Chemical reaction:

The process in which new substances with new properties are

formed from one or more substances is called Chemical Reaction.

Examples -

- Rusting of Iron

- Burning of wood

- Formation of Curd

- Respiration etc.

Following observations help to determine whether a chemical

reaction has taken place:

1) Change in state

2) Change in colour

3) Evolution of a gas

4) Change in temperature

Reactant: The substances which take part in chemical reaction.

Product: The substances which are formed in a chemical reaction.

Chemical Equation:

- Symbolic representation of a chemical reaction is said to be

Chemical equation.

- It involves uses of symbol of elements or chemical formula of

reactant and product with mention of physical state.

 - The necessary conditions such as temperature, pressure or any
catalyst should be written on arrow between reactant and
products.

- Example :
Magnesium is burnt into air to form magnesium oxide can be
represented as

Mg + O2 →MgO

Important Note

Physical state of the reactant and products are mentioned to make

chemical reaction more informative.

Example we use (g) for gas, (l) for liquid, (s) for solid and (aq) for
aqueous. Thus is good for chemical reactions and equations notes

Balancing Chemical Equation:

Chemical reactions and equations notes also include the mean to

balance the equations by several methods. They are:

Law of Conservation of Mass -

- Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical

reaction. Thus remains conserved.

- So number of elements involved in product side will be same as

reactant side.

H2 + O2 → H2O

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 - In this Chemical equation number of H atoms in reactant side
is 2 and that of product side is also 2. Number of O atoms in
reactant side is 2 but that of product side is 1.

- To balance this equation, we have to use hit and trial method.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

- Now the number of atoms in reactant side is equal to that of

product side.
Thus, balanced.

Types of Chemical Reactions

There are several types of chemical reaction based on different

factors -

Based on Chemical Change:

There are total 8 types of Chemical reactions -

1) Combination Reaction – The reaction in which two or more

substances combine to form a new single substance.

C + O2 → CO2

2) Decomposition reaction – The reaction in which a single

substance decomposes to give two or more substances.

Nacl → Na + Cl

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Decomposition reactions can be of three types -

i) Thermal Decomposition - When a decomposition reaction is

carried out by heating.

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

ii) Electrolytic Decomposition - When decomposition is carried

out by passing electricity.

2H2O + electric current → 2H2 + O2

iii) Photolytic Decomposition - When decomposition is carried

out in presence of sunlight.

2AgCl + sunlight → 2Ag (s) + Cl2

3) Displacement Reaction – The chemical Reaction in which an

element displaces another element from its solution.

Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu

4) Double Displacement Reaction – The reaction in which two

different atoms or group of atoms are mutually exchanged.

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl

5) Precipitation reaction - The reaction which involves formation

of precipitate (insoluble substance) is known as precipitation
reaction.

Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI → 2KNO3 + PbI2

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 6) Oxidation reaction - The reaction in which substance gains
oxygen or loses hydrogen is called as oxidation reaction.

2Cu + O2 + Heat → 2CuO

7) Reduction reaction - The reaction in which substance gains

hydrogen or loses oxygen is called as reduction reaction.

C + 2H2 → CH4

8) Oxidation - Reduction reaction (Redox reaction) - The reaction

in which one reactant gets oxidized and the other reactant
gets reduced is called as oxidation-reduction reaction or redox
reaction. In this reaction, simultaneous oxidation and reduction
reactions take place.

ZnO + C → Zn + CO
MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

Classification of chemical reactions based on energy

change:

The classification of reactions is the prime part of chemical

reactions and equations notes:

Exothermic Reactions -

Reaction in which heat is released along with formation of

products.

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + Heat

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Endothermic reactions -

The reactions which require energy in the form of heat, light or

electricity to break reactants are called endothermic reactions.

2Pb(NO3)2 + Heat → 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

Effects of Oxidation in Daily Life -

1) Corrosion (जंग लगना) -

When a metal is exposed to substances such as moisture, acid etc.

for some time, a layer of hydrated oxide is formed which weakens
the metal and hence metal is said to be corrode

Rusting of iron, black coating on silver and green coating on copper

are examples of corrosion.

Corrosion can be prevented by galvanization, electroplating or

painting.

 2) Rancidity (िकसी फ्रूट या स�ी का सड़ जाना) -

The oxidation of fats and oils when exposed to air is known as

rancidity. It leads to bad smell and bad taste of food.

Methods to Prevent Rancidity

- By adding antioxidants
- Keeping food in airtight containers
- Replacing air by nitrogen
- Refrigeration

 Acids

- Acids have sour taste.

- They turn blue litmus to red.

- They give positive hydrogen (H+) ions in water solution.

Strong Acids – HCl (Hydrochloric Acid), H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid),

HNO3 (Nitric Acid)

Weak Acids – CH3COOH(Acetic acid), Oxalic Acid, Lactic Acid

Concentrated Acids – More amount of acid + Less amount of

water

Dilute Acids - More amount of water + Less amount of Acid

Litmus turns Red in Sulphuric Acid and Lemon/Orange

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Chemical properties of acids:

1. Reaction of acid with base:

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

Acid and base together react to produce salt and water. This
reaction is called Neutralization reaction.

Examples -
KOH + HCl → KCl + H2O

2. Reaction of acid with metal:

Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen gas

Examples -
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2

3. Reaction of Metallic Oxides with Acids:

Metal oxide + Acid → Salt + Water

Examples -
CuO + HCl → CuCl2 + H2O

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 4. Reaction of acid with metal carbonate and metal hydrogen
carbonates:

Acid + Metal carbonate /Metal hydrogen Carbonate → Salt +

CO2 + H2O

When an acid reacts with a metal carbonate (MCO3) or metal

hydrogen carbonate (MHCO3), it gives the corresponding salt,
carbon dioxide (CO2) gas and water.

Examples -

Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O+ CO2

NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2

5. Conduction of electricity:

Acidic solutions in water conduct electricity because they

produce hydronium ions. Hydrogen ions cannot exist alone, but
they exist after combining with water molecules. Thus
hydrogen ions must always be shown as H+(aq) or hydronium ion
(H3O+). i.e. H+ + H2O → H3O+.

Strength of Acid

We can test the strength of Acid by using a scale called the

pH scale.

pH value of acids is always less than 7

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Bases

- Bases are bitter in taste and soapy in touch.

- They turn red litmus to blue.

- They give negative (OH-) ions in water solution.

Strong Bases - NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide), KOH (Potassium

hydroxide), Ca(OH)2 (Calcium hydroxide)

Weak Bases - NH4OH

Alkalis - These are bases which are soluble in water.

