a more reactive metal is put in the salt solution of less reactive metal, then the more reactive metal displace the less reactive metal from its salt solution. i.e.

Salt solution of Metal B + Metal A ª Salt solution of  Metal A + Metal B.

Example: The reaction of Zinc with copper sulphate.
Solution:

Reaction of Metal with Chlorine:
Metal react with chlorine to form metal chlorides.
Example: Sodium is a metal react with chlorine to form sodium chloride.

Reaction of Metal with Hydrogen :

Most of the metals do not combine with hydrogen.  Only a few metal like Sodium, Potassium, calcium  and magnesium react with hydrogen to form hydrides.
Aqua Regia 
                                     It is a freshly prepared mixture of one part of concentrated nitric acid and 3 part of concentrated hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive and blooming liquid which can dissolve all the metal even gold and potassium too.

Non-Metals

Non-Metal are the element that do not conduct electricity and neither malleable nor ductile.
Out of 20 non-metal, 10 non-metal are solid,  one non-metal is bromine is liquid, whereby remaining 11 are gases.
Non-Metals are the element which form negative ion by gaining electrons.
  Non-Metals are electronegative. 
  Hydrogen only non metal which loses electron

Physical property of Non-Metal

(1) The physical property of Non-Metal are just the opposite of Metals:
(2) Non-metals are neither malleable nor ductile. non metal are brittle
 (3) Non-metals do not conduct heat and electricity except graphite.
(4) Non-metals are non lustrous (not shiny). They are dull.
(5) Non-metals Generally softexcept diamond which is extremely hard non metal
(6) Non-metals are not strong. there are easily broken
(7) Non-metals may be solid liquid or gas at room temperature
(8) Non-metal have comparatively the low melting and boiling point except Diamond whose melting point is about 3500° C 
(9) Non-metal have low density. i.e. they are light substance .
(10) Non-Metal are non-sonorous. They do not produce any loud sound when hit with an object.
(11) Non-metal are of many colour.

Some exception in Physical Property of Non-metal and Metal

(1) Carbon is in the form of graphite conduct electricity is a non-metal.
(2) Iodine is a non metal which is lustrous.
(3) Carbon is the form of diamond (Non-metal) is extremely hard
(4) Mercury metal is liquid at room temperature.
 (5) Sodium, Potassium, Cesium and gallium metal are low melting point whereas diamond is a non-metal and have a high melting and boiling point.
(6) Alkali metals have low density like Sodium and Potassium.

Chemical Properties of Non-Metal

The important chemical properties of non-metal are given below:

(1) Reaction of non-metal with oxygen: Non-metal react with oxygen to form acidic oxides or neutral oxides. The acidic oxides of non-metal dissolve in water to form acids.
Example:
(a) Carbon burns in air, it reacts with oxygen of air to form acidic oxides called carbon dioxide.
The acidic oxides carbon dioxide dissolved in water to form an acid called carbonic acid.
(2) Reactions of Non-Metal with Water: Non-metal do not reacts with water or steam and hence do not evolve hydrogen gas.

(3) Reaction of Non-metal with Dilute acid: Non Metal do not react with dilute acids.

(4) Reaction of non-metal with Salt Solution: A more reactive non-metal displaced a less reactive non-metal from its salt solution
Example
(5) Reaction of Non-metal with Chlorine:- Non-metal react with chlorine to form covalent chloride which are non-electrolytes (and do not conduct electricity)
Example
(6) Reaction of Non-metal with Hydrogen :- Non metal react with Hydrogento form covalent hydrides.Non metals form covalent hydrides because non-metal atoms cannot give electron to hydrogen atom to form hydride ions.
Example :

How do metal and non-metal react?

When metals react with non metal they form ionic compound. On the other hand, when non metal react with other non metals they form covalent compound.
The force which links the atoms in a molecule is called a chemical bond.

To have 8 electrons in the outermost shell is known as Octet of the electrons. Most of the inert gases have octet of electrons in their valence shells. Only in case of helium the number of outermost electron is 2.

Chemical bond: It is a force which binds the participating atom together in a molecule.

Cause of Chemical Bond:

Everything in the world wants to attain minimum energy state, that is to become more and more stable. For atom this stability comes only if there octet is completed that is their electronic configuration is similar to noble gas.
To attain noble gas configuration atoms of various elements react with each other to form a chemical bond.

How an atom can achieve noble gas configuration:

E By losing electrons in the atom of an element.
E By gaining electrons from the atom of other element.
E By the mutual sharing of electrons.

