This question is about non-metals and compounds of non-metals. Describe two physical properties which are typical of non-metals.  Methane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Complete Fig.8.1 to show the dot-and-cross diagram for a molecule of methane. Show outer shell electrons only. C H H H H  Methane is an alkane. Write the general formula for alkanes. Methane is an air pollutant. State one source of methane in the air. State one adverse effect of methane in the air. Carbon particulates and water are two of the products of the incomplete combustion of methane. Name one other compound formed during the incomplete combustion of methane. Sulfurdioxide is an air pollutant which contributes to acid rain. Choose from the list the pH value that is acidic. Draw a circle around your chosen answer. pH 4 pH 7 pH 9 pH 13 State two methods of reducing acid rain.  Sulfur dioxide gas turns aqueous acidified potassium manganate(from purple to colourless. Fig.8.2 shows a gas jar of sulfurdioxide separated from a gas jar of air by a glass plate. A piece of filter paper soaked in aqueous acidified potassiummanganate(is glued to the top of the gas jar of air. glass plate present filter paper soaked in aqueous acidified potassium manganate(a short time after the glass plate is removed air sulfur dioxide glass plate The glass plate is removed. At first, the filter paper remains purple. After a short time, the filter paper turns colourless. Explain these results in terms of the kinetic particle theory.
