NCERT Solution, MCQs, Study Notes, Q & A 1.Define the term, functional group and give two examples for it.  Ans: An atom or a group of atoms on which properties of the carbon compound depends is known as functional group. Eg: - OH-            Alcoholic - CHO        Aldehydic - CO           Ketonic  - COOH     Carboxylic 2. Name the functional groups present in the following compounds. CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 -OH;  CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH ; CH 3 -CH 2 -CHO;CH 3 COCH 2 CH 2 CH 3   Ans: CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 -OH          Alcoholic  CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH     Carboxylic CH 3 -CH 2 -CHO              Aldehydic CH 3 COCH 2 CH 2 CH 3      Ketonic 3. Describe the preparation of ethanol by the fermentation process.  Ans: Fermentation of sugar is a process in which the sugar molecules are broken down in the ethylalcohol and carbon dioxide by the action of enzymes called invertage and zymase which are present in yeast. Molasses the bi-product of the sugar industry is mixed wi

  Class X NCERT Solution, MCQ's Study Notes, Q & A  Chapter 10 – Light - Reflection and Refraction Q.1.Why does a light ray incident on a rectangular glass slab immersed in any medium emerge parallel to itself? Ans: The extent of bending of the ray of light at the opposite parallel faces AB (air-glass interface) and CD (glass-air interface) of the rectangular glass slab is equal and opposite. This is why the ray emerges parallel to the incident ray.      OR, (The glass slab is rectangular and both sides of the glass slab have the same medium. The light refracts in such a way that incident and emergent rays are parallel.) Q.2.An object is placed at a distance of 10cm from a convex mirror of focal length of 15cm . Find the position and nature of the image Solution: Given :   f = +15cm          u = -10cm        v = ?’ 1/ f = 1/u +1/v   1/15 = -1/10 + 1/v 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/v 1/v = 1/6       v = 6cm Position of the image: Since V is formed at a distance o

NCERT Solution, MCQs, Study Notes, Q & A By JSUNIL Q.1:  The average atomic mass of a sample of   an element X is 16.2 u. What is the % of isotopes 16 8 X     and   18 8 X in the sample? Ans:  Let % of isotopes 16 8 X   is y then   18 8 X in the sample is 100-y 16.2 = y% of 16 + (100-y)%of18 Þ 16.2 x100 = 16y+1800-18y Þ 1620-1800 =-2y Þ 180=2y Þ y = 90% % of isotopes 16 8 X   is y =   90%   then 18 8 X in the sample is 100-y =100-90=10% Q2: Why is it not possible to see an atom with naked eyes? Answer : The size of an atom is so small that it cannot be seen by naked eye or by simple optical instruments. e.g. Considering an atom a sphere, the radius of Hydrogen atom is approximately 10nano-metres (1 nm = 10 -9 m). To see atoms of different elements, a special type of microscope called scanning tunnelling microscope  (STM) is used. Q3: Name the element having following Latin names (i)   Stibium          (ii)  Cuprum        (iii) Argentum
