Metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g., iron, gold, silver, copper, and aluminum, and alloys such as brass and steel).
The physical properties of metal are:
1. They are good conductor of heat and electricity.
2. They have high specific gravity.
3. They have high melting and boiling point.
4. They are malleable and ductile in nature.
5. They have metallic luster.
Iron is called metal because it shows metallic property.
Chemical properties of metal are:
Metals like zinc, iron reacts with sulphuric acids to produce the hydrogen gas.
Fe + dil. H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2
Some metals Mg, Ca combine with oxygen to produce oxides

Hydrocarbons and their derivatives
Hydrocarbons are the chemical compounds made by the composition of hydrogen and carbon. Example: Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), Propene (C3H6), acetylene (C2H2) etc.
There are two types of hydro carbons. They are:
1. Saturated Hydrocarbons
2. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
The hydrocarbons with single bonded carbon atoms are known as saturated hydrocarbons.
It consists of only one group i.e. alkane group.
Example: Methane, Ethane, etc.
The hydrocarbons with double bonded or triple bonded carbon atoms are known as unsaturated hydrocarbons.
It consists of alkene and alkyne group.
Example: Propene, Propyne, etc.
An alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by a double bond. The double bond is formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons. For eg: Methane, Propane etc
Alkynes are an unsaturated hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by a triple bond. The triple bond is formed by the sharing of three pairs of electrons. For Eg: Acetylene, Methyl acetylene etc.
Homologous series is defined as a group of organic compounds having similar structures and chemical properties in which the successive compounds differ by CH2 group.
The characteristics of homologous series are:
1. All the members of the same series can be represented by the same formula.
2. All members of the series show similar chemical properties.
3. Each excessive member of a homologous series differs by CH2.
4. All the members of the same series have the same functional group like alcohol (-OH), ether (-O-) etc.
Example. C2H6,C3H8
Functional group is defined as an atom of group of atoms which determines the chemical behavior of organic compounds.
The hydrocarbon unit derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from alkane is called alkyl group.
