1. Give one word/words for the statements given below :[5]
(a) A compound in which shared pair of electrons are equally
distributed between the reacting atoms.
(b) The process due to which an atom or an ion loses an
electron/electrons.
(c) The substance which loses an electron or electrons.
(d) Weak electrostatic forces between the molecules of polar
covalent compounds.
(e) A chemical reaction in which gain and loss of electrons
takes place simultaneously.
2. Fill in the blanks[5]
(a) In the formation of sodium chloride, the sodium atom loses an
electron from its valence shell and hence is_________.
(oxidized/reduced).
(b) In the formation of magnesium oxide, the magnesium atom
loses two electrons from its valence shell and hence is
a---------------(oxidizing agent/reducing agent).
(c) Higher difference in the value of
the reacting atoms, leads to the formation of
ionic bond. (electronegativity/electopositivity)
(d) When the participating atoms in a chemical reaction are two__
a covalent bond is formed. (metals/non-metals)
(e) The compounds in fused state or aqueous_____solution
are good conductors of electricity. (ionic/covalent)
