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.

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?

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?

What happens to the force between two objects, if
(i) the mass of one object is doubled?
(ii) the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
(iii) the masses of both objects are doubled?

How do you differentiate between capture fishing, mariculture and aquaculture?

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and a 1 kg object on its surface? (Mass of the earth is 6 × 10²⁴ kg and radius of the earth is 6.4 × 10⁶ m.)

What are polyatomic ions? Give examples.

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.

Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?

An electric heater is rated 1500 W. How much energy does it use in 10 hours?
