KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN STUDY MATERIAL OF SCIENCE CLASS :-X

Moderated at ZIET,Chandigarh

PREFACE
In the ACs conference held in July, 2010 at KVS (HQ), New Delhi, issue of Study Material for Board classes was discussed at length and finally decided to provide it to students. Various Regional Offices were asked to prepare the study material in different subjects while the task of its correction and moderation was assigned to various ZIETs of KVS. KVS, ZIET, Chandigarh received study material in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology &Maths for XII, Maths and Science &Tech. for X class, from various Regional Offices. The study material was got reviewed and suitably modified by organising workshops of experienced and competent subject teachers with the co-operation and guidance of AC,KVS,RO,CHD. Corrected study material was sent to all regional offices for providing it to students and also uploaded on the Website WWW.zietchandigarh.org. Subject teachers, both at the preparation and moderation levels have done a remarkable job by preparing a comprehensive study material of multiple utility .It has been carefully designed and prepared so as to promote better learning and encourage creativity in students through their increased self efforts for solving assignments of different difficulty level. But the teachers and the students must bear in mind that the purpose of the study material is in no way to replace the text-book, but to make it a complete set by supplementing it with this study material so that it may provide requisite and adequate material for use in different ways. The study material can be effectively used in the following ways: Practice material to supplement questions given in the textbook. Material for Study Camps: The purpose of conducting study camps is to

inculcate study habits amongst students under active supervision of the teachers. These camps can beorganised within the normal school hours and days. Day wise target will be ascertained and given to the students and reviewed by the concerned subject teacher. If the target is not achieved by any student, it will be added to the next days target. Master Cards: The teachers can help students prepare master cards by taking

the important questions/topics/points/concepts /reactions/terms etc from this study material for the quick revision for the examination. Crash Revision Courses: The material can also be used for preparing handouts for conducting Crash Revision Courses under the supervised guidance of the

teachers just before or in the gaps between papers during examination. Effectiveness of the study material will ultimately depend upon its regular and judicious use for the above listed purposes both by teachers and students. While attempting the source material, it would be quite useful to mark every time a question done successfully with a tick out ( ) and a question not done successfully with a dot ( ). It can be later used as a source of feedback for error analysis and for effective subsequent revisions/remedial work etc. I am sure that this well prepared study material if used sincerely and judiciously will surely bring cheers to all sections of students.

I, also, take this opportunity to extend my most sincere gratitude to our Honble, Commissioner KVS (HQ), New Delhi, and other higher authorities of KVS for providing this opportunity for making some useful contribution to the study material. I also extend my thanks to all the Assistant Commissioners of various Regions for their in-valuable contribution in preparation of the Study Material in various subjects. Above all, sincere and dedicated efforts of the subject teachers in preparation of this study material deserve full appreciation. Teachers observations, suggestions and critical analysis for further improvement of the study material mailed to kvszietchd @gmail.com, will be highly appreciated. With best wishes to all users of this STUDY MATERIAL.

Identification of triads, octaves etc. Position of isotopes. Gradation in properties in groups and periods.

KEY CONCEPTS 1. Needs to classify the elements:Before 18th century only a few elements are known so it was guite easy to study and remember the properties of elements individually. At present about 118 elements are known, it become impossible to study and remember the properties of each element. So chemist felt to necessity to group element of similar property, If the properties of one of them known then properties of other element can be easily predicted.

2. Earlier attempts to classify elements:(a) Dobereiners Triads:- A few triads proposed by him
1. Li (7), Na (23), K (39) At. Mass of Na=7+39=23 2 2. Cl (35.5), Br (80), I (127) But this classification was rejected because only few elements could be classified into triad, although one point is clear the properties of element have related to atomic mass.

(b) Newlands law of Octaves:10

In 1866 john Newland proposed the law of octave which is stated as Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass. Then every eighth element has similar properties to the first 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Li Be B C N O F 7 9 11 12 14 16 19 Na Mg Al Si P S Cl

23 24 27 28 (c) Mendeleevs periodic law:-

35.5

Mendeleevs periodic table manly based on two fact(i)Atomic mass (ii)Similarity of chemical properties On this he stated a law as The physical and chemical properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic mass.

