(a) With the hammer, we can beat the sample and if it can be beaten into thin sheets (that is, it is malleable), then it is a metal otherwise a non-metal. Similarly, we can use the battery, bulb, wires, and a switch to set up a circuit with the sample. If the sample conducts electricity, then it isRead more

(b) The above tests are useful in distinguishing between metals and non-metals as these are based on the physical properties. No chemical reactions are involved in these tests.
(c) Food cans are coated with tin and not with zinc because zinc is more reactive than tin. For more answers visit to website: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-10/science/chapter-3/
(c) Food cans are coated with tin and not with zinc because zinc is more reactive than tin.
(c) Applying a coating of zinc (We can also apply grease and paint to prevent iron from rusting. However, in case of iron frying pan, grease and paint cannot be applied because when the pan will be heated and washed again and again, the coating of grease and paint would get destroyed.)

What are amphoteric oxides? Give two examples of amphoteric oxides.
Examples: aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) Al₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H₂O [ Basic ] Al₂O₃ + 2NaOH → 2NaAlO₂ + H₂O [ Acidic ] Zinc oxide (ZnO) is also an amphoteric oxide. For more answers visit to website: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-10/science/chapter-3/
