(i) What is the atomic number of Y?
(ii) What is the mass number of X?
(iii) What is the relation between X and Y?
(iv) Which element/elements do they represent?
(v) Write the electronic configuration of X?
(vi) Write the cation/anion formed by the element

Ans: (i) Atomic number of y =  8            
(ii) Mass number of x – 16         
 (iii) x and y are isotopes  
(iv) x and y represent – oxygen              
(v) 2, 6                                      
(vi) It will form an anion – O-2

2. Q. Which of the following are isotopes and which are isobars?

Argon,  Protium, Calcium, Deuterium. Explain why the isotopes have similar chemical properties but they differ in physical properties?

 Ans: Isotopes – Protium, Diuterium                       

 Isobars – Argon and calcium

Since isotopes have identical electronic configuration containing same number of valence electrons they have similar chemical properties.

Since the masses are slightly different the physical properties (density, melting pt, boiling pt, etc) are different

3. Q. (a) Explain Bohr and Bury rules for distribution of electrons into different shells. (b) Draw the electronic structure of element X with atomic number 17 and element Y with atomic number 16 ?

Ans: (a) Bohr Bury Rules 
                                                    
(i) The maximum no. of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n2 (where n is shell no.)

(ii) The maximum no. of electrons that can be accommodated in the outer most orbit is 8. (iii) 

 Electron are not accommodated in a given shell, unless the inner shells are filled :

 (b) (i) X at No. 17 E.C.= 2 , 8, 7 (ii) Y At No. 16 E.C = 2, 8, 6

4. Q. The atomic number and mass number of an element are 16 and 32 respectively. Find the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in it. State its valency. Is this element a metal or a non – metal. Justify your answer.

Ans: (a) No. of protons = 16      
No. of electrons = 16     
No. of neutrons = 16
(b) Electronic configuration 2, 8, 6  
Valency = 8-6 = 2 
(c) It is a non metal because it has 6 valence electrons

Ans: (a) Mass number of X = 35 Mass number of Y = 37  

Relationship between the two species since number of protons is same (same atomic number) they are isotopes of same element   

 (b) Numbers of electrons = 10 Name of the element = Neon  k L 2 8

6. Q. State the observations in a - particle scattering experiment which led Rutherford to make the following conclusions
(i) Most of the space in an atom is empty. 
(ii) Whole mass of an atom is concentrated in its centre.
(iii) Centre is positively charged.

Ans: 
(i) Most of the alpha particles passed through gold foil with getting deflected.
(ii) Very few particles were deflected from their path by 1800 indicating that whole mass of the atom is present in its centre.
(iii) Few particles deflected at small and large angle from their path indicating that centre is positively charged.

7. Q.(i) State the limitations of J.J. Thomson‟s model of an atom. 
(ii) Define valency by taking the examples of magnesium (At. no = 12)  and oxygen (At. no=8) 
(iii) S -2 has completely filled K,L and M shells. Find its atomic number.

Ans: (i) The results of experiments carried out by other scientists could not be explained by J.J. Thomson’s model of atom.

(ii) The combining capacity of an element is called its valency. Magnesium has atomic number 12 and electronic configuration is 2,8,2. It can lose 2 electrons to get octet configuration thus its valency is 2.
Oxygen has atomic number 8 and its electronic configuration is 2, 6. It can gain 2 electrons to get octet configuration thus its valency is 8-6=2
(iii) The atomic number is equal to number of protons thus atomic number of S-2 ion is 16.

8. Q. State one use each of an isotope of (i) uranium , (ii) iodine.

Ans: Isotope of uranium is used in nuclear reactions and Isotope of iodine is used in treatment of goiter

9. Q. Is it possible for the atom of an element to have one electron, one proton and no neutron? If so, name the element.
Ans: Yes, it is true for hydrogen atom which is represented as 1H1

10. Q. Why did Rutherford select a gold foil in his α–ray scattering experiment?

Ans it is because gold has high malleability can be hammered into thin sheet

11. Q. Will Cl-35  and Cl-37 have different valences?

Ans: No, It is because these are isotopes of chlorine that have same atomic number but different mass number

12. Q. Calculate the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of an element X which is represented as 31 X15 . 

Ans: 31 X15 .indicate that No. of proton=15 and mass number =31
         Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons = 31
         Number of neutrons = 31– number of protons = 31–15 = 16

13. Q. The atomic number of calcium and argon are 20 and 18 respectively, but the mass number of both these elements is 40. What is the name given to such a pair of elements?               

Ans: Isobars

14. Q. Why do Helium, Neon and Argon have a zero valency?

Ans: Helium, Neon and Argon have 2, 8 and 8 electron in outermost cell so they are having no need to gain or loss electrons. Hence they have zero valency.

15.Q. In what way the Rutherford proposed atomic model?

Ans: Rutherford proposed a model in which electrons revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits. There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. He also proposed that the size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is centered in the nucleus.

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

By
Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 ...

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page ...