(d) Modern Periodic Law:In 1913 Moseleys found that frequency of X-ray emitted by different elements is directly proportional to atomic number. These studies show that property of element depend upon atomic number but not atomic mass. The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic function of their atomic number. Modern periodic table:It is also called Moseley periodic table or long form of periodic table. In this table elements have been arranged in order of increasing atomic number. This table also consist of vertical rows called group and horizontal rows called periods which are discussed as: (i) There are 18 groups designated as 1 to 18. (ii)All the elements in a group have same No. of electron in outermost shell. (iii)The elements of each group have similar chemical properties due to same valence electron . (iv)There are in all seven periods. (v)First three periods with 2,8,8 element called short periods. The next three periods with 18,18,32 element called long period which seventh period is an incomplete period. (vi)The number of elements in these periods based on filling of electron into various shell on the formula 2n2 (n-number of shell) For Ex:-K-shell (n=1)-2.12=2 so first period has two elements L-shell (n=2)-2.22=8. So 2nd period has eight elements. M-shell(n=3)-2.32=18, but the outer most shell can have only 8-electron so third period also has eight element. Advantages of long form of periodic table:1.The position of the element are linked with their electronic configuration. 2.One position of isotopes of an element justified since they have same atomic number. 3.Similar properties of element in a group is also justified due to same valence electron. 4.Each group is an independent groups and idea of sub-groups discarded. Defects in long form of periodic table :(i)Position of hydrogen. (ii)Lanthanides and actinides should have been accommodated in main body of periodic table but these have been placed separately at the bottom. 3. Trends in the Modern Periodic Table 11

Different methods

KEY CONCEPTS: Reproduction : It is the process by which organisms produce new organisms of its own kind. Importance of reproduction : i)It involves transmission of genetic material from generation to generation ,& ensures the survival of the species. ii)It introduces variations & accumulation of variations over a period leads to evolution. Basic event in the process of reproduction:- Creation of a DNA copy Types of reproduction

14

Asexual Reproduction : Basic features i)Only one parent organism is involved. ii)New organisms are genetically identical to the parent(clones) iii)No gamete formation iv) Cell division involved mitotic v) Difference between Binary fission & Multiple fission. (consult text book page- 129130) vi) Differences between fission & budding. Page- 129, 131. vii) Differences between fission & fragmentation. (consult text book). Page- 129-130 15

Advantages of asexual reproduction i) Genetically identical off springs are formed by this method ii) It is a rapid method of multiplication.
iii) Production of virus free plants

Disadvantages of asexual reproduction i) No genetic variation ii) As large number of offsprings are produced it may result in overcrowding .
iii) Micropropagation :It is a method of plant propagation in which an isolated plant part is grown in a nutrient medium under aseptic condition. Advantages of micropropagation Rapid method of multiplication.

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION: i) It involves two parents. ii) Each parent produces sex cells (gametes) iii) Male gametes- Spermatozoa; female gametes- ova (eggs) iv) Gametes are formed by meiotic division ,hence they are haploid. v) The male & female gametes fused to form a diploid zygote - fertilisation vi) The zygote undergoes repeated mitotic division & form the embryo. vii) The embryo differentiates to form a full organism. viii) The offsprings formed are genetically different from the parents. Events of sexual reproduction

New individual(2n)
Asexual reproduction 1. Only one parent is involved. 2.Cell division- mitosis. 3.Offsprings resemble exactly with their Parents. 4.Variations absent. 5.Offsprings show less adaptability. 6.No gametes are produced. 7. Often results in rapid production of large number of offsprings. Sexual reproduction 1.Two parents are involved. 2.cell division meiosis. 3. Do not show exact resemblance. 4.Variations present. 5.