Litmus turns Blue in Sodium Hydroxide and Soap/ Colgate

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Chemical properties of Bases:

1. Reaction of Base with Metal:

Base + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen gas

Examples –

2NaOH + Zn → Na2ZnO2 + H2

Only Some Metals react with Base

2. Base in water:

Bases generate hydroxide (OH–) ions in water.

Water soluble bases are called alkalis.

Examples -

Mg(OH)2 + H2O → Mg+2 + 3OH-

3. Reaction of a Non-metallic Oxide with Base:

Non-Metal oxide + Acid → Salt + Water

Examples –
CO2 + Ca(OH)2 → CaCO3 + H2O

From this reaction, it is clear that Non-metallic oxides are

acidic in nature.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 4. Conduction of electricity:

Bases in water also conduct electricity as the acids do. As

bases also dissociate into hydroxide ions in water thus
conducts electricity. The process of dissolving a base in
water is a highly exothermic one.

Strength of Base

pH value of Base is always less than 7

More the value of pH is stronger the Base will be.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 pH Scale:

- A Scale to measure the strength of an Acid or a Base.

- The pH scale is marked with numbers 0 to 14, The pH varies from

0 (very acidic) to 7(neutral) and 14 (very alkaline).

- Higher the pH value then it will be Basic

- Lower the pH value then it will be Acidic.

pH < 7 Acidic

pH = 7 Neutral

pH > 7 Basic

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Importance of pH in everyday life:

1) Self Defence by Animals & Plants –

When insects like honeybee, Ant etc. bite, they inject an acid
into the skin, that causes pain and irritation. If a mild base
like Baking Soda is applied on affected area, it gives relief.

2) pH of the Soil –

Every Plant requires a specific pH range for healthy growth.

It is also suitable for selecting the Fertilizer for a particular
crop by knowing pH of the Soil.

3) pH of our Digestive System –

HCl is present in our stomach which helps in digestion of food.

As during digestion, the stomach produces too much acid, it
causes pain and irritation. To correct the disturbed pH range,
Milk of Magnesia (a mild base) is used as a medicine, also
called Antacid as it reduces the effect of Acid (or Acidity).

4) pH Change leads to Tooth Decay –

When our mouth has pH less than 5.5 then our tooth decay
starts. After eating, some food particles and sugar left in the
mouth and with the help of its bacteria present in our mouth
releases acid. Thus cause tooth decay. The best way to
prevent this is to clean the mouth after eating food.
To prevent tooth decay, toothpastes (basic) are used which
neutralize the excess acid.

 Salts

- When an acid reacts with a base then it neutralizes to form salt

and water. This reaction is called neutralization reaction.

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

- The salt we eat is Sodium Chloride. It is formed by the

combination of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution.

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

- Salts of a strong acid and weak base are acidic with pH valve less
than 7. Salts of strong base and weak acid are basic in nature
with pH valve more than 7.

 Types of Salts:

1. Rock salt (स�धा नमक)

Salt when present in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is

rock salt. When seas of bygone ages dried up, beds of rock salt
were formed in the form of large brown crystals.
(Brown due to impurities present in it).

(काला नमक/ चाट मसाले वाला नमक)

2. Common salt

Salt whose chemical composition is mainly NaCl is common salt.

 Chlor-Alkali Process

When we pass electricity through an aqueous solution of

sodium chloride (called brine), it decomposes to form sodium
hydroxide.

2NaCl + 2H2O → 2NaOH + Cl2 + H2

- After this process chlorine gas will be present at Anode, and

Hydrogen gas at Cathode.

- Sodium Hydroxide solution is formed near Cathode.

Bleaching Powder (Calcium Oxychloride, CaOCl2)

Preparation:

Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 → CaOCl2 + H2O

(Slaked lime) (Bleaching
Powder)

Uses of Bleaching Powder:

- To bleach cotton and linen in the textile industry.

- Many chemical industries use it as an oxidizing agent.

- To make drinking water free of germs by disinfecting it.

- Used for making Chloroform.

 Baking Soda (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, NaHCO3)

Preparation:

When common salt is treated with Ammonia in the presence of

water and carbon dioxide then baking soda (NaHCO3) is
formed.

NaCl + H2O + CO2 + NH3 → NH4Cl + NaHCO3

(Ammonia) (Ammonium (Sodium hydrogen
chloride) carbonate)

Uses of Baking Soda:

- It is used for making baking powder (baking soda + mild edible

acid).

- Baking soda is also used in making antacids.

- Used in Soda-acid fire extinguishers.

Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate, Na2CO3.10H2O)

Preparation:

When we heat baking soda (NaHCO3) it forms sodium

carbonate (Na2CO3). When it combines with the excess of
water than washing soda is obtained.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 2NaHCO3 + Heat → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
(Baking Soda) (Sodium Carbonate)

Na2CO3 + 10H2O → Na2CO3∙10H2O

(Sodium Carbonate) (Washing Soda)

Uses of Washing Soda:

- Washing soda is used in making Glass, Paper and Soap.

- Used in making borax and many other sodium compounds.

- Used in washing Clothes

- Used for removing permanent hardness of water.

Plaster of Paris (CaSO4.½ H2O)

Preparation:

When we heat gypsum at 373K, it loses water molecules and

becomes calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CaSO4 . ½ H2O). This is
Plaster of Paris.

CaSO4 . 2H2O → CaSO4 . ½ H2O + 1½ H2O

(Gypsum) (P.O.P)

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 It is a white powder but on mixing with water, it changes to
hard solid mass i.e gypsum again.

CaSO4 . ½ H2O + 1½ H2O → CaSO4 . 2H2O

(P.O.P) (Gypsum)

Uses of POP:

- Doctor uses as Plaster for supporting fractured bones.

- Making Toys and Sculpture (मू�तर्)

- Used for making Surfaces Smooth

Non-Metals
Handwritten Notes

Gaurav Suthar
 METALS

Those elements which form positive ions by losing electrons are

called Metals.

Physical Properties of Metals -

1. Good Conductor of Heat and Electricity.

2. High melting and Boiling Point

3. Solid at room temperature except mercury (liquid)

4. Are Sonorous (means they produce a sound on striking)

5. Are Malleable, i.e., they can be hammered into thin sheets.

6. Are Ductile (means they can be used to make wires)

Gold is the most ductile metal means wires of gold can be

made easily because gold is very soft for bending.

But we can’t use Wires of Gold in our Home (क्यं�ू क Gold

 Chemical properties of Metals -

1. Reaction of Metals with Oxygen -

Metal + Oxygen → Metal Oxide

Examples -
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

2Cu + O2 → 2CuO

Different metals react in different ways with O2

i) Metals like Potassium and Sodium react so strongly with

Oxygen that they catch fire if kept in open. So they are kept
in Kerosene oil to avoid accidental fires.

