CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND EQUATIONS
GIST OF THE LESSON

1) Chemical reaction— Chemical changes or chemical reactions are the changes in
which one or more new substances are formed.
2 )Chemical Equations – Representation of a chemical reaction in terms of symbols and
formulae of the reactants and products is known as chemical equation.
3) Balanced Chemical equations – The chemical equation in which the no. of atoms of different
elements is same on both sides of the arrow is called balanced chemical equation.
4) The chemical reactions can be classified into different types such as—
a) Combination reaction – The reactions in which two or more substances combine to form a
new substance are called combination reaction. For example,
2Mg(s) + O2 (g) Æ 2 MgO (s)

b) Decomposition reaction - The reaction in which a single compound breaks up into two or
more simpler substances are called decomposition reactions. For example,
om
.c
2Pb (NO3)2 (s) Æ 2PbO (s) + 4NO2 (g) +O2 (g)
y
The decomposition of a substance by passing electric current through it is known as
electrolysis.
da
The decomposition of a substance on heating is known as thermal decomposition.
t o
The decomposition of a substance by absorbing light energy is called photochemical
decomposition.
ies
c) Displacement reactions -The chemical reactions in which a more reactive element
u d
displaces a less reactive element from a compound are known as displacement reactions. For
example,
. s t
i)
w w
Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) Æ ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s).
ii)
w
Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) Æ Cu (NO3)2 (aq) +2Ag (s).
d) Double Displacement Reactions - The chemical reactions in which compounds react to

form two different compounds by mutual exchange of ions are called double displacement
reactions.
These reactions take place in solution two common types of this reaction are precipitation
reactions and neutralization reactions
i) Precipitation reaction : In this reactions, aqueous solution of two salts are mixed whereby
Some salts precipitate due to mutual exchange of ions between the two salts. For example
AgNO3 (aq) + NaCI (aq) -----> AgCl(s) + NaNO3.
ii) Neutralization reaction: In this type of reaction an acid reacts with a base to form salt
and water by exchange of ions.
NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) Æ NaCl (aq) + H2O.

e) Redox reaction: Chemical reaction which shows both oxidation and reduction reaction.
Oxidation: Reaction that involves the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
Reduction: Reaction that shows the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
Both oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously and hence called redox reaction.
ZnO + C Æ Zn + CO
ZnO reduce to Zn ---- reduction
C oxidize to CO ------oxidation
f) Exothermic reaction and endothermic reaction: On the basis of energy changes during chemical
reaction, they can be classified as
i) Exothermic reaction: A chemical reaction in which heat energy is produced.
C + O2 Æ CO2 (g) + heat

ii) Endothermic reaction: A chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed.
CaCO3 + Heat Æ CaO + CO2

5 Corrosion – The process of slow conversion of metals into their undesirable compounds due to
y
a
their reaction with oxygen, water, acids, gases etc. present in the atmosphere is called corrosion.
d
Rusting – Iron when reacts with oxygen and moisture forms red substance called rust.
t o
s
6 Rancidity – The taste and odour of food materials containing fat and oil changes when they are
ie
left exposed to air for long time. This is called rancidity. It is caused due to oxidation of fat and oil
present in food material.
u d
t
It can be prevented by using various methods such as by adding antioxidants to the food materials,
. s
Storing food in air tight container and by flushing out air with nitrogen.

KEY CONCEPTS & GIST OF THE LESSON

Life processes – The processes that are necessary for an organism to stay alive. Eg. Nutrition,
respiration, etc.
Criteria of life- (i) Growth (ii) Movement
Nutrition- The process in which an organism takes in food, utilizes it to get energy, for growth,
repair and maintenance, etc. and excretes the waste materials from the body.
Types of nutrition
1. Autotrophic nutrition (Auto =self: trophos = nourishment) E.g. Plants, Algae, blue green
bacteria.
o Process – Photosynthesis(Photo=light; Synthesis= to combine)
o Raw materials- (i) Carbon dioxide (ii)Water
o Equation- sunlight
o 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Chlorophyll
o Energy conversion- Light/Solar energy to Chemical energy
o Role off Chlorophyll- To trap the sun’s energy for photosynthesis
o Factors- (i) Carbon dioxide (ii) Water(iii) Light (iv) Temperature