Page 195, 91 , 96 Key Concepts

1. The human eye is like a camera. Its lens system forms an image on a light sensitive screen called the retina. 2. The eye ball is approx. spherical in shape with a diameter of 2.3cm. 3. The human eye has the following parts:(a) Cornea:-The transparent spherical membrane covering the front of the eye. (b) Iris:-The coloured diaphragm between the cornea and lens. (c) Pupil:-The small hole in the iris. (d) Eye lens:-Its is a transparent lens made of jelly like material. (e) Ciliary muscles:-These muscles hold the lens in position. (f) Retina:-The back surface of the eye. (g) Blind spot:-The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye. An image formed at this point is not sent to the brain. (h) Aqueous humour:-A clear liquid region between the cornea and the lens. (i) Vitreous humour:-The space between eye lens and retina is is filled with another liquid called Vitreous humour. 4. In the eye, the image is formed on the retina by successive refraction at the cornea, the aqueous humuor, the lens and the vitreous humuor. Electrical signals then travel along the optic nerve to the brain to be interpreted. In good light, the yellow spot is most sensitive to detail and the image automatically formed there. 5. Accommodation:-The ability of the eye to focus both near and distant objects, by adjusting the focal length, is called the accommodation of the eye or the ability of the ciliary muscles to change the focal length of the eye lens is called accommodation. 6. Defects of the eye:- Although the eye is one of the most remarkable organs in the body, it may have several abnormalities, which can often be corrected with eye glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. The various defects from which an eye can suffer are (i) Hypermetropia or long sightedness. (ii) Myopia or short sightedness and (iii) Astigmatism. (iv) Presbyopia. 7. Hypermetropia, hyperopia or long sightedness:-A person suffering from this defect can see distant objects clearly but cannot see nearby objects clearly. In this defect, the near point lies further away from 25cm.Hypermetropia (far sightedness- the image of nearby objects is focused beyond the retina) is corrected by using a convex lens of suitable power. The eye losses its power of accommodation at old age. 8. Hypermetropia is due to the following reasons:(i) Either the hyperopic eye ball is too short or (ii) The ciliary muscle is unable to change the shape of the lens enough to properly focus the image that is the focal length of the eye lens increases. 9. Myopia or short sightedness or near sightedness:-A person suffering from myopia or short sightedness can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see the faraway objects clearly. Myopia (shortsightedness-the image of distant objects is focused before the retina) is corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power.

10. Presbyopia is the defect of human eye due to which an old person cannot read and write comfortably. That is why presbyopia is also called old sight. 11. As our two eyes are separated by a few centimeters, each eye observes a slightly different image. Our brain combines the two views into one and we get to know how close or far away the things seen are. 12. The smallest distance, at which the eye can see objects clearly without strain, is called the near point of the eye or the least distance distinct vision. For a young adult with normal vision, it is about 25cm. 13. The distance between far point and near point of the eye is called range of vision of the eye. 14. Spectrum is a band of distinct colours we obtain when white light is split by a prism. 15. Causes of dispersion:-Every colour has its own characteristic wave length or frequency. Different colours move with same speed in air/vacuum. But their speeds in refracting media like glass are different. Therefore, refractive index of the medium for different colours is different. As a result, different colours undergo different deviations on passing through the prism. Hence, different colours emerge from the prism along different directions. 16.In any medium other than air/vacuum red light travels the fastest and violet light travels the slowest. 17. When we pass white light through two identical prisms held side by side with their refracting edges in opposite direction; the first prism disperses white light into seven colours and the second prism recombines the seven colours into white light. Thus light emerging from second prism is white. 18. A rainbow is formed due to dispersion of light by tiny droplets of water which act as prisms. 19. Scattering of light causes the blue colour of the sky and the reddening of the sun at sunrise and sunset.

Key Concepts:
Ganga Action Plan: The multi crore Ganga action plan was launched in 1985 because the quality of water in Ganga was very poor. Reduce recycle and reuse: These are the three mantras we can use to save our environment. Preservation of resources we should make environment friendly decision. Sustainable development: we should be ready to change our strategies to use our natural resources. The resources should be used carefully because these are not unlimited. Exploitation of natural resources: We cause damage to environment while exploiting natural resources. e.g. mining Stakeholders to the forests : o People who are dependent on forests produce. o Forest department of government. o Industrialist who get raw material from forest. Amrita Devis Bisnois sacrifice - Amrita Devis Bisnoi sacrificed her life in 1731 along with 363 others for the protection of trees in Khejrali village Rajasthan. Chipko Andolan (Hug the tree movement) This movement was started to end the alienation of people from their forests. Kulh Irrigation method: Over four hundred years ago, parts of Himachal Pradesh evolved a local system of canal Irrigation called kulhs. Water harvesting: Watershed management puts emphasis on scientific soil and water conservation. Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels coal and petroleum are important sources of energy. They contain hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. On burning they produce oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. These are poison gases and cause pollution. Control on consumption of energy. o Taking bus in place of personal vehicle. o Using CFL in place of bulb. o Wearing extra sweater in place of using heater. 1 MARKS QUESTIONS 1. air What will be the effect of increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere on the average temperature of the earth? 2.
