Chapter-3 Atoms and Molecules

Q1. Read the following and answer the questions from (a) to (d) given below:
Compounds composed of metals and non metals contain charged species. The charged species
are known as ions. Ions may consist of a single charged atom or group of atoms that have a net
charge on them. An ion can be negatively or positively charged.
(a) Give one example each of an anion and cation.
(b) What is a polyatomic ion?
(c) Find the formula unit mass of NaCl.
(d) Give one example of polyatomic ion.
Q2. Write any four postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory.
Q3. Write the chemical formulae for the following:
(a) Calcium oxide
(b) Sodium nitrate
Q4. Find which would weigh more: 2 mole of calcium carbonate or 10 mole of water.
Q5. State three points of differences between anion and cation.
Q6. What is the number of water molecules contained in a drop of water weighing 0.06 gram?
Chapter-4 Structure of the Atom
The distribution of electrons in different orbits or shells is governed by a scheme known as
Bohr-Bury scheme. According to this, the maximum number of electrons that can be present in
any shell is given by the formula 2n² and the maximum number of electrons that can be
accommodated in the outermost shell is 8.
(a) What is the maximum electron capacity of N-shell?
(b) Arrange the K, L, M, N shells in increasing order of their energy.
(c) Which element has the configuration 2, 8, 5?
(d) What is the electronic configuration of calcium?
Q2. Why noble gases show least reactivity?
Q3. Describe postulates proposed by Bohr’s model of an atom.
Q4. What are isotopes? Write two applications of isotopes.
Q5. What is the similarity in the electronic structure of lithium, sodium and potassium?
Q6. Calculate the atomic number of the element whose atomic nucleus has mass number of 23 and
neutron number 12. What is the symbol for this element?
Chapter-10 Gravitation
The universe has many forces that include our daily pushes and pulls. We are always pushing or
pulling something, even if we stand still on the ground. The gravitational force is a force that
attracts any two objects which has some mass.

(a) When do you use the term force of gravity rather than force of gravitation?
(b) Two objects kept in a room do not move towards each other as per the universal law of
gravitation. Why?
(c) The earth is acted upon by gravitation of the sun even, then it does not fall into the sun.
Why?
(d) Which force brings tides in the ocean?
Q2. When a cricket ball is thrown vertically upwards, it reaches a maximum height of 5 m.
(a) What was the initial speed of the ball?
(b) How much time is taken by the ball to reach the highest point? (g=10 ms-2)
Q3. From a cliff of 49 m high, a man drops a stone. One second later, he throws another stone. They
both hit the ground at the same time. Find out the speed with which he threw the second stone.
Q4. How does the force of gravitation between two objects change, when distance between them is
reduced to half?
Q5. What is the importance of universal law of gravitation?
Q6. A stone is released from the top of a tower of height 19.6m.Calculate its final velocity just before
touching the ground.
Chapter-11 Work and Energy
In a spring, the potential energy will increase if it gets compressed or stretched. A steel ball has
more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth. In the raised
position it is capable of doing more work.
(a) When is an object said to possess energy?
(b) Does the work done by the gravity depend on the path covered by object?
(c) Name the type of energy possessed by the water stored in a dam.
(d) If an engine supplies 100J of energy to a mass of 200g, how high it can be lifted?
Q2. Give two illustrations for the principle of transformation of energy.
Q3. Two bodies A and B of equal masses are kept at heights of h and 2h respectively. What will be
the ratio of their potential energies?
Q4. On a level road, a bike rider applies brakes to slow down from a speed of 10 m/s to 5 m/s. If the
mass of the bike rider and the bike be 150kg, calculate the work done by the brakes.
Q5. What happens to the kinetic energy when :
(a) the mass of the body is doubled at constant velocity?
(b) the velocity of the body is doubled at constant mass?
(c) the mass of the body is doubled but the velocity is reduced to half?
Q6. (a) What is the commercial unit of energy? Give its relationship with SI unit of energy.
(b) An electric bulb of 60 W is lighted for 10 hours everyday. How many units of electrical
energy is consumed by this bulb in one day?
Chapter-13 Why do we fall ill?
Infectious diseases can spread from an infected person to a healthy person by various ways.
These diseases spread through various modes like air, water, sexual contact, vectors etc. The
practices adopted for prevention of diseases are somewhat related to environment.
(a) Name two air borne diseases.
(b) In which case ORS is given?
Page 2 of 3
(c) Name one disease which can spread through breast feeding.
(d) Define non infectious diseases.
Q2. Write Five ‘F’s of prevention of transmission of diseases by maintaining sanitation and hygiene.
Q3. Give two examples for each of the following:
(a) acute diseases (b) chronic diseases (c) infectious diseases (d) non-infectious diseases
Q4. Why is AIDS considered to be a ‘syndrome’ and not a disease?
Q5. Name any two groups of micro-organisms from which antibiotics could be extracted.
Q6. Public cleanliness is considered more important for individual’s health. Do you agree? Give
reasons.
