SECTION – A
1. Which element exhibits the property of catenation to maximum extent and why ?
2. Name the method by which hydra reproduces. Is this method sexual or asexual ?
3. We often use the word environment. What does it mean ?
4. AB and CD, two spherical mirrors, form parts of a hollow spherical ball with its centre at O as shown in the diagram. If arc AB = 1/2 arc CD, what is the ratio of their focal lengths ? State which of the two mirrors will always form virtual image of an object
placed in front of it and why.
5. What is sustainable development ? State its two main objectives.
6.List four causes of damage to forests.
7. Write the name and molecular formula of an organic compound having its name suffixed with ‘ol’ and having two carbon atoms in its molecule. Write balanced chemical equation to indicate what happens when this compound is heated with excess
conc. H2SO4 and the name of main product formed. Also state the role of conc. H2SO4 in the reaction.
