(1) In cold countries, in winter, a layer of ice is formed on the surface of lakes
when the atmospheric temperature falls below 0°C. However, below this
layer, there is water at 4°C.
(2) Ice, being a bad conductor of heat, does not allow transfer of heat from this
water to the atmosphere. Hence, aquatic animals and plants can survive in
this water.
(ii) (1) In the atoms of the inert gas elements ( zero group elements ), all the electronic
shells, including the outermost shell, are completely filled.
(2)
The electronic configuration is stable, and these elements do not lose or
accept electrons. These elements do not take part in chemical reactions.
These elements are gases. Hence, they are called noble gases.
(iii)
(1) Copper and aluminium are good conductors of electricity.
(2) Copper and aluminium have very low resistivity. Hence, when an electric
current flows through a wire of copper or aluminium, heat produced is
comparatively low. Therefore, for electric power transmission, copper or
aluminium wire is used.

(1) A rainbow is a natural spectrum that appears in the sky following a rain shower.
It is created by dispersion, internal reflection and refraction of sunlight by small
water droplets in the atmosphere.
(2) When sunlight is incident on a water droplet, there is (i) refraction and dispersion
of light as it passes from air to water (ii) internal reflection of light inside the
droplet and (iii) refraction of light as it passes from water to air.
(3) The refractive index of water is different for different colours, being maximum for
violet and minimum for red. Hence, there is dispersion of light ( separation into
different colours ) as it passes from air to water.
(4) The combined action of different water droplets, acting like tiny prisms, is to
produce a rainbow with red colour at the outer side and violet colour at the inner
side. The remaining five colours lie between these two.
The rainbow is seen when the sun is behind the observer and water droplets in

(ii) Data : h = 500 m, g = 10 m/s2,
v = 0 m/s, u = ?, t (for the object going up) + t (for the object coming down) = ?
As the object moves upward,
v2 = u2 + 2as
= u2 + 2 ( − g)h ( ∵ a = − g)
Now, v = 0 m/s
∴ u2 = 2gh = 2 × 10 m/s2 × 500 m
∴ u2 = (100 × 100) m/s2
∴ u = 100 m/s (initial velocity of the body)
Also, v = u + at = u − gt
For v = 0 m/s, u = gt
Now, t (for the object coming down) = t (for the object going up) = 10 s
∴ t (for the object going up) + t (for the object coming down)
= 10 s + 10 s = 20 s
It will take 20 s for the object to come back to the earth.
(v) The homogeneous mixture formed by mixing a metal with other metals or nonmetals
in certain proportion is called an alloy.

Q. 2. (A)
(i) (1) In cold countries, in winter, the temperature of the atmosphere falls below
0°C. When the temperature of water falls below 4°C, it expands. Hence, the
water in pipes expands. Even if ice is formed, there is an increase in the
volume.
(2) As there is no room for expansion, water (or ice) exerts a large pressure on
the pipes. Hence, the pipelines carrying water burst.
(2) All the elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons.
Therefore, elements in the same group should have the same valency.
For example, the elements of group I contain only one valence electron; the
valency of elements of group I is one. Similarly for group II, the valency is
two.
(iii) (1) A fuse is used to protect a circuit and the appliances connected in the circuit
by stopping the flow of an excessive electric current. For this, a fuse is
connected in series in the circuit.
(2) When the current in the circuit passes through the fuse, its temperature
increases. When the current exceeds the specified value, the fuse must melt
to break the circuit. For this, the material used for a fuse has low melting
point.

(b) If a bare live wire ( phase wire ) and a bare neutral wire touch each other ( come