(b) Parasitic nutrition: Organisms obtain food from the body of another living (host)
o Endoparasite : Parasite lives inside the body of the host e.g. tapeworm, roundworm.
o Exoparasite : Parasite lives on the body of the host. E.g. lice, leech.
Note- The parasite benefits while the host is usually harmed e.g. Cuscutta-plant parasite (amar bel),
plasmodium (malarial parasite).
(c) Holozoic nutrition: Organism (mostly animals) take in whole food and then digest it into smaller
particles with enzyme. Eg. Amoeba, Paramoecium. Animals, human beings.
o Steps in Holozoic nutrition
(i) Ingestion: taking in of food.
(ii) Digestion: breaking down of complex food into simpler, absorbable form.

. s
w
Process – Diffusion
w
Direction of diffusion depends on- (i) Environmental conditions
w
(ii) Requirement of the plant.
Day time- Carbon dioxide given out during respiration is used for photosynthesis.
Therefore only Oxygen is released, which is a major activity during the day.
Night time – Only respiration takes place. Therefore only Carbon dioxide is released,
which is a major activity during the night.
o Gaseous exchange in animals-

Terrestrial animals- take Oxygen from the atmosphere.
Aquatic animals- take Oxygen dissolved in water. (Oxygen content is low in water,
therefore they breathe faster.
o Human Respiratory system-
External nostrils → Nasal cavity → Trachea→ Bronchi → Bronchioles →Alveoli
Rings of cartilage present in the throat ensure that the trachea (air passage) does not
collapse when there is less air in it.
Lungs – (i) Present in the thoracic cavity.
(ii) They are spongy, elastic bags consisting of Bronchi,
Bronchioles and Alveoli

(ii) Respiratory pigments also required.
(iii) Respiratory pigment in human beings is Haemoglobin,
which is present in red blood corpuscles.
(iv) It has very high affinity for Oxygen.
(iv) Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than Oxygen, so it
Gets dissolves in blood and is thus transported.
Transportation

Blood- (i) It is a fluid connective tissue.
(ii) Components- (1) Fluid medium- Plasma
(2) Red blood corpuscles
om
(3) White blood corpuscles
(4) Platelets suspended in plasma

5. Valves absent. 5. Valves present
Heart- (Refer to figure 6.10 page no. 106 of N.C.E.R.T Text book)
(i) It is a muscular organ, which works as a pump in the circulatory system.
(ii) It is the size of our fist.
(iii) It has two sides, which are separated by a partition so that the oxygenated and
deoxygenated blood do not get mixed up.
(iv) It has four chambers-
Two upper chambers called Atria.
Two lower chambers called Ventricles.
Working of heart-
Left side- (i) Left atrium relaxes & the Oxygenated blood enters it from
the lungs through the pulmonary vein.
(ii) Left atrium contracts & the blood enters the left ventricle
through the valve.
(iii) Left Ventricle contracts and the blood is pumped into the
largest artery ‘Aorta’ and is carried to all parts of the body.
35

Right side- (i) Right atrium relaxes & the deoxygenated blood from the body enters it
through superior and inferior Vena cava.
(ii) Right atrium contracts & the blood enters the right Ventricle through
the valve.
(iii) Right Ventricle contracts and the blood is pumped into the Pulmonary
artery and is carried to lungs.
Valves- Unidirectional to prevent the backward flow of blood.
Pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries Oxygenated blood.
Aorta is the only artery that carries Deoxygenated blood.
Double circulation in man- because the blood passes through the heart twice in one
complete cycle of the circulation.
Capillaries- (i) Form the connection between arteries & veins.
(ii) Walls are one cell thick only for easy exchange of
blood.

t o
This is to fulfil higher energy needs and to maintain body temperature
s
(warm blooded animals).
ie
Amphibians & reptiles- have 3 chambered heat where little mixing of Oxygenated
d
blood & Deoxygenated blood takes place. Therefore their body temperature varies with
u
t
the temperature of the environment. (cold blooded animals)
.
o Transportation in plants-
s
w
Plants need less energy needs- because they do not move and therefore have a slow
w
transport system
w
Transport of water-
(i) Takes place by xylem tissue present in roots, stem, leaves and is
therefore interconnected.
(ii) Root cells take up ions from the soil, which creates a concentration
difference between root and soil. Column of water therefore rises
upwards.
In very tall plants- transpiration creates a suction pressure, which pulls the water
upwards.
Importance of transpiration-
(i) Helps in upward movement of water in plants.
(ii) It regulates the temperature in plants.
Transport of food-
(i) Takes place by phloem tissue.
(ii) Movement of prepared food in plants is called translocation.
Excretion- The biological process of removal of harmful metabolic wastes in living
organisms.

