23.
The comparative study of Morphology and Anatomy of animals, reveal that they possess common set of characteristics.
(a) Homologous organs:
(i) The homologous organs are those which have inherited from common ancestors with similar developmental pattern in embryos.
(ii) E.g: The fore limbs of mammals are homologous structures. A Human hand, a front leg of a Cat, flipper of a Whale and a Bat's wing look dissimilar and adapted for different functions. Their mode of development and basic structure of bone are similar.
(b) Analogous organs:
(i) The analogous organs look similar and perform similar functions but they have different origin and developmental pattern.
(ii) The function of the wings of a Bat, the wings of a bird and wings of an insect are similar, but their basic structures are different.
(c) Vestigial organs:
(i) The degenerated and non-functional organs of animals are called Vestigial organs. The same organs are found to be well-developed and functional, in some of the related forms.

26.
Reversible Reactions: A reversible reaction is a reaction that can be reversed, i.e., the products can be converted back to the reactants. A reversible reaction is represented by a double arrow with their heads in the direction opposite to each other. Thus, a reversible reaction can be kept
Explanation: The compound 'AB' undergoes decomposition to form the products 'A' and 'B'. It is the forward reaction. As soon as the products are formed, they combine together to form 'AB': It is the backward reaction
PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + CI2(g)
Irreversible Reactions: The reaction that cannot be reversed is called irreversible reaction. Consider the combustion of coal into carbon dioxide and water.
C(s) + O2(g) ⟶ CO2(g)+ Heat
Coal oxygen Carbon dioxide
In this reaction, solid coal burns with oxygen and gets converted into carbon dioxide gas and water. As the product is a gas, as soon as it is formed it escapes out of the reaction container. It is hard to decompose a gas into a solid. Thus, the backward reaction is not possible in this case. So, it is an irreversible reaction
27.

| iii | Alpha, beta and gamma radiations are emitted. | Alpha ray, Positron, and neutrinos are emitted. |
| iv | Fission leads to the emission of gamma radiation. This triggers mutation in the human genes and causes genetic transform diseases. | Only light and heat energy is emitted. No harmful radiation and will not cause any genetic transform diseases. |
| v | Deflected by both the fields; but the direction of deflection is opposite to alpha rays. (in accordance with Fleming's left hand rule). | They are not deflected by both fields. |
29.
(i) Atom bomb is based on the principle of uncontrolled chain reaction.
(ii) In an uncontrolled chain reaction, the number of neutrons and the number of fission reactions multiply almost in a geometrical progression.
(iii) This releases a huge amount of energy in a very small time interval and leads to explosion.
Structure:
(i) An atom bomb consists of a piece of fissile material whose mass is sub critical.
(ii) This piece has a cylindrical void. It has a cylindrical fissile material which can fit into this void and its mass is also sub critical.
(iii) When the bomb has to be exploded, this cylinder is injected into the void using a conventional explosive.
(iv) Now, the two pieces of fissile material add up to form super critical mass which leads to an explosion.
(v) During this explosion tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat, light and radiation is released.
(vi) A very high temperature and pressure are experienced in fraction of second along with hazardous radiation like ૪ rays which adversely affect the living creatures.
30.
Statement of Boyle's law:
When the temperature of a gas is kept constant, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
∴ P α 1/V

In other words, for an invariable mass of a perfect gas, at constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is a constant.
Pressure x Volume = constant
PV = constant
31.
Cubical expansion:
(i) If there is an increase in the volume of a solid body due to heating, then the expansion is called cubical or volumetric expansion.
(ii) As in the cases of linear and areal expansion, cubical expansion is also expressed in terms of coefficient of cubical expansion. The ratio of increase in volume of the body per degree rise in temperature to its unit volume is called coefficient of cubical expansion. This is also measured in K-1.

