With the help of Table 4.1, find out the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.

For the symbol H,D and T tabulate three sub-atomic particles found in each of them.

Explain with examples (i) Atomic number, (ii) Mass number, (iii) Isotopes and iv) Isobars. Give any two uses of isotopes.

Define valency by taking examples of silicon and oxygen.

The average atomic mass of a sample of an element X is 16.2 u. What are the percentages of isotopes ¹⁶₈ X and ¹⁸₈ X in the sample?

Draw a sketch of Bohr’s model of an atom with three shells.

Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.

Na⁺ has completely filled K and L shells. Explain.

Write the electronic configuration of any one pair of isotopes and isobars.

Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?

State the universal law of gravitation.

Which of the following are matter?

Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

What is meant by a pure substance?

How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

State any two conditions essential for good health.

How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?

Who discovered cells, and how?

Give reason for the following observations.

(a) Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid.
(b) We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away.

Name two biologically important compounds that contain both oxygen and nitrogen.

What management practices are common in dairy and poultry farming?

What is immunisation?

Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously. But thunder is heard a few seconds after the flash is seen, why?

Amit buys few grams of gold at the poles as per the instruction of one of his friends. He hands over the same when he meets him at the equator. Will the friend agree with the weight of gold bought? If not, why? [Hint: The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator.]

What is the audible range of the average human ear?

What are the various energy transformations that occur when you are riding a bicycle?

Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.
