acids and base and their properties

 

Acids:--

               An acid is a molecule or ion that is capable of donating a proton that is hydrogen ion (H+ ) or capable of formation of a covalent bond with an electron pair.

Acid:--

In the water solution, any substances whose tastes are sour and whose dissolve in water to release H+ ions and reacts with bases to form salts and promotes certain chemical reactions and also change the colour of certain indicators. This is known as acid.

 

Properties of acids:--

Acids is sour in taste

Acids react with base to form salt

Acid reacts with metal to release hydrogen ions H+

The pH value is less than 7

Acid converts blue litmus paper to red litmus paper

Acid have tendency to corrode the metal surfaces

 

 

Bases:--

            Bases are the substances which dissociates solution to form hydroxide ion OH-  and which can donates electrons and accept protons.

 

Properties of bases :--

Bases are bitter in taste

It has pH value is greater than 7

The bases reacts with acids to form salts

Salts are slippery in touch

Salts has ability to accept protons.

The colour of the litmus paper changes from red litmus paper to blue litmus paper.

They conduct electricity when dissolve in water

A soluble base is called an alkali if it contains and release OH- ions.

A base is a substance that can accept hydrogen cations that is H+ which is known as protons.

METAL And Chemical Properties of metals

  METAL Metal is a element that has metallic bond and have positive ions or cations. Metal is a lattice of positive ions that are surrounded by the cloud of the electrons. In the pure state, metal have a shining surface. This properties are called metallic luster . Here, metals are generally hard. Metals are malleable, because they can be hammered into thin sheets. This property is called as malleability . Metals are ductile it means they can be drawn into wires. The ability of the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called as ductility . For example:--   gold is most ductile metal. Due to the properties of the ductility and malleability, metals can be given in different shapes as per their needs. Metals are opaque Metals are lustrous elements that are good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are denser than the other substances. Metals are good conductor of heat. For example :-- silver and copper. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. Metals ha

Food chains and webs, Tropic levels

Food chains and webs   Food chain is the sequence of organisms in which nutrients and energy is transferred in the form of food from one organism to another organisms. Food chain is the possible pathway in which nutrients and energy is transferred through an ecosystem. A food chain is the linear network of links in which a food web is starting from producers organisms and is ending at decomposers.   A food chain shows a series or organisms taking part at various biotic level. Each steps or levels of the food chain forms a tropic level . The tropic level of an organisms is the position it occupies in a food web. Organisms in food chain are grouped into categories are known as trophic levels. Tropic levels are divided into various levels:--   Producers:--                      The producers or the autotrophs are the first trophic level.   All green plants and few organisms are classified as first trophic or producers. Usually plant and algae or few organisms take nutrien

Eco system

                            Eco system   Eco system is a complex relationship among all organisms such as plants , animals , microorganisms and the human beings and the physical surroundings. And they interact with each other and maintain a balance in environment. An ecosystem is a biological community   of interacting organisms   and their physical environment with non-living organisms form an ecosystem. Thus, an eco system consists of biotic and abiotic components A biotic   component comprising all living organisms. A abiotic components comprising physical factors like temperature, rainfall, wind soil, minerals, etc.   A garden is an eco system In a garden, when we go to the garden, we see that there is different types of plants like as grasses, trees, flower plants like rose jasmine, etc and animals like frogs, insects, bird. All these living organisms interact with each other and their growth, reproduction and other activities are affected by the abiotic compo
