Write the limitations of Mendeleeff's periodic table. |
|
Answer» (1) Anomalous pair of elements : Certain elements of highest atomic weights precede those with lower atomic weights. Ex : Tellurium (At.wt. 127.6) precedes Iodine (at.wt.126.9). (2) Dissimilar elements placed together : Elements with dissimilar properties were placed in same group as sub-group A and sub-group B. Ex : (1) Alkali metals like Li, Na, K, etc. of IA group have little resemblance with image metal like Cu, Ag, Au of IB group. (2) Cl is of VIIA group and 'Mn' is of VIIB.

Why do only valence electrons involve in bond formation? Why not electron of inner shells? Explain.(OR) Which shell electrons involve in bond formation? Explain. What is the reason behind it? |
|
Answer» 1. The nucleus and the electrons in the inner shell remain unaffected when atoms come close together. 2. But the electrons in the outermost shell (valence shell) of atoms get affected. 3. The inner shell electrons are strongly attracted by the nucleus when compared to the valence electrons. 4.

List any three observations which posed a challenge to mendeleev's Periodic Law. |
|
Answer» Limitations of Mendeleev’s periodic table : Inspite of many advantages, the Mendeleev’s periodic table has certain defects also. Some of these are given below - (i) Position of hydrogen : Position of hydrogen in the periodic table is uncertain. It has been placed in 1A group with alkali metals, but certain properties of hydrogen resemble those of halogens. So, it may be placed in the group of halogens as well. (ii) Position of isotopes : Isotopes are the atoms of the same element having different atomic masses. Therefore, according to Mendeleev’s classification these should be placed at different places depending upon their atomic masses. For example, hydrogen isotopes with atomic masses 1, 2 and 3 should be placed at three places. However, isotopes have not been given separate places in the periodic table because of their similar properties. (iii) Anomalous pairs of elements : In certain pairs of elements, the increasing order of atomic masses was not obeyed. In these, Mendeleev placed elements according to similarities in their properties and not in increasing order of their atomic masses. For example : • The atomic mass of argon is 39.9 and that of potassium 39.1. But argon is placed before potassium in the periodic table. |

a. It would cost a man Rs. 3.50 to buy 1.0 kW h of electrical energy from the Main Electricity Board. His generator has a maximum power of 2.0 kW. The generator produces energy at this maximum power for 3 hours. Calculate how much it would cost to buy the same amount of energy from the Main Electricity Boardb. A student boils water in an electric kettle for 20 minutes. Using the same mains supply he wants to reduce the boiling time of water. To do so should he increase or decrease the length of the heating element? Justify your answer. |
|
Answer» a. E = P X T SO, E = 3X2 = 6 kWh Cost of buying electricity from the main electricity board = 6 x 3.50 = Rs. 21.0 b. To reduce the boiling time using the same mains supply, the rate of heat production should be large. We know that P= V 2 /R. Since V is constant, R should be decreased. Since R is directly proportional to l so length should be decreased. |

How ozone is formed at the higher levels of the atmosphere? |
|
Answer» Oxygen molecule splits into atomic oxygen(O) at higher levels of an atmosphere because of higher energy of UV radiations: So, O2 ⇾ O + O Each of the atomic oxygen then combines with another oxygen (O2) molecule which gives rise to ozone (O3) O2 + O ⇾ O3(ozone). |

In the above circuit, if the current reading in the ammeter A is 2A, what would be the value of R1? |
|
Answer» 5 ohm, 10 ohm and R1 are in series 1/Rp = 1/5+1/10+1/R1 1/Rp = (2+1)/10 + 1/ R1 = 3/10 +1/ R1 1/Rp = (3 R1 +10)/10 R1 Rp= 10 R1 / (3 R1 +10) Now, 6 ohm, 6 ohm and Rp are in series Thus, Req = 12 + 10 R1 / (3 R1 +10) ------------------ (1) V = I Req From the circuit Req = 30/2 = 15 A ---------------(2) Equating (1) and (2) 12 + 10 R1 / (3 R1 +10) = 15 10 R1 / (3 R1 +10) = 3 10 R1= (9 R1 + 30) Thus, R1 = 30 ohm. |

You push a disk-shaped platform on it’s edge 2.0m from the axle. The platform starts at rest and has a rotational acceleration of 0.30 rad/s2. Determine the distance you must run while pushing the platform to increase it's speed at the edge to 7.0 m/s. |
|
Answer» R = 2 m α = 0.30 rad/s2 \(\vartheta\) = 7m/s We use the formula for kinematics of rotational motion to solve \(\omega^2-\omega_0\,^2\) = 2α(θ - θ0) ∵ \(\omega_0 - 0 \) \(\omega^2 = 2 \times0.30(\theta -\theta_0)\) ∵ \(\vartheta = r\omega\) \(\omega = \frac{\vartheta}{r}\) ⇒ \(\frac72 = 3.5 \) rad/s (3.5)2 = 2 x 0.30 (θ - θ0) (θ - θ0) = \(\frac{12.25}{0.6}\) (θ - θ0) = 20.41 rad Then S = rθ S = 2 x 20.41 S = 40.83 m |

Ansari Sir was demonstrating an experiment in his class with the setup as shown in the figure below.A magnet is attached to a spring. The magnet can go in and out of the stationary coil.He lifted the Magnet and released it to make it oscillate through the coil. Based on your understanding of the phenomenon, answer the following questions.a. What is the principle which Ansari Sir is trying to demonstrate?b. What will be observed when the Magnet starts oscillating through the coil. Explain the reason behind this observation.c. Consider the situation where the Magnet goes in and out of the coil. State two changes which could be made to increase the deflection in the galvanometer.ORIs there any difference in the observations in the galvanometer when the Magnet swings in and then out of the stationary coil? Justify your answer. |
|
Answer» a. Sir is trying to demonstrate the principle of Electromagnetic induction. b. There will be induced current in the coil due to relative motion between the magnet and the coil. Changing the magnetic field c. sing a stronger magnet, using a coil with more number of turns. OR When the magnet moves into the coil, the ammeter shows a momentary deflection towards one side say left. When the magnet moves out of the coil, the ammeter shows a momentary deflection now towards right. This is due to changing magnetic field /flux associated with the coil as the magnet moves in and out. Alternatively, the flux increases when the magnet goes in and it decreases when the magnet goes out. |
