 | Parth Nambiar answered |
Desert
Desert is a geographical region that is characterized by extreme dryness and lack of precipitation. It is a vast expanse of land that receives very little rainfall, and as a result, vegetation is scarce, and sand is abundant.
Endless stretch of sand
Deserts are often associated with endless stretches of sand dunes, but this is not always the case. While sand dunes are a common feature of many deserts, there are also rocky deserts, and deserts that are characterized by vast plains of gravel and dirt.
Without rainfall
Deserts are defined by their lack of rainfall, with many receiving less than 10 inches of rain per year. This lack of rainfall is often due to their location, such as being situated in areas that are far from oceans or other moisture sources.
Without vegetation
The extreme dryness of deserts means that vegetation is scarce, with many deserts being home to only a few types of plants that are adapted to the harsh desert environment. These plants often have specialized adaptations to help them survive in the arid conditions, such as the ability to store water in their leaves or roots.
All of the above
In conclusion, deserts are characterized by their lack of rainfall, scarcity of vegetation, and often vast stretches of sand or rocky terrain. These features make deserts some of the most inhospitable places on Earth, but they are also home to a variety of unique and fascinating plant and animal species that have adapted to the harsh desert environment.

| | Geetika Shah answered |
The chemical symbol Na+ represents a sodium ion. The atomic number of sodium (Na) is 11, which means it has 11 protons.
Given that Na+ has 12 neutrons, we can determine the mass number by adding the number of neutrons to the number of protons. So, for Na+:
Given that Na+ has 12 neutrons, we can determine the mass number by adding the number of neutrons to the number of protons. So, for Na+:
Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons Mass number = 12 neutrons + 11 protons Mass number = 23
The atomic number remains unchanged because it is determined by the number of protons, which is characteristic of each element. The loss or gain of electrons to form ions does not change the atomic number.
Therefore, the correct statement is: Na+ has an atomic number equal to 11 and a mass number of 23.

SI Units of Measurement
SI units are the International System of Units, which is the modern form of the metric system. It is used in scientific and technical fields as a standard system of measurement. The SI system has seven base units, which are used to derive all other units of measurement.
SI Units of Temperature, Pressure, Density and Volume
Temperature: The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K), not Celsius (°C).
Pressure: The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa), not atm (atmosphere).
Density: The SI unit of density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3).
Volume: The SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m3). However, liter (L) is also commonly used as a non-SI unit of volume. 1 L = 1000 cm3 = 1 dm3.
Conclusion
Option B is not correct because the SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa), not atm (atmosphere). Atm is a non-SI unit of pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

70-80 % of volume of a mature plant cell is occupied by
a)
endoplasmic reticulum
b)
nucleus
c)
cytoplasm
d)
vacuole
| | Naina Sharma answered |
The mature cell has simple tissues rather than meristematic tissues so they will not divide and plant cell needs vacuole to make itself rigid and various excretion and storage works are also done by the vacuoles.
So, the vacuoles perform majority of the tasks of the plant cell and hence this is the reason, a mature plant cell has 70-80% of vacuoles in them.