Q1. Why is it necessary to separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in mammals and birds?
Ans. The mammals and birds are warm-blooded animals which have high energy needs because they
constantly require energy to maintain their body temperature. It is necessary to separate oxygenated
blood and deoxygenated blood in mammals and birds because such a separation allows a highly
efficient supply of oxygen to the body cells which is required for producing a lot of energy needed by
them.
Q2. How is small intestine designed to absorb digested food?
Ans. The inner surface of small intestine has millions of tiny, finger like projections called Villi. The
presence of villi gives the inner walls of the small intestine a very large surface area. The large inner
surface area of small intestine helps in the rapid absorption of the digested food.

ELECTRICITY
GIST OF THE LESSON
1. Positive and negative charges: The charge acquired by a glass rod when rubbed with silk is
called positive charge and the charge acquired by an ebonite rod when rubbed with wool is
called negative charge.
2. Coulomb: It is the S.I. unit of charge. One coulomb is defined as that amount of charge which
repels an equal and similar charge with a force of 9 x 109 N when placed in vacuum at a
distance of 1 meter from it. Charge on an electron = -1.6 x 10-19
coulomb.
3. Static and current electricities: Static electricity deals with the electric charges at rest while
the current electricity deals with the electric charges in motion.
4. Conductor: A substance which allows passage of electric charges through it easily is called a
‘conductor’. A conductor offers very low resistance to the flow of current. For example copper,
silver, aluminium etc.
om
5. Insulator: A substance that has infinitely high resistance does not allow electric current to
y.c
flow through it. It is called an ‘insulator’. For example rubber, glass, plastic, ebonite etc.
da
6. Electric current: The flow of electric charges across a cross-section of a conductor constitutes
t o
an electric current. It is defined as the rate of flow of the electric charge through any section of
a conductor.
I = Q/t
ies Electric current = Charge/Time or
u d
Electric current is a scalar quantity.
. s t
7. Ampere: It is the S.I. unit of current. If one coulomb of charge flows through any section of a
w w
conductor in one second, then current through it is said to be one ampere.
1 ampere = 1 coulomb/1 second or 1 A = 1C/1s = 1Cs-1
w
1 milliampere = 1 mA = 10-3 A
1 microampere = 1µA = 10-6 A
8. Electric circuit: The closed path along which electric current flows is called an ‘electric
circuit’.
9. Conventional current: Conventionally, the direction of motion of positive charges is taken as

the direction of current. The direction of conventional current is opposite to that of the
negatively charged electrons.
10. Electric field: It is the region around a charged body within which its influence can be
experienced.
11. Electrostatic potential: Electrostatic potential at any point in an electric field is defined as the
amount of work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. Its unit is
54

volt. Positive charges move from higher to lower potential regions. Electrons, being negatively
charged, move from lower to higher potential regions.
12. Potential difference between two points: The Potential difference between two points in an
electric field is the amount of work done in bringing a unit positive charge from one to another.
Potential difference = Work done/Charge or V = W/Q
13. One volt potential difference: The Potential difference between two points in an electric field
is said to one volt if one joule of work has to be done in bringing a positive charge of one
coulomb from one point to another. 1 volt = 1 joule/1
coulomb or 1 V = 1J/1C
14. Galvanometer: It is device to detect current in an electric circuit.
15. Ammeter: It is device to measure current in a circuit. It is always connected in series in a

