(c) X2Y, ionic (d) X4Y2, ionic
9. The graph below shows the time taken by four metals ‘L’, ‘M’, ‘N’, and ‘O’ to release hydrogen when they are
made to react with diluted HCl. Arrange the metals in decreasing order of their reactivity.
10. Element X is used to prevent rancidity of food items in packet foods and element Y is lightest
element. Element X reacts with element Y to form compound Z. What is the formula of compound Z.
Explain how element X and Y form bond with each other to form Z. Support your answer by suitable
electron dot diagram.
11 (a) Give IUPAC nomenclature for the following:
(i). CH3-CH2-CH(OH)-CH3
2/4
(ii). CH3-CH(Cl)-CH2=CH2
(b) Rohan has a saturated alcohol ‘X’ of the chemical formula C4H9OH. Write the chemical formula
of a member that comes two places after ‘X’ in the same homologous series. How much will its
molecular mass differs from that of ‘X’. How do you compare their chemical properties?
SECTION – C
12. A scientist is conducting an experiment using a convex lens with a focal length of 15 cm. The lens is placed at
the 42.7 cm mark on the optical bench. The scientist asks four researchers, A, B, C, and D, to predict the location
of the screen needed to capture a sharp image of a distant object. The positions suggested by the researchers
were:
(i) 12.7 cm (ii) 29.7 cm (iii) 57.7 cm (iv) 72.7 cm
13. A student sitting at the back of the classroom cannot read clearly the letters written on the blackward. What
advice will a doctor give to her? Draw ray diagram for the correction of this defect.
14. The diagram given below shows an object O and image I.
Without actually drawing the ray diagram, state the following:
(a) Type of lens (Converging/Diverging)
(b) Name two optical instruments where such an image is obtained.
(c) List three characteristics of the image formed if this lens is replaced by concave mirror of focal length 'f' and
an object is placed at a distance 'f/2' in front of the mirror
15. Explain giving reason why the sky appears blue to an observer from the surface of the earth. What should the
appearance of the sky be during the day for an astronaut staying in the international space station orbiting the
Earth? State reason to justify your answer.
16. Pranav has too much enthusiasm to celebrate the end of winter season and welcomes the season of
fruitfulness with family members and relatives. In the evening all family members gather up and move
in a circle around the bonfire. At particular moment, Pranav observe that the apparent position of object, as
seen through the hot air or beyond and above the fire changes continuously. After sometimes, he find that this
phenomena can also be used to explain several observation around us.
(a) Name the phenomenon which could explain the wavering of objects above a fire.
(b) Define the phenomena observed by Pranav.
(c) Name two observations which can be explained by the above phenomena.