Sodium stored in Kerosene Magnesium covered with Oxide layer

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 ii) At room temperature, surfaces of metals such as Magnesium,
Aluminium, Zinc etc. are covered with a thin layer of oxide, to
prevent further oxidation.

iii) Silver and Gold do not react with oxygen even at high
temperatures.

Amphoteric Oxides - Metals oxides which react with both acids

as well as bases to produce salts and water are called Amphoteric
Oxides.

Examples -
Al2O3 + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + H2O

Al2O3 + 2NaOH → 2NaAlO2 + H2O

2. Reaction of Metals with Water -

Metal + Water → Metal Oxide + Hydrogen

Metal Oxide + Water → Metal Hydroxide

i) For Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K) - Reaction is violent

even with cold water and so exothermic that hydrogen
immediately catches fire.

Examples -

2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2 + Heat

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 2K + 2H2O → 2KOH + H2 + Heat

ii) For Calcium (Ca) - Reaction is less violent for hydrogen to

catch fire.

Examples -

Ca + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2

iii) For Aluminium (Al) and Iron (Fe) - These do not form
hydroxide as their oxides are not soluble. They do not
react with hot water but with steam.

Examples -

2Al + 3H2O → Al2O3 + 3H2

3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2

3. Reaction of Metals with Acids -

Metal + Dilute Acid → Salt + Hydrogen

Examples -
Fe + 2HCl → FeCl2 + H2

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Some metals like Silver, Gold and copper do not react with
acid.

4. Reaction of Metals with Solutions of other Metal Salts -

Metal A + Salt Solution B → Salt Solution A + Metal B

Only more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal

from compound.

Examples -
Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu

Cu + FeSO4 → No Reaction
(Because Cu is less reactive than Fe)

No Reaction

 Steps involved in Extraction of Metals from Ores

Some Important Terms

a) Gangue - Ores are usually contaminated with large amount of

impurities such as soil, sand etc. This is called gangue.

b) Roasting - The sulphide ores are converted into oxides by

heating strongly in the presence of excess air.

2ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2

c) Calcination - The carbonate ores are changed into oxides by

heating strongly in limited air.

ZnCO3 → ZnO + CO2

d) Reduction - Metal oxides are reduced to corresponding metals

by using reducing agent like carbon.

ZnO + C → Zn + CO

Refining of Metals

The most widely used method for refining impure metal is

electrolytic refining.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 e- e-

Cathode Anode

Anode - Impure copper

Cathode - Strip of pure copper

Electrolyte - Solution of acidified copper sulphate

a) On passing the current through electrolyte, the impure metal

from anode dissolves into the electrolyte.

b) An equivalent amount of pure metal from the electrolyte is

deposited at cathode.

c) The insoluble impurities settle down at the bottom of the

anode and is called anode mud.

Corrosion

The surface of some metals such as iron is corroded when they

are exposed to moist air for a long period of time.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 i) Silver becomes black when exposed to air as it reacts with
air to form a coating of silver sulphide.

ii) Copper reacts with moist carbon dioxide in the air and gains
a green coat of copper carbonate.

iii) Iron when exposed to moist air acquires a coating of a

brown color called Rust.

Prevention of Corossion

The rusting of iron can be prevented by painting, oiling, greasing,

galvanizing, chrome plating, or make alloys.

Galvanization - It is a method of protecting steel and iron from

rusting by coating them with a thin layer of zinc.

Alloy - An alloy is a homogenous mixture of two or more metals

or a metal and a non-metal.

Iron - Mixed with small amount of carbon becomes hard and

strong.

Steel - Iron + Nickel and Chromium

Brass - Copper + Zinc

Bronze - Copper + Tin

 CARBON
& its compounds
Handwritten Notes

Gaurav Suthar
 Carbon

➢ Carbon is Non-Metal. Its symbol is C.

➢ All the living things, Plants and animals are made up of Carbon.

➢ Carbon always forms covalent bonds

➢ The atomic number of carbon is 6.

Element configuration
K L
C(6) 2 4

Covalent Bond

➢ A covalent bond is formed when pairs of electrons are

shared between two atoms.

➢ It is mostly formed between two same nonmetallic atoms or

between nonmetallic atoms.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Examples of Covalent Bonding

1) Single Bond in Hydrogen (H2)

Hydrogen needs 1 more e- in outermost shell to complete octet.

H + H H H Or H- H

2) Double Bond in Oxygen (O2)

Oxygen needs 2 more e- in outermost shell to complete octet.

O + O O O Or O=O

3) Triple Bond in Nitrogen (N2)

Nitrogen needs 3 more e- in outermost shell to complete octet.

N + N N N Or N=N

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 4) Water (H2O)

Oxygen needs 2 e to complete its octet while Hydrogen needs 1

e, So Oxygen shares one-one electron from 2 hydrogens to
complete its octet.

H + O + H H O H

Or H-O-H

Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds

a) Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points as they

have weak intermolecular force.

b) They are generally poor conductor of electricity as electron are

shared between atoms therefore no charged particles are
formed.

How carbon attain Noble gas configuration?

Carbon is Tetravalent, it does not form ionic bond by either losing

four electrons (C4+) or by gaining four electrons (C4-). It is difficult

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 to hold four extra electron and would require large amount of
energy to remove four electrons. So, carbon can form bond by
sharing of its electrons with the electrons of other carbon atom or
with other element and attain noble gas configuration.

Versatile Nature of Carbon

The three characteristic properties of carbon element which lead

to the formation of large number of compounds.

1) Catenation -

The self-linking of atoms of an element to create chains

and rings by covalent bonds.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 2) Tetravalency –

Carbon has 4 valence electrons. Carbon can bond with four

carbon atoms, monovalent atoms, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur.

3) Tendency to form Multiple Bonds –

Due to its small size carbon has a strong tendency to form

multiple bonds (double and triple bonds) by sharing more than
one electron pair with its own atoms or with the atoms like
oxygen, nitrogen etc.

Allotropes of Carbon

Allotropy is the property by which an element exists in more than

one form and each form has different Physical Properties but
similar Chemical Properties.

Diamond

➢ It is formed by bonding of each carbon atom is Covalently

bonded to four other forming Rigid 3-D Structure.

➢ It is the hardest thing on Earth.

➢ It is a bad conductor of electricity. This is because all the

valence electrons of each Carbon are involved in the Covalent
Bonding, and no unpaired electrons are left in the crystal.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 ➢ It has very high melting point.

➢ It is used for making Jewellery and cutting Glasses

Kohinoor Structure of Diamond

Graphite

➢ It is formed by bonding of each carbon atom hexagonally (six-

member rings) in same plane.

➢ It is very soft and slippery because Layers can slide over one
another.