circuit.
16. Voltmeter: It is a device to measure potential difference. It is always connected in parallel to
om
the component across which the potential difference is to be measured.
y.c
17. Ohm’s law: This law states that the current passing through a conductor is directly
a
proportional to the potential difference cross its ends, provided the physical conditions like
d
o
temperature, density etc. remains unchanged.
s t
V α I or V = RI
ie
The proportionality constant R is called resistance of conductor.
u d
t
18. Resistance: It is a property of a conductor by virtue of which it opposes the flow of current
. s
through it. It is equal to the ratio of the potential difference applied across its ends and the
w
current flowing through it.
w w Resistance = Potential difference/Current or R = V/I
19. Ohm: It is the S.I. unit of resistance. A conductor has a resistance of one ohm if a current of
one ampere flows through it on applying a potential difference of one volt across its ends.
1 ohm = 1 volt/1 ampere or 1Ω = 1V/1A
20. Factors on which resistance of a conductor depends: The resistance R of a conductor

depends
i) Directly on its length L i.e. R α L.

ii) inversely on its area of cross-section A i.e. R α 1/A
iii) on the nature of material of the conductor on.
On combining the above factors, we get
R α L/A
R = ρ * L/A The proportionality constant ρ is called resistivity of conductor.
55

21. Resistivity: It is defined as the resistance offered by a cube of a material of side 1 m when
current flows perpendicular to its opposite faces. Its S.I. unit is ohm-meter (Ωm).
Resistivity, ρ = RA/L
22. Equivalent resistance: If a single resistance can replace the combination of resistances in such
a manner that the current in the circuit remains unchanged, then that single resistance is called
the equivalent resistance.
23. Laws of resistances in series:

i) Current through each resistance is same.
ii) Total voltage across the combination = Sum of the voltage drops.
V= V1 + V2 + V3
iii) Voltage drops across any resistor is proportional to its resistance.
V1 = IR1, V2 = IR2, V3 = IR3
iv) Equivalent resistance = Sum of the individual resistances.
Rs = R1 + R2 + R3
m
v) Equivalent resistance is larger than the largest individual resistance.
24. Laws of resistances in parallel:

.c o

ii) Total current = Sum of the currents through the individual resistances.
I = I1 + I2 + I3

I1 = V/R1, I2 = V/R2, I3 = V/R3
d ie
iv) Reciprocal of equivalent resistance = Sum of reciprocals of individual resistances.
1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
t u

v) Equivalent resistance is less than the smallest individual resistance.
w w
25. Joule’s law of heating: It states that the heat produced in a conductor is directly proportional
w
to (i) the square of the current I through it (ii) proportional to its resistances R and
(iii) the time t for which current is passed. Mathematically, it can be expressed as
H = I2Rt joule = I2Rt/4.18 cal
or
H = VIt joule = VIt/4.18cal
26. Electric energy: It is the total work done in maintaining an electric current in an electric
circuit for given time.
Electric energy, W = VIt = I2Rt joule
27. Electrical power: Electrical power is the rate at which electric energy is consumed by an
appliance.
P = W/t = VI = I2R = V2/R
28. Watt: It is the S.I. unit of power. The power of an appliance is 1 watt if one ampere of current
flows through it on applying a potential differences of 1 volt across its ends.
56

1 watt = 1 joule/1 second =1 volt x 1 ampere

or 1 W = 1 Js-1 = 1 VA
1 kilowatt = 1000 W
29. Kilowatt hour: It is the commercial unit of electrical energy. One kilowatt hour is the electric
energy consumed by an appliance of 1000 watts when used for one hour.
1 kilowatt hour (kWh) = 3.6 x 106 J

Q.1. Why is the tungsten metal more coiled in the bulb and not installed in straight parallel wire
form?
Ans. The coiled wire of tungsten increases the surface area of the wire in very less space so as to
emit more light and helps in glowing with more intensity.
Q.2. Why are fairy decorative lights always connected in parallel?
Ans. When the fairy lights are connected in series the resistance offered will be greater and
brightness of the bulbs will be affected. But in parallel connection all the bulbs will glow with
same intensity and if any more bulbs gets fused the other bulbs will continue to glow.
Q.3. What will happen when -

a) Voltmeter is connected in series?
b) Ammeter is connected in parallel?

