Q3: What is sonorous?
Ans: Metals produce ringing sounds, They are said to be sonorous.
Q4: Define metals.
Ans: The materials which have the property of hard, malleable, ductile, sonorous and good conductor of heat and electricity. These are called metals.
Q5: Define non-metals.
Ans: Some materials are soft and dull and they break down into powdery mass on tapping with hammer. They are not sonorous and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. These materials are called non-metals. Examples of non-metals are sulphur, carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, etc.
Q6: What is the property of metallic oxide?

Q8: Complete the following reaction.
(i) Magnesium (Mg) + Oxygen (O2)® 2MGO.
(ii) Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O2)+ Water (H2O) ® Fe3 O4 +2H2.
Q9: Why is phosphorous is stored in water?
Ans: Phosphorus is a very reactive non-metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen, it is stored in water.
