Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.
Bohr's model of the molecule
(1) Atoms have a nucleus in the middle.
(2) Electrons rotate around the nucleus.
(3) Certain exceptional circles known as discrete circles of electrons are permitted inside the molecule.
(4) While rotating in discrete circles the electrons don't transmit energy.
(5) These circles or shells are called energy levels.
(6) These circles or shells are represented by the letters K, L, M, N or the numbers n = 1, 2, 3, 4
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.
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.
Na+ has completely filled K and L shells. Explain.
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?
Who discovered cells, and how?
How does the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer?
What are polyatomic ions? Give examples.
What does a neuron look like?
When will you say a body is in
(i) uniform acceleration? (ii) non-uniform acceleration?
Identify the solutions among the following mixtures.
(a) Soil
(b) Sea water
(c) Air
(d) Coal
(e) Soda water.
Why is ice at 273 K more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature?
Under which of the following conditions are you most likely to fall sick?
(a) when you are taking examinations.
(b) when you have travelled by bus and train for two days.
(c) when your friend is suffering from measles.
Why?
Which of the following materials fall in the category of a “pure substance”?
(a) Ice
(b) Milk

(i) Air.
An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no, provide a reason.
Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures with examples.