Magnetic field lines: Magnetic field is represented by field lines. They are lines drawn in a
Magnetic field along which a North magnetic pole moves. Magnetic field lines are called as
Magnetic lines of force.
Refer to figure 13.3 & 13.4 page no. 225 of N.C.E.R.T Text book)
Properties of Magnetic field lines:

(i)
om
They do not intersect each other.
.c
(ii) It is taken by convention that magnetic field lines emerge from
y
North pole and merge at the South pole. Inside the magnet, their
a
direction is from South pole to North pole. Therefore magnetic field
d
o
lines are closed curves.
t
Magnetic field lines due to a current through a straight conductor (wire)- consist of series of
s
ie
concentric circles whose direction is given by the Right hand thumb rule.
Right hand thumb rule: If a current carrying straight conductor is held in your right hand such
u d
that the thumb points towards the direction of current, then the wrapped fingers show the
. s t
direction of magnetic field lines.
(Refer to figure 13.7, page no. 228 of N.C.E.R.T Text book)
w w
Magnetic field lines due to a current through a circular loop
w
The strength of the magnetic field at he centre of the loop(coil)depends on:
(i) The radius of the coil- The strength of the magnetic field is inversely
proportional to the radius of the coil. If the radius increases, the
magnetic strength at the centre decreases.
(ii) The number of turns in the coil: As the number of turns in the coil
increase, the magnetic strength at the centre increases, because the
current in each circular turn is having the same direction, thus the
field due to each turn adds up.
(iii) The strength of the current flowing in the coil: as the strength of the
current increases, the strength of thee magnetic fields also increases.
Solenoid: (Refer to figure 13.10, page no. 229 of N.C.E.R.T Text book)
(i) A coil of many turns of insulated copper wire wrapped in the shape of a cylinder is called
a Solenoid.
(ii) Magnetic field produced by a Solenoid is similar to a bar magnet.
(iii) The strength of magnetic field is proportional to the number of turns & magnitude of
current.
63

Electromagnet: An electromagnet consists of a long coil of insulated copper wire wrapped on

a soft iron core.
Fleming’s Left hand rule: Stretch the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of left hand such
that they are mutually perpendicular. Forefinger points in the direction of magnetic field and
centre finger in the direction of current, then the thumb gives the direction of force acting on
the conductor.
(Refer to figure13.13, page no. 231 13.13 of N.C.E.R.T Text book)
Electric motor: A device that converts electric energy to mechanical energy.

Principle of Electric motor: When a rectangular coil is placed in a magnetic field and a
current is passed through it, force acts on the coil, which rotates it continuously. With the
rotation of the coil, the shaft attached to it also rotates.
Electromagnetic induction: Electricity production as a result of magnetism (induced current)

is called Electromagnetic induction.
om
.c
Fleming’s Right hand rule: gives the direction of induced current.
y
a
Stretch the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of right hand such that they are mutually
d
perpendicular. Forefinger points in the direction of magnetic field and centre finger in the
t o
direction of induced current, then the thumb gives the direction of motion of the conductor.

Domestic electric circuits: (Refer to figure 13.20, page 238 of N.C.E.R.T Text book)
We receive electric supply through mains supported through the poles or cables. In our houses
we receive AC electric power of 220V with a frequency of 50Hz.
The 3 wires are as follows- (i) Live wire- (Red insulated, Positive)
(ii) Neutral wire- (Black insulated, Negative)
(iii) Earth wire- (Green insulated) for safety measure to ensure
that any leakage of current to a metallic body does not give
any serious shock to a user.
Short circuit: is caused by touching of live wires and neutral wire
Fuse: is a protective device used for protecting the circuits from short circuiting and over
loading

TOPIC 2: PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS
Gist of the lesson:

Classification of elements:the arrangement of element in such manner that element with similar
properties are grouped together while elements with dissimilar properties are separated .
Early attempt to classify elements:
DOBEREINER’S TRIADS:
He arranged the elements with similar properties in a group of three known as triad in such a
manner that the atomic mass of the middle element was approximately the average of the other two
elements
LIMITATIONS:
99