➢ It is a good conductor of electricity because in graphite every

carbon is bonded with three other carbon atoms. So last
electron in every carbon atom is free to move.

➢ It is used for making Pencil Leads, Engine Oils, Batteries and

Cells

 Fullerene

➢ Fullerenes form another class of carbon allotropes.

➢ First one to be identified was C – 60, which has carbon atom

arranged in the shape of football.

➢ It has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.

Compounds of carbon which are linked only by single bonds between

the carbon atoms.

Types of saturated hydrocarbons -

Alkanes - The hydrocarbons in which all the carbon atoms are

Example –
C17H35COONa+

- Soaps are effective only in soft water.

Soap molecule has –

a) Ionic (hydrophilic part)

b) Long hydrocarbon chain (hydrophobic part)

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Example of Soaps -

Cleansing Action of Soap

1) When soap is added to water, the soap molecules uniquely

orient themselves to form spherical shape micelles.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 2) The non-polar hydrophobic part or tail of the soap molecules
attracts the dirt or oil part of the fabric, while the polar
hydrophilic part or head,(−COO−Na+, remains attracted to
water molecules.

3) The agitation or scrubbing of the fabric helps the micelles to

carry the oil or dirt particles and detach them from the
fibres of the fabric.

 Detergents -

- Detergents are ammonium or sulphonate salt of long chain of

carboxylic acid.

- Detergents are effective in both hard and soft water.

Example of Detergents -

Hard Water

- Hard water means, water having a very high amount of

minerals like Calcium and Magnesium

- When soap is added to hard water, calcium and magnesium ions

of hard water react with soap forming insoluble product called
Scum. This scum create difficulty in cleansing action.

- By use of detergent, insoluble scum is not formed with hard

water and cloths get cleaned effectively. So, Detergents can
only be used in Hard Water but not Soap.

The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange—the inhalation of oxygen
(O2) and the exhalation of carbon dioxide (CO2). The lungs, conducting airways,
and the diaphragm are key structures of the system.
Lungs and Diaphragm Trachea
Human lungs are sponge-like organs Right Lung Left Lung
found in the thoracic (chest) cavity. (3 lobes) (2 lobes)
The right lung has 3 lobes and is larger

 Human Body: Urinary System
The urinary system filters extra water and waste products from the blood to help
maintain proper fluid balance inside the body. An elaborate system of tubes and
tubules intertwines with arteries and veins within the kidneys to allow for maximum
excretion of waste products, such as various salts and proteins. The ureters
carry this waste to the bladder, where it is stored until excretion.

OORDINATION
Handwritten Notes

Gaurav Suthar
 Control and Coordination

All the living organisms respond and react to changes in the

environment around them.

Examples - Withdrawal of hand on touching hot object.

Stimuli
The changes in the environment to which the organisms
respond is called stimuli such as light, heat, cold, sound, smell,
touch etc.

Plants and animals both respond to stimuli but in different

manner.

Control And Coordination in ANIMALS

It is brought about in all animals with the help of two main

systems.

a) Nervous System
b) Endocrine System

Nervous System

The nervous system is made of Brain, Spinal Cord and a huge

network of Nerves.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Functions of Nervous System –

i) To receive information from environment.

ii) Controls all voluntary muscular activities. Example- running

and writing.

iii) Enables us to remember, think and reason.

iv) Regulates involuntary activities such as breathing and

beating of the heart

Receptors

- These are specialized tips of some nerve cells that detect the
information from the environment.

- These receptors are located in our sense organs.

a) Ear :
• Used in Hearing
• Help in making Balance of Body

b) Eyes :
• Photoreceptors
• Used in Seeing

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 c) Skin :
• Thermoreceptors
• Used in feeling temperature like Hot or Cold
• Touch

d) Nose :
• Olfactory receptors
• Used in Smelling

e) Tongue :
• Gustatory receptors
• Used in Tasting (Sweet or Salty)

Neuron

Structural and Functional unit of nervous system.

Parts of Neuron:

1) Dendrites -

It receives information.

2) Cell Body -

The received information by dendrites is now traveled as an

electrical impulse by Cell Body.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 3) Axon -

It is the longest fibre on the cell of body is called Axon. It

transmits electrical impulse from cell body to dendrite of next
neuron.

Synapse

It is the gap between the nerve ending of one neuron and

dendrite of other neuron.

In this electrical signal is converted into chemical signal.

 Reflex Action

Reflex action is quick, sudden and immediate response of the

body to a stimulus.

Examples - When you smell your favorite dish, your mouth waters.

Reflex Arc -

The pathway through which nerve impulses pass during reflex

action is called Reflex Arc.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Response:

Responses are of three main types –

1. Voluntary

- Controlled by Fore Brain.

- Eg. Talking, Writing.

2. Involuntary

- Controlled by mid and back brain.

- Eg. Heartbeat, Vomiting, Breathing

3. Reflex Action

- Controlled by Spinal cord.

- Eg. When you touch a hot object, you withdraw your hand
from it immediately.

Need of Reflex Actions

In some situations such as touching a hot object, pinching etc.
We need to act quickly, otherwise our body would be harmed.

Here response is generated from spinal cord instead of brain.

It is the most complex part of the brain. It consists of

Cerebrum.

Functions –
i) Thinking part of the brain
ii) Control the voluntary actions
iii) Store Information (Memory)

2) Mid (Middle) Brain

It connects the Fore (Front) – Brain with Hind (Back) – Brain

Functions –
i) Controls Involuntary actions
ii) This part of brain helps in changing Size of Pupil in our
Eyes
iii) Controls Reflex movements of Head, Neck

3) Hind (Back) Brain

It has three parts -

i) Cerebellum -
Controls posture and balance. Precision of voluntary actions
Eg. Picking Pen.

 ii) Medulla -
Controls involuntary actions e.g. blood pressure, Vomiting

iii) Pons -
This also controls Involuntary actions but of different types
like Breathing

Protection of Brain and Spinal Cord

a) Brain - Brain is protected by a fluid filled balloon which acts

as shock absorber and is enclosed in cranium (skull or brain
box)

b) Spinal Cord - Spinal cord is enclosed in vertebral column.

 Limitations of Electric communication/ Nervous System:

- Electric impulse will reach only to those cells that are

connected by nervous tissue.

- After generation and transmission of an electrical impulse, the

cell takes some time to reset its mechanism before
transmitting another impulse. So cells cannot continually create
and transmit impulse.

- Plants do not have any nervous system.

COORDINATION IN PLANTS

Movements in Plants

Independent of Growth Dependent on Growth

1) Independent of growth

- Immediate response to stimulus

- Plants use electrical-chemical means to convey information

from cell to cell.

