SCIENCE CLASS 10 – CHEAT SHEET

CHEMICAL REACTIONS & EQUATIONS


Important Types of Reactions:

- Combination: A + B → AB (e.g., CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂)

- Decomposition: AB → A + B (e.g., 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂)

- Displacement: A + BC → AC + B (Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu)

- Double Displacement: AB + CD → AD + CB (e.g., AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO₃)

- Redox = Reduction + Oxidation

Signs of chemical change: Gas, color change, temperature change, precipitate.

ACIDS, BASES & SALTS


- Acid: Turns blue litmus red, sour, gives H⁺ ions.

- Base: Turns red litmus blue, bitter, gives OH⁻ ions.

- Neutralization: Acid + Base → Salt + Water

- Important Salt: Baking soda – NaHCO₃ (used in cooking)

pH Scale:

- 0–6: Acidic

- 7: Neutral

- 8–14: Basic

LIGHT – REFLECTION & REFRACTION


Mirror Formulas:

- 1/f = 1/v - 1/u

- Concave = Real & Inverted (except when close → virtual)


- Convex = Virtual & Upright always

Lens Formulas:

- Convex lens focuses light

- 1/f = 1/v - 1/u

Dispersion: Splitting of white light into 7 colors

TIR: Total internal reflection (used in optical fibers)

ELECTRICITY
- V = IR → Ohm’s Law

- P = VI → Power

- R_total = R₁ + R₂ + ... (Series)

- 1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ... (Parallel)

More current flows in parallel, less in series.

LIFE PROCESSES
Key Processes:

- Nutrition:

- Plants → Photosynthesis (CO₂ + H₂O → Glucose + O₂)

- Humans → Ingestion → Digestion → Absorption → Assimilation → Egestion

- Respiration: Glucose + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + Energy (ATP)

- Transportation:

- Blood: RBC (O₂), WBC (defense), Platelets (clotting)


- Xylem (water), Phloem (food)

- Excretion: Kidneys → Nephron → Urine

QUICK DIAGRAMS TO PRACTICE


- Human digestive system

- Human excretory system (nephron)

- Electric circuit symbols

- Ray diagrams (concave mirror, convex lens)

MOST ASKED 1-MARK DEFINITIONS


- Redox Reaction

- Photosynthesis

- Ohm’s Law

- Nephron

- Dispersion

TIPS TO SCORE ABOVE 30/40


- Attempt diagrams with labels!

- Don’t leave MCQs blank — guess smart.

- Practice sample papers weekly.

- Use keywords in definitions.

- Write to the point. No story writing!