Only three triads were identified from the element known at that time .hence this classification was
not useful.
NEWLAND’S LAW OF OCTAVES :
He arranged the element in the order of increasing atomic masses starting with hydrogen(least
atomic mass ) and ended with thorium having atomic mass 56 . According to him ,the properties
of every eighth element are similar to the first element . Iit was compared to music notation sa,re
,ga ,ma, pa ,da ,ni ,sa,and thus the name Newlands law of octaves(notes of music ).
LIMITATIONS:
1. It was applicable only for lighter element having atomic mass upto 40 amu ,i.e.upto calcium .
2. He believed that only 56 elements existed in nature but later on more element were discovered
whose properties did not fit into Newland law of octaves.
3. Some elements having different properties were grouped together like cobalt and nickel have
been placed with halogens .
Due to above limitations, Newland law of octave was rejected
MANDELEEV’S PERIODIC TABLE :

om
y.c
a
He arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic masses , similarity in physical and
d
chemical properties of element . properties of hydrides and oxides of different element were
t o
studied and elements with similar properties were grouped together .
s
He classified the elements in table consisted of vertical columns called groups and horizontal rows
ie
called periods . there were 7 groups in table and group is subdivided into subgroups A and B
d
except group 7 which has three sets of elements in 4th , 5th , 6th period.
u
. s t
LIMITATIONS OF MENDELEEV, PERIODIC TABLE :
w w
1. Position of hydrogen was not assigned correctly .
w
2. No separate position has been given to isotopes of an element .
3. Some element having higher atomic mass are placed before the elements with lower atomic
mass .
MODERN PERIODIC TABLE :
Mosely modified the Mandelleve’s periodic table by taking atomic number as the fundamental
property instead of atomic mass.
Modern periodic table consists of 18 vertical columns known as group , and 7 horizontal rows
known as periods .
GROUPS:
Elements in group one are called alkali metal s.
Elements in group 2 are called alkaline earth metals .
Elements in group 17 are called halogens .
Group 18 element are called inert gasses or noble gases.
Significance of group in the periodic table is that an element in a group has same number of
valance electron ,valency and thus identical chemical properties .
100

PERIODS
1ST PERIOD – 2 elments and is called very short period .

2nd PERIOD- 8 elements and are called short period .
3rd PERIOD – 8 elements and are called short period .
4th PERIOD – 18 elements and are called long period .
5th PERIOD – 18 elements and are called long period .
6th PERIOD – 32 elements and are called very long period .
7th PERIOD- incomplete period .
The number of shell present in the element indicates the period to which it belongs .
VALENCY :
It is defined as the combing capacity of an atom of an element to acquire noble gas configuration.
it is equal to the number of electron lost , gained or shared during the formation of chemical
compound .
ATOMIC SIZE / ATOMIC RADII:
It is defined as the distance from the centre of the nucleus to the outer most cell of atom . it is
generally expressed in pico meter ( pm) .
On moving down the group the atomic radii increases.

om
.c
Because on moving down the group a new energy shell is added which increases the distance
y
a
between the outermost electron and the nucleus . All though the nucleus charge also increases , but
d
it is compensated by the additional shell being added thus , increasing the size of the atom .
t o
Across the period the atomic radii decrease. Due to the increase nuclear charge , the pull on the
s
electron increases and hence, they are pulled closer to the nucleus thus, decreasing the atomic size .
ie
Oxides and its nature. Metal reacts with oxygen to form oxides by loss of electrons. These oxides
on dissolution in water from bases.
u d
REACTIVITY OF ELEMENTS.
. s t
w w
Down the group reactivity of metal increases as the tendency to lose electron increases due to the
w
increased atomic size .
Reactivity of non metals decreases down the group because of the increased atomic size and the
tendency to gain electron decreases.
On moving across the period the reactivity first increases due to the decreased in the metallic
character and increase in nonmetallic character.

TOPIC 4: HEREDITY AND EVOLUTION
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
1.HEREDITY: Transmission of features or characters from one generation to another or from

parents to offspring through their genes
2.VARIATION: It occurs due to sexual reproduction, inaccuracies during DNA replicating

(mutation) and due to environmental factors.
3.GENETICS: Branch of biology dealing with the study of heredity and variations.
106

4.ALLELES :There is one pair of alleles which can express itself whether present in homozygous
state or heterozygous state. Eg – T (tallness in pea plant), R(round seeds in pea
plant)
5.GREGOR JOHANN MENDEL:- (1822-1884): He is known as the father of ‘genetics’. He

worked on Sweet pea plant(pisum sativum).
6.GENOTYPE: genetic composition of an individual, eg – pure tall-TT, hybrid tall-Tt
7.PHENOTYPE: Visible traits of an individual. Eg – Tallness or Dwarfness.