- For movement to happen, cells change their shape by

changing the amount of water in them, resulting in swelling
or shrinking of cells.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 - Example, Drooping (प�� का मुरझाना) of leaves of “Touch me
not/ छुई मुई का पौधा) pant on touching it.

2) Dependent on growth

- These movements are tropic movements that is directional

movements in response to stimulus.

i) Hydrotropism - Movement towards water.

 iv) Chemotropism - Growth of pollen tube towards ovule.

v) Thigmotropism - The part of tendril away from the object

grows more rapidly as compared to the part near the
object. This causes circulating of tendril around the
object.

 Plant Hormones

Are chemical compounds which help to coordinate growth,

development and responses to the environment.
Main Plant hormones are –

a) Auxin:

- Synthesized at shoot tip

- Helps the cells to grow longer
- Involved in phototropism

b) Gibberellin:

- Helps in growth of the stem

c) Cytokinin:

- Promotes cell division

- Present in greater concentration in fruits and seeds

d) Abscisic Acid:

- Stops Growth
- Cause wilting of leaves (प�� का मुरझाना)
- Stress hormone (दे ख लो पोध� को भी Stress होता है �)

Iodised salt is necessary because iodine mineral is essential part

of thyroxine hormone secreted by thyroid gland. Thyroxine
regulates metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. So, we
must consume iodised salt which is necessary for proper working
of thyroid gland. Its deficiency causes a disease called Goiter
(Swollen Neck).

 DIABETES

Disease in which blood sugar level increase.

Cause - Due to the deficiency of insulin hormone secreted by

pancreas that is responsible to control blood sugar levels.

Treatment - Injections of insulin hormone.

Feedback Mechanism

The excess or deficiency of hormones has harmful effects on our

body. Feedback mechanism makes sure that hormones should be
secreted in precise quantity and at right time.

Example - Feedback mechanism to control the sugar level in blood is

as follows:

Sugar Level in the blood rises

Detected by cells of Pancreas

Feedback sent

Handwritten Notes

Made with
by
GAURAV SUTHAR
The production of new organism form the already existing
organism of the same species is known as Reproduction.

- The process of reproduction ensures continuity of life on earth.

- Reproduction is essential for the survival of a species on this

earth.

- The production of a new organism from a single parent without

the involvement of sex cells (or gametes) is called asexual
reproduction.

- The production of a new organism from two parents by making

use of their Sex cells (or gametes) is called Sexual
reproduction.

Ques - Differentiate between Asexual Reproduction and Sexual

Reproduction.

- In budding, a small part of the body of the parent organism

grows out as a 'bud' which then detaches and becomes a new
organism.

− The parent plant produces hundred of microscopic reproductive

units called 'spores'. When the spore case of the plant bursts,
then the spores spread into air. When these air-borne spores
land on food (or soil) under favourable conditions (like damp
and warm conditions), they germinate and produce new plants.

− Example - Rhizopus

− Sexual Reproduction involves the fusion of gametes or sex cells
resulting in the formation of zygote

− Due to the fusion of gametes, the chances of variations are

very high during sexual reproduction

Ques - What is the advantage of Sexual reproduction?

Ans – Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation which

ultimately leads to evolution of new species.

The Sex Organs (or reproductive organs) of a plant are in its

flowers.

 • It is the male reproductive part of the flower.

• It is composed of two parts - Anther and Filament.

• Stamen produces pollen grains that are yellow in colour.

• It is the female reproductive part of the flower.

• It is composed of three parts - Ovary, Style and Stigma.

• Ovary : The swollen bottom part

• Style : Middle elongated part

• Stigma : Terminal sticky part

• The green, leaf-like parts of the flower are called

Sepals.

• Its function is to protect the flower in its initial stages.

• The colourful parts of a flower are called Petals.

 • Its function of petals is to attract insects for
pollination and to protect the reproductive organs.

• Contains either Stamens or Pistil

• Example - Papaya, Watermelon

• Contains both Stamens and Pistil

• Example - Hibiscus, Mustard

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 The transfer of pollen grains from anther of a stamen to the
stigma of a carpel is called pollination.

- Pollination can be of two types:

• The pollen grains from the anther of a

flower are transferred to the Stigma of the same
flower (or another flower of the same plant)

• The pollen grains from the anther of

a flower on one plant are transferred to the Stigma of a
flower of another similar plant.

Fertilization occurs when the male gamete present in the pollen

grain joins with the female gamete (or egg) present in ovule.

 • The age at which the Sex hormone and gametes begin to be
produces and the Boy and Girl become sexually mature is
called Puberty.

• In males, after Puberty, testes starts producing sperms and

the Male sex hormone called Testosterone.

• In females, after puberty, ovaries starts producing Ova (or

eggs) and Female sex hormone, Estrogen.

• Male and female also starts developing secondary sexual

characters.

Secondary Sexual characters in Male :

a. Hair grow in Armpits, Pubic regions, Chest and

Face
b. Body becomes muscular.
c. The voice deepens.
d. Chest and Shoulders broaden.

Secondary Sexual characters in Female :

a. Hair grow in Armpits and Pubic regions.

• The male reproductive system consists of portions which
perform two major functions-

- Produce sperms – Testes

- Deliver sperms to the site of fertilization - All the rest

(Vas deferens, Seminal Vesicle, Prostrate)

− It is primary reproductive organ in male.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar
 − It is located outside the abdominal cavity in scrotum
because sperm formation requires a lower temperature
than the normal body temperature.

Functions of Testes –

• Formation of Sperms.
• Secretion of testosterone.

− Vas deferens delivers sperms from testes to urethra.

− Both of these gland add fluid secretions to the sperms

which makes the transport of sperms easier and provides
nutrition.

Human Body: Reproductive System
The male and female reproductive systems are controlled by hormones produced
by the pituitary gland in the brain, and the reproductive organs themselves.
Brain The Reproductive Organs
These organs make, mature, and store gametes, or sex cells, in
the human body. The male gametes are called sperm and female
gametes are called ova or egg cells. Each gamete contributes
half of an offspring’s DNA, providing genetic variation through
hypothalamus
sexual reproduction.

Male reproductive system

Pituitary gland Sperm is made in the seminiferous tubules and stored in the
spinal
cord epididymis. It travels through the vas deferens, where it mixes
with seminal fluids and passes through the urethra.

Female reproductive system

Immature eggs are found in the ovaries where they mature and are Developing
released into the fallopian tubes. An egg travels down the tube to Ovarian Follicle
the uterus, where it either implants and develops into an embryo or
is shed with the lining of the uterus at the end of a menstrual cycle.

 − It is the primary reproductive organ in female. It performs
two major functions

− It acts as a site of fertilization.

− The Oviducts unite into an elastic - bag like structure

known as the uterus.

