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.

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?

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?

Diagrammatically show the difference between the three types of muscle fibres.

Do you know of any activity which may be polluting this water source?

Explain how defects in a metal block can be detected using ultrasound.

If action is always equal to the reaction, explain how a horse can pull a cart.

Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h?

A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions from the source?

What causes winds?

Why are sound waves called mechanical waves?

A stone is dropped from the top of a tower 500 m high into a pond of water at the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top? Given, g = 10 m s^-2 and speed of sound = 340 m s^-1.

An object thrown at a certain angle to the ground moves in a curved path and falls back to the ground. The initial and the final points of the path of the object lie on the same horizontal line. What is the work done by the force of gravity on the object?
