Name the three sub-atomic particles of an atom.
Three sub-atomic particles of an atom:
(i) Proton :- Positively charged
(ii) Electron :- Negatively charged
(iii) Neautron :- neutral
If number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then (i) what is the atomic number of the atom? and (ii) what is the charge on the atom?
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.
Na+ has completely filled K and L shells. Explain.
Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.
Draw a sketch of Bohr’s model of an atom with three shells.
Write the electronic configuration of any one pair of isotopes and isobars.
Compare all the proposed models of an atom given in this chapter.
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?

Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously. But thunder is heard a few seconds after the flash is seen, why?
Are the answers to the above questions necessarily the same or different? Why?
Define the term “tissue”.
Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051 g of aluminium oxide.
(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al = 27 u)
Which characteristic of the sound helps you to identify your friend by his voice while sitting with others in a dark room?
Two objects, each of mass 1.5 kg, are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The velocity of each object is 2.5 m s-1 before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?