− Uterus opens into the vagina through cervix.

− It receives sperms from male partner, serves as a Birth

Canal.

− Uterus is connected to vagina through a narrow opening

called Cervix.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 - The sperms enter through the vaginal passage during sexual
intercourse.

- They travel upwards and reach the oviduct where they may
encounter egg.

- The fertilized egg (zygote) starts diving to form a ball of

cells or embryo.

- The embryo is implanted in the lining of the uterus where

they continue to grow and develop organs to become foetus.

- The embryo gets nutrition from the mother's blood with the
help of a special tissue called Placenta.

- The development of the child inside the mother's body takes

approximately nine months (Gestation period). The child is born
as a result of rhythmic contractions of the muscle in the
uterus.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 - Every month, Ovary releases one egg and uterus prepares
itself to receive the fertilised egg by developing thick,
spongy lining.

- If fertilisation doesn't take place, egg along with the uterus

lining breaks down and comes out through vagina as blood
and mucus.

- This cycle takes place roughly every month and is known as

Mensuration.

- It lasts for about 2-8 days.

- Diseases which are spread by sexual contact with an infected

person are called Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD).

- Common STD are:

• Gonorrhoea

• Syphills Caused by Bacteria

• AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) Caused by

Virus

 HEREDITY

Introduction

- All living organisms give rise to new individuals (offspring) by a

process of reproduction.
- The offspring produced as a result is similar to their parent but not
identical i.e. they also show some differences.
- The mechanism of transmission of character is called Heredity or
Inheritance while the differences seen among individuals is called
variations

Accumulation of Variation during Reproduction

Variation

- The differences in the characters (or traits) among the parents and
their offspring, the offspring or the individuals of same specs is
called as variation.

- Some amount of variation is produced during asexual reproduction

while the number of successful variations are maximized by the
process of Sexual Reproduction.

Importance of Variation

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

- Depending on the nature of variation, different individuals of a
species can have different advantages. E.g; Bacteria that can
withstand heat will survive better in a heat wave.

- Main advantage of variation to a species is that it increases the

chances of its survival in a changing environment.

Heredity

- The transmission of characters from parents to offspring is

called heredity.

Traits

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Rule of Inheritance of Traits -

Gregor Mendel

- Considered as the "Father of Genetics".

- He was the first Scientist to make a

systematic study of patterns of inheritance.

- He used pea plants Pisum sativum for his

experiments.

Tall Short Round Yellow Green

Wrinkled Seed Color
Plant Height

Important Terms

Factor/Gene - It is a segment of DNA that determines a particular

character. Genes are represented by letters. A capital letter shows that
the gene is dominant, and a small one that it is recessive.

Alleles - Alternate forms of a gene. E.g, Pea plant height - Tall(T) & Short
(t) Allele

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Dominant Allele - A dominant allele expresses itself in the presence or
absence of recessive allele. Example - Allele for tallness (T).
Recessive Allele - A recessive allele is able to express itself only in the
absence of a dominant allele. Example – Allele for shortness (t)

Genotype – It is the genetic composition of an individual. Example TT, Tt

or tt

Phenotype – It is the characteristic which is visible in an organism.

Example Tall or Short plant height.

Homozygous – An individual having identical alleles. Example TT or tt

Heterozygous – An individual having contrasting alleles. Example Tt

Monohybrid Cross

- In monohybrid cross, we consider one pair of contrasting trait.

1. Mendel selected true breeding tall pea plant (TT) and crossed
it with Short (tt) plant.

2. The plants formed as a result of the cross represented first

filial or F1 generation.

3. All the F1 plants obtained were tall.

4. Mendel self-pollinated the F1 plants (selfing) and observed that

plants in the F2 generation were 75% tall and 25% Short i.e.
phenotypic ratio 3:1

- In Dihybrid cross, We consider two pairs of contrasting traits.

(Seed shape and Seed Colour)

Experiment

1) Mendel crossed pea plants bearing Round & Yellow seeds (Rryy)
with wrinkled green (rryy).

2) He obtained F1 generation with all pea plants having Round and

Yellow seeds (RrYy).

 Mendel's Laws

Law of Dominance -

Mendel's Law of dominance states that in a heterozygote, one

trait will conceal the presence of another trait.

E.g. Tall (TT) X Short (tt)

Tall (Tt)

Law of Segregation -

When an organism makes gametes, each gamete receives just one

gene copy, which is randomly. This is known as the law of
Segregation.

E.g. - Tall (Tt)

Gamete T t

Law of Independent Assortment -

Mendel's law of independent assortment that the alleles of two

more (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes
independently of one another.

E.g. - In a dihybrid cross, the shape of seed doesn't depend on

the colour of seed.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 How do traits get expressed?

- Cellular DNA is the information source for making proteins in the

cell.

- A part of DNA that provides information for one particular

protein is called a gene for that protein.

- Example
Height of a plant depends upon growth hormone which in turn is
controlled by the gene. If the gene is efficient and more growth
hormone is s ecreted, the plant will grow tall. If the gene gets
altered and less hormone is secreted, then the plant will remain
short. Thus, genes control characteristics or traits.

Sex Determination

- The process by which sex of a new born individual is determined is

called Sex Determination.

Non - Genetically Genetically

- Environmental cues : In - In humans, genes inherited

turtles, Alligators, Crocodile, from parents decide the sex
temperature at which of the offspring.
fertilized eggs are kept
determines sex.

- In Snails, individuals can

change sex.

Sex determination in humans

- In humans, sex of the child depends on the

father or we can say, the male gamete that
fuses with the female gamete.

- Humans possess 23 pairs of chromosomes

out of which one pair comprises the sex
chromosomes.
(XX in females - perfect pair)
(XY in males - Mis-matched pair)

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

- At the time of fertilization, the egg cell
fuses with sperm resulting in the formation
of Zygote.

- During fertilization,

i) If the egg cell carrying X chromosome

fuses with sperm carrying X
chromosome, the offspring would be a
girl.
ii) If the egg cell carrying X chromosome
fuses w ith sperm carrying Y
chromosome, the offspring would be a
boy.

 REFRACTION

Change in path of a light ray as it passes from one medium to

another medium is called Refraction of Light.

1) When light ray goes 2) When light rays go from

from denser to rarer rarer to denser medium
medium it bends away it bends towards the
from normal. normal.

Cause of Refraction?
As we know speed of light is different in different media, i.e.
more in rarer medium and comparatively less in denser medium.
So, when light enters a denser medium, its speed reduces and it
bends towards the normal and when it enters rarer medium, its
speed increases and it bends away from the normal

 Refraction through a Rectangular Glass Slab :-

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 i = Angle of incidence
r = Angle of Refraction
e = Angle of Emergence

 Angle of incidence = Angle of Emergence, ∠i = ∠e

 If the incident ray falls normally to the surface of glass

slab, then there is no bending of ray of light ; i.e. it goes
straight.