CHAPTER :5 REFLECTION AND REFRACTION
Key concepts and terms:
m
1) Light: light is a form of energy. It brings the sensation of sight. It is a form of electromagnetic
o
.c
radiation. It also provides us means of communication (fiber-optics).
2) Light wave: light wave travels with a speed of 3 x 108 ms-1 in free space. Its speed depends on the
medium.
a y
d
3) Ray and beam: the straight line indicating the path of the light (arrow- direction is called a ray. A
o
t
bundle of rays originating from the same source of light in a particular direction is called a beam of
light.
ies
4) Reflection: when light falls on a surface and gets back the same medium, it is called reflection.
d
5) Image: the point of convergence or the point form where the light appears to diverge after reflection
u
t
or refraction is called image.
. s
6) Angle of incidence: the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is
w
called angle of incidence.
w
7) Angle of reflection: the angle between the reflected ray and the normal at the point of reflection is
w
called angle of reflection.
8) Laws of reflection: 1) the incidence ray the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence,
all lie in the same plane.
2) The angle of reflection and the angle of incidence are equal.
9) Aperture: the width of the reflecting surface is called aperture.
10) Focus: the point on the principle axis where all parallel rays meet after reflection is called
principle focus.
11) focal length: the length or separation between the pole and the focus is called focal length (PF = f)
12) In order to draw ray diagram, two rules are used:
1) The rays of light passing parallel to the principle axis will coverage at the focus after reflection.
2) The rays of light passing through the focus will emerge parallel to the principle axis after reflection.
3) The rays of light passing through the center of curvature will all retrace their both after
reflection.(as it is normal at the point of incidence)
4) The rays of light falling at the pole get reflected at the same angle on the other side of principle
axis.(Laws of reflection)
13) Relation between radius of curvature and focal length It is two times the focal length i.e. R=2f.
14) Mirror formula: 1/f= 1/v +1/u where f, v and u are the focal length, image distance and object
distance.
111

15) Lens formula: if u, v and f are the object distance, image distance and focal length respectively
then 1/f=1/v-1/u
16) Magnification of a lens: M= size of image (h1)/ size of object (h0) also m= (h1)/ (h0) = v/u.

Topic 7: Management of natural resources

GIST
1) Natural resources: it is stock of the nature such as air, water, soil, minerals, coal,
petroleum, forest and wildlife that are useful to mankind in many ways.
2) Pollution: it is defined as the undesirable change in physical, chemical or biological

characteristics of our soil, air or water, which harmfully affect human lives or the lives of
other species.
3) pH of water: pH stands for ‘potential of hydrogen’. The acidic and basic character of
aqueous solutions can be described in terms of hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion
concentration a pH below 7 indicates an acid solution and above 7 indicates an alkaline
solution.
m
4) Three R’s to save the Environment: We can reduce pressure on the environment by

also increasing.
. s t
7) Biodiversity: It is the existence of a wide variety of species of plants, animals and
w w
microorganisms in a natural habitats with in a particular environment or of genetic
variation with a species.
w
8) Wildlife: It means all those naturally occurring animals, plants and their species which are
not cultivated, domesticated and tamed.
9) Water harvesting: It means capturing rainwater where it falls or capturing the run off in a
local area and taking measures to keep the water clean by not allowing polluting activities
to take place.
10) Fossil Fuels: These fuels are obtained from the remains of plants and animals, which got
buried beneath the earth millions of years ago, changed into coal, petroleum and natural gas
due to excessive heat and high pressure inside the earth.
11) Coal: It contains chiefly carbon and its compounds mainly nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and
hydrogen. It also contains inorganic matter.
119

12) Non-renewable Energy Sources: These are energy sources which cannot be replaced
easily when they get exhausted and are also called conventional sources of energy. E.g.:
Fossil fuels.
13) Uses of Fossil Fuels:
Coal: Thermal power plants and steam engines
Petroleum: Petroleum products like petrol and diesel are used as means of transport.
14) Management of Fossil fuels: The natural gas is a good alternative to fossil fuels like coal
and petroleum. The use of alternative source of non- conventional source of energy such as
solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy etc. Should be promoted to save the reserves of
fossil fuels .biogas can also be used for various purposes.
