31 When we talk about chemical reactions, we usually (1+1+2=4)
discuss the breakage and formation of bonds, gain and
loss of electrons, and conversion from one state of matter
to another. If we look closely, we might observe hundreds
of chemical reactions taking place in our vicinity. You
may find it quite surprising that almost one-third of the
chemical reactions taking place in the surroundings fall
under the category of redox reactions. Redox reactions
include different types of chemical changes which occur
in nature. The chemical changes may occur slowly,
rapidly, or abruptly; say, for example, rusting of iron
takes a long time whereas the cleaning of dishes can be
done rather quickly.

(i) Justify whether the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate reaction is redox or not. Not
redox as no change in oxidation number

32 The history of the periodic table reflects over two (1+1+2=4)
centuries of growth in the understanding of the
chemical and physical properties of the elements, with
major contributions made by Antoine-Laurent de
Lavoisier, Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, John
Newlands, Julius Lothar Meyer, Dmitri
Mendeleev, Glenn T. Seaborg, he periodic table is an
arrangement of the chemical elements, structured by
their atomic number, electron configuration and
recurring chemical properties. In the basic form,
elements are presented in order of increasing atomic
number, in the reading sequence. Then, rows and
columns are created by starting new rows and inderting
blank cells, so that rows (periods) and columns (groups) show elements with recurring properties
(called periodicity). For example, all elements in group (column) 18 are noble gases that hardly
have a chemical reaction.