Laws of Refraction

1) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the
interface of two transparent media at the point of incidence,
all lie in the same plane.

2) Snell’s Law - The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the

sine of angle of refraction is constant, for a light of given
color and for a given pair of media.

- It is expressed as :

sin i
= μ = constant [ “μ” is refractive index ]
sin r

Refractive Index

- The extent of change in direction that takes place in a given

pair of media is expressed in terms of refractive index.

The Colorful World
Handwritten Notes

Gaurav Suthar
 Human Eye

Sense organ that helps us to see.

- Located in eye sockets in skull.

- Diameter of Eye is 2.3 cm (Size of eye remains same throughout

our whole life)

VITREOUS HUMOUR

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Parts of Human Eye

1) Cornea –

It is the outermost, transparent part. It provides most of the

refraction of light.

2) Lens –

It is composed of a fibrous, jelly like material. Provides the

focused real and inverted image of the object on the Retina.
This is convex lens that converges light at Retina.

3) Iris –

It is a dark muscular diaphragm that controls the size of the

pupil.

4) Pupil –

It is the window of the eye. It is the central aperture in Iris.

It regulates and controls the amount of light entering the
eye.

5) Ciliary Muscles –

They hold the lens in position and help in modifying the

curvature of lens.

6) Retina –

It is a delicate membrane having enormous number of light

sensitive cells.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 7) Optic Nerve –

It transmits visual information from retina to Brain.

8) Blind Spot –

The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye.

9) Aqueous Humour –

Between the cornea and eye lens, there is a space filled with
transparent liquid is called the aqueous humour which helps
the refracted light to be focused on retina. It also provides
nutrition to eye.

10) Vitreous Humour –

Space between eye lens and retina is filled with a liquid called
Vitreous Humour.

Far Point of Eye –

Maximum distance to which eye can see clearly, is called far point
of eye.

- For a normal eye, it’s value is Infinity

Near Point of Eye –

Minimum distance at which an object can be seen most distinctly

without any strain is called the least distance of distinct vision.

- For a normal eye, it’s value is 25cm.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

  Range of Human Vision is from 25 cm to Infinity

Power of Accommodation

It is the ability of eye-lens to adjust its focal length.

- �कसी Object को clear दे खने के �लए और उस पर focus करने के �लए

1) Myopia (Near Sightedness) दरू क� नज़र कमज़ोर होना

- A myopic person can see nearby objects clearly but cannot

see distant objects clearly.

- Image is formed in front of Retina.

Causes of Myopia

- Excessive curvature of eye lens

- Stretching of eye ball

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Correction

It is done by using concave lens of appropriate power.

a) In a myopic eye, image of distant object is formed in front

of the retina (not on retina)

Myopic Eye

b) The far point (F) of a myopic eye is less than infinity.

Far Point of a Myopic Eye

c) The concave lens placed in front of eye forms a virtual

image of distant object at far point (F) of the myopic eye.

 2) Hypermetropia (Far Sightedness) पास क� नज़र कमज़ोर
होना

- Affected person can see far objects clearly but can’t see
nearby objects clearly.

- The near point of eye moves away.

- Image is formed behind the retina.

Causes of Hypermetropia

- Focal length of eye lens becomes too long.

- Eye ball becomes too small.

Correction

It is done by using convex lens of appropriate power.

a) In a hypermetropic eye, image of distant object is formed

behind the retina (not on retina)

Hypermetropic Eye

 b) The near point (N) of a hypermetropic eye is more than
25cm.

Near Point of Hypermetropic Eye

c) Correction of hypermetropia. The convex lens placed in

front of eye forms a real image of near object on Retina.

 - It is a defect of vision due to which an old person can’t see
nearby objects clearly due to loss of power of
accommodation of eye.

- The near point of old person having presbyopia becomes

more that 25 cm.

Causes of Presbyopia

- Weakening of Ciliary Muscles.

- Decreasing flexibility of eye lens.

Correction

- It is done by using convex lens of appropriate power.

- Sometimes a person may suffer from both myopia and

hypermetropia. Such people require bifocal lens for
correction.

Advantage of eyes in front of the face

- It gives a wider field of view.

- It provides three-dimensional view.

 Prism

It is a pyramidal piece of glass with two triangular bases and three

rectangular faces.

Dispersion of White Light by a Glass Prism –

- The phenomenon of splitting of white light into its 7 colors, when

it passes through a prism is called Dispersion.

- This band of seven colors VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green,

Yellow, Orange, red) is called Spectrum

Ques) Why Dispersion Occurs?

Ans - Light rays of different colors, travel with the same speed in
vacuum and air but in any other medium, they travel with
different speeds and bend through different angles, which
leads to dispersion of light.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Recombination of White Light

- Reverse of dispersion is also possible

- Seven Colored lights of the spectrum can be recombined to give

back white light by placing two prisms, one upside down.

Total Internal Reflection

When light enters obliquely from a denser medium to a rarer

medium and the angle of incidence exceeds critical angle, the light
reflects in the denser medium. This is called Total Internal
Reflection.

Conditions necessary for Internal Reflection

i) Light should enter obliquely from a denser to a rarer medium.

ii) The angle of incidence should exceed critical angle, the light
reflects in the denser medium.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Critical Angle – The angle of incidence for which the angle of
refraction is 90o

 Rainbow

A natural spectrum appearing in sky after rain.

- Some Water droplets remain in air after Rain. These droplets

act as small prisms.

- Water droplets refract and disperse the incident sunlight, then

reflect internally and finally, reflect it again when it comes out
of raindrop.

- Rainbow is always in opposite side of Sun.

 Atmospheric Refraction

The refraction by different layers of atmosphere is called

Atmospheric Refraction.

Effects of Atmospheric Refraction –

1) Advanced Sunrise

- The sun appears about two minutes earlier than actual sunrise
and the sun remains visible for about two minutes after actual
sunset.

- When the sun is below horizon, the rays have to pass from
rarer to denser medium. So rays bend towards the normal. As a
result the sun appears higher than its actual position.

Perceived Position

True Position

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 2) An object placed behind the fire appears to flicker

- The air above hot surface becomes hot and rises. The space is
occupied by cool air. The refractive index of hot air is less
than that of cool air. So the physical condition of the medium
are not constant. Due to changing Refractive Index of medium,
the light appears to come from different directions. It results
in fluctuations in apparent position of object.

