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

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

Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.

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?

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?

Calculate the number of molecules of sulphur (S8) present in 16 g of solid sulphur.

What is the quantity which is measured by the area occupied below the velocity-time graph?

What does the path of an object look like when it is in uniform motion?

State which of the following situations are possible and give an example for each of these:

(a) an object with a constant acceleration but with zero velocity
(b) an object moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in the perpendicular direction.

A large truck and a car, both moving with a velocity of magnitude v, have a head-on collision and both of them come to a halt after that. If the collision lasts for 1 s:
(a) Which vehicle experiences the greater force of impact?
(b) Which vehicle experiences the greater change in momentum?
(c) Which vehicle experiences the greater acceleration?
(d) Why is the car likely to suffer more damage than the truck?

A stone is allowed to fall from the top of a tower 100 m high and at the same time another stone is projected vertically upwards from the ground with a velocity of 25 m/s. Calculate when and where the two stones will meet.

Conduct a survey in your neighbourhood to find out what the three most common diseases are. Suggest three steps that could be taken by your local authorities to bring down the incidence of these diseases.