(iii) The equation relating to the change in volume to the change in temperature is given below:
\(\frac { \triangle V }{ { V }_{ 0 } } \) = αv ΔT
ΔV - Change in volume
V0 - Original volume
ΔT - Change in temperature
αv - Coefficient of cubical expansion.
32.
(i) If there is an increase in the area of a solid object due to heating, then the expansion is called superficial or areal expansion.
(ii) Superficial expansion is determined in terms of coefficient of superficial expansion. The ratio of increase in area of the body, per degree rise in temperature to its unit area is called coefficient of superficial expansion. Coefficient of superficial expansion is different for different materials. Its SI unit is also per Kelvin.
(iii) The equation relating to the change in area to the change in temperature is given below:

\(\frac { \triangle A }{ { A }_{ 0 } } \) =αA ΔT
ΔA - Change in area
A0 - Original area
ΔT - Change in area
αA - Coefficient of superficial expansion
33.
Linear expansion:
(i) When a body is heated or cooled, the length of the body changes due to change in its temperature. This expansion is said to be a linear or longitudinal expansion.
(ii) The ration of increase in length of a body per degree celsius rise in temperature to its unit length is called the coefficient of linear expansion. Its SI unit is per Kelvin. The value of coefficient of linear expansion is different for different materials.

(iii) The equation relating the change in length to the change in temperature of a body is given below:
\(\frac { \triangle L }{ { L }_{ 0 } } \) =αL ΔT
ΔL - Change in length
L0 - Original length
ΔT - Change in temperature
αL - Coefficient of linear expansion.
34.
(i) When heat energy is supplied to a body, there can be an increase in the dimension of the object. This change in the dimension due to rise in temperature is called thermal expansion of the object.
(ii) The expansion of liquids (eg. mercury) can be seen when a thermometer is placed in warm water. All forms of matter (solid, liquid and gas) undergo expansion on heating.
(iii) When a solid is heated, the atoms gain energy and vibrate more vigorously. This results in the expansion of the solid.
(iv) The different types of expansion of solid are
i) Linear expansion
ii) Superficial expansion
iii) Cubical expansion
(v) When heated, the atoms in a liquid or gas gain energy and are forced further apart. The extent of expansion varies from substance to substance. For a given rise in temperature, a liquid will have more expansion than a solid and a gaseous substance has the highest expansion when compared with the other two.

(i) When a beam of white light or composite light is refracted through any transparent media such as glass or water, it is split into its component colours.
(ii) This phenomenon is called as 'dispersion of light'.
(iii) The band of colours is termed as spectrum. This spectrum consists of following colours: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red. These colours are represented by the acronym "VIBGYOR".
(iv ) When white light is refracted by a transparent medium. Different coloured lights are bent through different angles. That is the angle of refraction is different for different colours.
(v) Angle of refraction is the smallest for red and the highest for violet.
(vi) From Snell's law, we know that the angle of refraction is determined in terms of the refractive index of the medium.
(vii) Hence, the refractive index of the medium is different for different coloured lights.

(i) Refracting telescope
(ii Reflecting telescope
(i) Refracting telescope: Lenses are used in this kind of telescopes. Galilean telescope, Keplerian telescope, Achromatic refractors, Apochromatic refractors are some Refracting telescope.
(ii) Reflecting telescope: Parabolic mirrors are used in these kind telescopes. Gregorian, Newtonian, Cassegrain telescope, Ritchey- Chretien telescope are some Reflecting telescopes. According to the things which are observed, Astronomical Telescope and Terrestrial Telescopes are the two major types of telescope.

(i) Simple Microscope: Simple microscope is a convex lens of short focal length. It is held near the eye to get enlarged image of small objects.
(ii) Let an object (AB) of height 'h' is placed at a point within the principal focus (u < f) of the convex lens and the observer's eye placed just behind the lens.
(iii) As per this position the convex lens CJ produces an erect, virtual and enlarged image (A'B'). The image formed is in the same side of the object and the distance equal to the least distance of distinct vision (D) (D = 25 cm for normal human eye).

