1. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. Because ionic compounds are formed by the attraction force of two opposite ions and a considerable amount of energy is required to break this strong inter-ionic attraction.

  2. Zinc is more reactive than Iron. When Zn is added to Iron (II) Sulphate, Zinc displaces Iron from its solutions and Zinc sulphate is formed. Zn(s) + FeSO₄(aq) → ZnSO₄(aq) + Cu(s) For more answers visit to website: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-10/science/chapter-3/

  4. (i) Iron react with steam to form the metal oxide and hydrogen. 3Fe(s) + 4H₂O(g) → Fe3O4(s) + 4H₂(g) (ii) The reaction of calcium with water is exothermic but the heat evolved is not sufficient for the hydrogen to catch fire. Ca(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH) ₂ (aq) + H₂ (g) Calcium starts floating because tRead more

    (i) Iron react with steam to form the metal oxide and hydrogen.
    3Fe(s) + 4H₂O(g) → Fe3O4(s) + 4H₂(g)
    (ii) The reaction of calcium with water is exothermic but the heat evolved is not sufficient for the hydrogen to catch fire.
    Ca(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH) ₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)
    Calcium starts floating because the bubbles of hydrogen gas formed stick to the surface of the metal.
    Potassium react violently with cold water and its reaction is so violent and exothermic that the evolved hydrogen immediately catches fire.
    2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g) + heat energy