Ions

An iron is an electrically charged atom (or a group of atoms).  Example of ions are : Sodium ion, Na+ , Magnesium ion Mg2+ , Chloride ion (Cl) and oxide ion O2 ─
An ion is found by the loos or gain of electron by an atom. So, it contain an equal number of electron and protons. Ions are of two type: Cations and Anions

1. Cations:- A positively charged ion is known as cations. A cation is formed by loss of one or more electrons by an atom. For example: Sodium atom loses 1 electron to form a sodium ion Na+,  which is a cation:
 

2. Anion:- A negative charged ion is known as anion. An anion is formed by gain of one or more electron by an atom. For example, of chlorine atom gain 1 electron to form a chloride ion (Cl)  which is an anion.

Formation of Positive ions (or cations): The atom loses electrons to form possible charge and cations.
For example:
Formation of Negative Ion or (Anions) : The non-metal atoms accept electrons to form negative ions or anions.
Type of chemical bonds: There are two type of chemical bonds:
(1) Ionic bond
(2) Covalent bond

Ionic Bond: The chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one and another is known as ionic bond.

+-The loss and gain of electrons takes place in such a way that both the participating atoms can achieve noble gas configuration.
For example:
Some more examples are as

Formation of  Sodium  oxide
Formation of Sodium phosphide
 Formation of  Magnesium oxide

Ionic Compound / Electrovalent Compound
These are the compound which contain electrovalent or ionic bond i.e. they are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from the atom of an element to the atom of another elements.
e.g. Copper Sulphate (CuSo4),  Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl) Calcium Nitrate (Ca(Na3)2) , ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) , ferric chloride (FeCl3),  Lead sulphate (PbSO4) , mercuric oxide (HgO).

Covalent Bond
It is the chemical bond by the mutual sharing of electrons between the participating atoms of non-metal.
 The sharing of electron takes place in such a way that each atom in the resulting molecules attains noble gas configuration.

Example:
Formation of Hydrogen molecules (H 2)
Formation of Oxygen molecules (O2)
Formation of Nitrogen molecules (N2)

Types of Covalent bond:

(1) Single Covalent Bond
(2) Double Covalent Bond
(3) Triple Covalent Bond

Single Covalent Bond:

It is  formed by sharing of one pair of electron and is represented by (―).

For example:- Formation of Hydrogen Molecules (H2)
Formation of Methane Molecules (CH4)

Formation of Hydrogen Chloride (HCL)

Formation of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)


Double Covalent Bond
It is formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons and is represented by (=) .
For example:
Formation of oxygen molecules (O2)


Formation of Ethene (Ethylene) C2H4
Triple Bond (º)
It is formed by the sharing of three pair of electrons and is represented by (º).
Example:
Formation of Nitrogen molecules (N2)
 Formation of Ethyene (C2H2)

Covalent Compound
These are the compound which contain covalent bond that is they are formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the participating atoms of non-metals.
For example:
Surcose (C12H22O11), Glucose (C6H12O6), Ethanol (C2H5OH), Methanol (CH3OH), Methane (CH4) etc.

Occurrence of Metal

The earth crust is the major sources of metals. Sea-Water also contains salts of metals like Sodium Chloride, magnesium chloride etc.
Most of the metals are quite reactive and hence do not occur as free elements in nature.
Only a few less reactive metals like Copper, silver, gold and platinum are found in free state.
Copper and silver metal occur in free state as well in combined state in the form of compound.
All the metal which are placed above copper in the reactivity series are found in nature only in the form of their compound.

Minerals:-
It is a naturally occurring organic or inorganic substance which is mined from the earth e.g. Coal, Petroleum, natural gas, Diamond, rock salt (NaCl)
Ore: It is the mineral from which the metal can be extracted profitably. All the ores are mineral but all the mineral are not ores. E.g. Na from NaCl, Al from Aluminium oxide Al2O32H2O, Zn from Zinc Carbonate ZnCO3 and Iron (Fe) from Iron oxide (Fe3O3).

Gangue/Matrix: These are the unwanted importance such as sand, rocky materials, earthy particles present in the Mineral ore.

Flux : It is a substance which combines with the gangue to form a lighter, fusible material called slag.
                    Flux + Gangue ª Slag

Slag: It is lighter fusible material formed by the action of flux and gangue.
             Flux + Gangue ª Slag

Metallurgy: It is a special branch of chemistry which is deals with the study of various steps that are involved in the extraction of metal from its naturally occurring ore followed by the refining of metals.

Anode: It is an electrode where the oxidation i.e. the loss of electrons takes place.

Cathode: It is an electrode where the reduction i.e. the gaining of electrons takes place.

Electrolysis: It is the process of decomposition of electrolyte by the passage of electricity.