Flickering

3) Star seen higher than they actually are

- The refractive index of earth’s atmosphere in general

increases from top to bottom. So, the light coming from a star
near the horizon has to travel from rarer to denser medium
and it bends towards the normal. Due to which stars appears
higher.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Star seems higher

Actual position

Increasing Bending of
Refractive Index Star’s light due
to atmospheric
refraction

4) Twinkling of Stars

- Stars are very far from us, so they behave as point source of
light. Since the physical conditions of the earth’s atmosphere
are not constant the light from stars appears to come from
different directions. This results in fluctuation of apparent
position of star.

- The amount of light coming from stars also vary due to

changing Refractive Index of atmosphere.

- The stars appears bright when more light from star reaches
our eyes and the same star appears dull when less amount of
light reaches our eyes. This causes twinkling of Stars.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Ques) Why do planets not twinkle?
Ans - The planets are much closer to the earth and are considered
a collection of many point sized sources of light, the total
amount of light entering our eye from all the individual point
sized sources will average out to zero, thereby nullifying the
twinkling effect.

 Scattering of Light

The reflection of light from an object in all directions is called

scattering of light.

- It depends on the size of particle (िजस Particle से टकराकर

Scatter हुई है Light)

i) Small size particles scatter blue color of light (Shorter

wavelength)

ii) Medium size particles scatter red color of light (Longer

wavelength)

iii) Large size particles scatter all the colors of light that’s why
it appears white

1
Scattering ∝
wavelength

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Effects of Scattering of Light -

1) Tyndall Effect

- The earth’s atmosphere is a heterogeneous mixture of minute

particles of smoke, tiny water droplets, dust in air which
becomes visible due to scattering of light.

Tyndall Effect

2) Color of Sky is Blue

- The upper layer of atmosphere contains very small particles of

water vapours and gases. These particles are more effective in
scattering of light of shorter wavelength mainly blue color, So
sky appears blue.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 - If earth had no atmosphere than there would not have been
any scattering of light because at higher altitude there are no
particles that’s why sky of other planets is dark because there
is no atmosphere in planets like Mars.

- So sky appears dark to an Astronaut in space or to a passenger

of jet plane

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 3) Danger Signs are of Red Color

- Red is the least scattered color. It is least scattered by fog

and smoke can be seen in the same color over a long distance.
So, danger signs are made in red color.

4) Color of Sun at Sunrise and Sunset

- During sunset and sunrise, the sun is near horizon and

therefore the sunlight has to travel larger distance in
atmosphere. Due to this most of the blue light (shorter
wavelength) are scattered away by the particles. The light of
longer wavelength (red color) will reach our eye. This is why sun
appear red in color.

 Ohm’s Law:

- The current passing through a circuit is directly

proportional to the potential difference (Voltage)

- Potential Difference ∝ Electric Current

V ∝ I
V = IR
Here R is constant for the given conductor and is called
Resistance.

- Ohm’s Law is valid only when temperature is constant.

If temperature changes resistance also changes दजसकी

 - The electrical appliance which is used to oppose the
current is called Resistor.

- Variable resistance (Rheostat) is the component used to

increase or decrease current without changing the
Voltage.

Factors affecting Resistance

1) Length of conductor –

अगर wire लम्बा होगा तो Resistance भी ज्यािा होगा

और अगर wire छोटा है तो Resistance भी कम होगा

Short Wire Low Resistance

Long Wire High Resistance

2) Area of Cross- Section –

अगर wire मोटा है तो Resistance कम होगा

 Combination of Resistors:

- There are two types of Combinations of Resistors.

1) Series Combination
2) Parallel Combination

Resistance in Series

- Same Current flows through the circuit means Same

current flows through each resistor.

- Voltage will be sum of all Voltages across each resistor.

- Ohm’s Law can be applied to this combination to find

Equivalent Resistance.

Equivalent Resistance (Rs) in series combination –

Rs = R 1 + R2 + R3

- Equivalent Resistance (Rs) is always greater than each

individual resistance in series combination.

Subscribe to my YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GauravSuthar

 Rs > R1
Rs > R2
Rs > R3

Resistance in Parallel

- Potential difference between the two points across

resistors are same.

- There will be different current flowing through each

resistor.

Equivalent Resistance (Rp) in series combination –

1 1 1 1

RP R1 R2 R3

- Equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel combination

is always less than the individual resistances.

Advantage of Parallel Combination –

- In parallel combination each appliance gets the full

voltage.

- If one appliance is switched on, others are not affected.

Heating Effect of Electric Current:

- When an electric current is passed through a conductor,

it generates heat due to the Resistance.

- Workdone = VQ

- All biological (plants, animals, micro-organisms etc.) and physical (Soil,
Water, air, sunlight etc.) Surroundings around us create our environment.

- All interacting organisms in an area together with non- living constituents

of the environment form an ecosystem.

- It exists in nature without any human interference.

- Example - Pond, River, Forest

- Made by humans for their own interest

- Example - Aquarium, Garden

- Organism which can prepare their own food from simple inorganic
substances like carbon dioxide and water by using sunlight energy in the
presence of chlorophyll.

- Ex. Green plants and certain blue-green algae

- Those organism which consume food prepared by producers are called
Consumers.

- Micro-organism that break down the complex organic compounds

present in dead organism into simpler substances.

- Ex. Certain bacteria and Fungi

- The flow of nutrients and energy from one organism to another at

different trophic levels forms a food chain.

- Food chain represents a single unidirectional transfer of energy.

- Food chain starts with producer.

- Several Interconnected food chains forms a food web.

- Single food chain doesn't naturally occur in an ecosystem.

- The various steps in a food chain at which the transfer of food (or
energy) takes place are called trophic levels.

- Only 10 percent of the energy entering a particular trophic level of
organisms is available for transfer to the next higher trophic level.

- Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of a toxic chemical in the
tissue of a particular organism.

- It occurs in a single organism over lifetime.

- Biomagnification refers to the increase in concentration of harmful

chemical substances in the body of living organism at each trophic
levels of a food chain.

- It expands over different trophic levels.

- Organisms at the higher trophic levels have higher concentration of such
chemicals.

- Eg. In the below case, man will have the highest amount of pesticides

- Ozone molecule is made up of 3 atoms of oxygen combined together

(O₃)

- Ozone layer protects the life on earth from harmful ultraviolet

radiations coming from sun.

- Ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer.

- Ozone is formed high up in the atmosphere by the action of
ultraviolet radiation on oxygen gas.

- Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is one of the major chemicals that deplete

the ozone layer. CFC is found in coolant, fire extinguisher etc.

- In 1987, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) forged an

agreement among its member countries to freeze CFC production.

 - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

- Proper waste disposal methods should be followed.

- Use of clay made cups or paper cups over plastic cups.

- Cloth, Jute or paper cups should be used.