| | Bhaskar Chatterjee answered |
Incorrect Statement: Matter is continuous in nature.
Explanation:
Matter is made up of small particles called atoms and molecules that have mass and occupy space. These particles are not continuous but are separated by empty spaces. Therefore, the statement that "matter is continuous in nature" is incorrect.
Evidence Supporting the Correct Statements:
a) Matter is made up of particles:
The concept of matter being made up of small particles was first proposed by the Greek philosopher Democritus in the 5th century BC. This idea was later supported by scientists like John Dalton, who proposed the atomic theory of matter in the 19th century. Today, we know that matter is made up of atoms and molecules.
b) Particles of matter are always in a state of motion:
Particles of matter are always in motion, even when they appear to be at rest. This motion can be either random or organized. The kinetic theory of matter explains that the temperature of matter is related to the speed of its particles. When matter is heated, the particles move faster and vice versa.
d) Particles of matter attract each other:
Particles of matter attract each other due to the presence of forces like gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces. These forces allow particles to stick together and form larger structures like molecules, crystals, and even planets.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the statement that "matter is continuous in nature" is incorrect. Matter is made up of small particles that are separated by empty spaces. These particles are always in motion and attract each other due to the presence of forces.
Explanation:
Matter is made up of small particles called atoms and molecules that have mass and occupy space. These particles are not continuous but are separated by empty spaces. Therefore, the statement that "matter is continuous in nature" is incorrect.
Evidence Supporting the Correct Statements:
a) Matter is made up of particles:
The concept of matter being made up of small particles was first proposed by the Greek philosopher Democritus in the 5th century BC. This idea was later supported by scientists like John Dalton, who proposed the atomic theory of matter in the 19th century. Today, we know that matter is made up of atoms and molecules.
b) Particles of matter are always in a state of motion:
Particles of matter are always in motion, even when they appear to be at rest. This motion can be either random or organized. The kinetic theory of matter explains that the temperature of matter is related to the speed of its particles. When matter is heated, the particles move faster and vice versa.
d) Particles of matter attract each other:
Particles of matter attract each other due to the presence of forces like gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces. These forces allow particles to stick together and form larger structures like molecules, crystals, and even planets.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the statement that "matter is continuous in nature" is incorrect. Matter is made up of small particles that are separated by empty spaces. These particles are always in motion and attract each other due to the presence of forces.

| | Arun Sharma answered |
There is also one mole of oxygen atoms weighing 16.00 grams in the mole of water and that of hydrogen is 2.00 gram.
To get the percentage of hydrogen, divide the 2 by 18 and multiply by 100.
i.e. Percentage of hydrogen = (2/18) x 100 = 11.11%
To get the percentage of hydrogen, divide the 2 by 18 and multiply by 100.

Representation of 1 mole of nitrogen gas
- 1 mole of any substance is defined as the amount of the substance that contains Avogadro's number of particles, which is approximately 6.023 x 10^23.
- Nitrogen gas, represented by the chemical formula N2, is a diatomic molecule made up of two nitrogen atoms.
- Therefore, 1 mole of nitrogen gas contains 6.023 x 10^23 N2 molecules.
Options and their representation
a) 6.023 x 10^23 N2 molecules
- This option is correct as it represents 1 mole of nitrogen gas, which contains Avogadro's number of N2 molecules.
b) 22.4 L of N2 at STP
- This option is also correct as 1 mole of any gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) occupies 22.4 L of volume.
- Therefore, 1 mole of nitrogen gas at STP occupies 22.4 L of volume.
c) 6.023 x 10^23 nitrogen atoms
- This option is incorrect as 1 mole of nitrogen gas contains 6.023 x 10^23 N2 molecules, which means it contains twice the number of nitrogen atoms.
- Therefore, 1 mole of nitrogen gas contains 2 x 6.023 x 10^23 nitrogen atoms, which is not represented by this option.
d) 28 g of nitrogen
- This option is correct as the molar mass of nitrogen gas (N2) is approximately 28 g/mol.
- Therefore, 1 mole of nitrogen gas weighs 28 g.

Yeah as no.of protons= electrons
Number of electrons will be 3 so configuration will be 2,1 so therefore that element will need to give 1 electron to satisfy duplet rule.
If I am not wrong is the element Beryllium???

- Assertion (A) is true: Water droplets form on the outer surface of a glass containing ice-cold water because the cold temperature of the glass causes moisture in the air to condense.
- Reason (R) is false: Water does not evaporate from the glass and condense on the outside. Instead, the moisture in the surrounding air condenses on the cooler surface of the glass.
- Therefore, the correct option is C: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
- Reason (R) is false: Water does not evaporate from the glass and condense on the outside. Instead, the moisture in the surrounding air condenses on the cooler surface of the glass.