Extraction of Metals

To obtain metal from its ore is called extraction of metals. The ore are converted into free metals by the number of steps which depends upon the type of ore used, nature of the impurities present and reactivity of the metal to be extracted.
The three major steps involved in the extraction of metal from its ore are:-
(1) Concentration of Ore ( or Enrichment of ore)
(2) Conversion of concentrated ore into metal, and
(3) Refining (Purification) of impure metal.

(1) Concentration of ore (or Enrichment of Ore): Ore is an impure compound of a metal containing a large amount of sand and rocky material. Before extracting the metal from an ore, it is necessary to remove these impurities (or gangue).
The method used for removing gangue from ore depends on some difference in the physical properties or chemical properties of the ore or gangue. Concentration of ore is also known as enrichment of ore.


Conversion of Concentrated Ore into Metal:
For this we group the (element) metal into the following three categories:-
(1) Metal of high reactivity
(2) Metal of medium reactivity
(3) Metals of low reactivity

Extraction of Highly Reactive Metals:ª The highly reactive metals such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and Aluminium are extracted by the electrolysis of their molten chlorides or oxides. The metal extracted by the electrolysis is very pure. They do not contain any impurities. During the electrolysis of molten salts the metals are always produce at the cathode.

For example:
 We cannot use an aqueous solution of sodium chloride to obtain Sodium metal because electrolysis of Sodium Chloride solution will provide Sodium Hydroxide but not sodium metal.
Extraction of Moderately Reactive Metals:ª

The moderately reactive metals which are in the middle of reactivity series are extracted by the reduction of their oxide with carbon, ammonium, sodium or calcium.
It is easier to obtain metals from their oxide (by reduction) than from carbonates and sulphides.
The concentrated ore can be converted into metal oxide by the process of calcination or roasting.
(1) Calcination: Calcination is a process in which a carbonate ore is heated strongly in the absence of air to convert it into metal oxide. For example, Zinc occurs as zinc carbonate in calamine ore (ZnCO3). When ZnCO3 is calcined, it decomposes to form zinc oxide and carbon dioxide.
Calcination convert zinc carbonate into zinc oxide.-

(2) Roasting: It is the process in which a sulphide ore is strongly heated in the presence of air to convert it into metal oxide. For example: Zinc occurs as sulphide in zinc blende ore (ZnS), When ZnS is strongly heated in air it form zinc oxide and Sulphur dioxide.
Thus roasting converts Zinc sulphide into zinc oxide.

F The metal oxides obtained by calcination or roasting of ore are converted into free metal by using reducing agents like carbon, aluminium, sodium or calcium.

(1) Reduction of Metal Oxide with Carbon: The oxide of  comparatively less reactive metals like Zinc, Iron, Nickel, tin, lead, copper are usually reduced by carbon as a reducing agent. For example:
Tin and lead metal are also extracted by the reduction of their oxide with carbon.

Even the less reactive metal copper is extracted by the reduction of its oxide with carbon.

(2) Reduction of Metal oxide with Aluminium:

Aluminium which is more reactive metal can also be used as a reducing agent in the extraction of metal from their oxides.
This is because a more reactive metal like aluminium can displace a comparatively less reactive metal from its metal oxide to give free metal. 
For example:-
This is a displacement reaction which is also a oxidation and reduction reaction.
The reduction of metal oxide to form metal by using aluminium powder as a reducing agent is also called thermite reaction.

Extraction of Less Reactive Metal:-
The less reactive metal which are quite low in the activity series are extracted by reduction of their oxide by heat alone.

For example:- Mercury metal can be extracted by heating its sulphide ore in air.  Mercury metal are produced from the sulphide ore cinnabar HgS, it consists of roasting and then heat.
(2) Extraction of Copper:-
Refining of Metal:

The process of purified impure metal is called refining of metals. The most impure and widely used method for refining impure metals is electrolytic refining.

Electrolytic Refining: Electrolytic refining meaning refining by electrolysis. Many metal like copper, zinc, tin, lead, ch+romium, nickel, silver and gold and refining electrolytically. For the refining of an impure metal by electrolysis:-

(a) A block of the metal is made anode.
(b) A thin strip of the pure metal is made cathode.
(c) A water soluble salt of the metal to be refining defined is taken as electrolyte.

Electrolytic refining of Copper:

A lump of impure carbon metal and a thin strip of copper are dipped in the solution of copper sulphate. Impure lamp of metal is concentrated with the positive polled and thin strip of pure matter is connected with the negative pole.

When electric current is passed through the solution, pure metal from anode moves towards cathode and is deposit over it. Impurities present in the metal are settled near the bottom of anode in the solution. Settle impurities in the solution settled impurities in the solution are called anode mud.


At Anode  :- Cu ― 2e    ª   Cu + +

At Cathode :- Cu 2 + + 2 e  ª Cu