(iv) Magnification power (M): Ratio of the height of the image produced by the microscope h2) to the original height of the object (h1) is called magnification.
M=\(\frac { A'B' }{ AB } \)
Magnification M =\(\frac { height\ of\ the\ image }{ height\ of\ the\ object } \)
=\(\frac { { h }_{ 2 } }{ { h }_{ 1 } } \)
Magnification can also be defined as the ratio of distance of image (v) to the distance of object (u)
Magnification M =\(\frac { Distance\ of\ the\ image }{ Distance\ of\ the\ object } \)
=\(\frac { v }{ u } \)
Since, the image is virtual and erect; the Magnification (M) is taken as positive In simple Microscope,
when the image is formed at the near point
M=1+\(\frac { D }{ f } \)
when the image is formed at infinity
M=\(\frac { D }{ f } \).

(i) When a parallel beam of monochromatic (single coloured ) light passes through a gas or liquid or transparent solid, a part of light rays are scattered. This scattering is called Raman scattering (inelastic scattering).
(ii) Raman Scattering is defined as "The interaction of light ray with the particles of pure liquids or transparent solids, which leads to a change in wavelength or frequency".
(iii) The scattered light contains some additional frequencies (or wavelengths) other than that of incident frequency (or wavelength). This is known as Raman scattering or Raman Effect.
(iv) The modified lines are called 'Raman lines' and the unmodified lines are called as 'Rayleigh lines'. The lines having frequencies lower than the incident frequency is called stokes lines and the lines having frequencies higher than the incident frequency are called Anti-stokes lines.

Froth floatation:
(i) Principle: This process depends on the preferential wettability of the ore with oil (pine oil) and the gangue particles by water. Lighter ores, such as sulphide ores, are concentrated by this method. E.g. Zinc blende ZnS
(ii) Method: The crushed ore is taken in a large tank containing oil and water and agitated with a current of compressed air. The ore is wetted by the oil and gets separated from the gangue in the form of froth. Since the 4 ore is lighter, it comes on the surface with the froth and impurities are left behind

(i) Kalaivani's mother took a small PVC pipe which has water in it and held in a horizontal position. Water came out drop by drop. When she raised one of the ends of the pipe, the water through the other end came out with a greater speed. She said initially when I was holding the pipe in a horizontal position, pressure at the both the ends are same. So water did not come out. The difference in pressure (Pressure difference) between the two ends is zero. But when I raised one of the ends, the top end has high pressure, and the bottom end has low pressure. Due to this pressure difference, water came out with a faster rate. So compare a conductor or a wire to this PVC pipe The wire is connected to a battery, whose one end has higher potential and the other end has lower potential. Due to this difference in potential, electrons from negative terminal (lower potential end) flow towards the positive terminal (higher potential end). Here electron flow is compared with the water flow and the electric potential is compared with the pressure. Kalaivani felt very happy, after hearing her mother's genius explanation.
(ii) When Kalaivani asked how to understand about the concept of resistance from her mother's scientific explanations, her mother continued. If the water pipe is smooth inside, then there is no charge in the speed of flow of water. i.e., zero resistance. But when the pipe has some blocks inside at different points, the water changes its speed of flow at different points, likewise, whenever electrons flow inside the conductor, they may collide with each other, due to which their speed will be resisted (blocked), which forms as electrical resistance. Her explanation made Kalaivani satisfied.
(iii) When two resistors of resistances, R1 & R2 are connected in series to a battery source.
\({ R }_{ s }={ R }_{ 1 }+{ R }_{ 2 }\)
When R1 & R2 are connected in parallel,
\(\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ p } } +\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } +\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ p } } =\frac { { R }_{ 2 }+{ R }_{ 1 } }{ { R }_{ 1 }{ R }_{ 2 } } \)
\({ R }_{ p }=\frac { { R }_{ 1 }{ R }_{ 2 } }{ { R }_{ 1 }+{ R }_{ 2 } } \)

➝ 2n molecules |
if n = 1 then
| 1 molecule | + | 1 molecule | ⟶ | 2 molecules. |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule | + | \(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule | ➝ | 1 molecule |
