If Z = 3, what would be the valency of the element? Also, name the element.
Z (atomic no.)= 3
∴ Electronic configuration = 2, 1
Valency = 1
Name of the element is lithium.
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?
For the symbol H,D and T tabulate three sub-atomic particles found in each of them.
With the help of Table 4.1, find out the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.
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?
Who discovered cells, and how?
Why is sound wave called a longitudinal wave?
Why is it difficult to hold a school bag having a strap made of a thin and strong string?
What are the advantages of inter-cropping and crop rotation?
Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does the bob eventually come to rest? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of the law of conservation of energy?
Under what condition(s) is the magnitude of average velocity of an object equal to its average speed?
Does sound follow the same laws of reflection as light does? Explain.
A stone of 1 kg is thrown with a velocity of 20 m s-1 across the frozen surface of a lake and comes to rest after travelling a distance of 50 m. What is the force of friction between the stone and the ice?
Distinguish between speed and velocity.
Draw a labelled diagram of a neuron.
Give reasons
(a) A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
(b) A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container.
(c) A wooden table should be called a solid.
(d) We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert.
