5. Evaporation is a phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapour at any temperature 
below its boiling point. 
When evaporation occurs, the particles of the liquid absorb heat from the surrounding 
to regain the energy lost during evaporation. This absorption of energy from the 
surrounding makes the surrounding cool.

6. Drawbacks of Rutherford’s Model of an Atom: 
? Rutherford’s atomic model could not explain how moving electrons remain in their 
orbits. 
? Any charged particle during acceleration would radiate energy, and while revolving, 
it would lose its energy and eventually fall into the nucleus. 
? This means that the atom would be highly unstable. 
? But, matter is composed of stable atoms. 
? So, the major drawback of Rutherford’s atomic model was that it could not explain 
the stability of atoms.

methods:

one another.

plants with the help of techniques of biotechnology. 
(b) Crops are selected for intercropping based on different nutrient requirements and 
different sowing and harvesting patterns of crops, e.g. soybean and maize.

(a)When acetone is poured on the palm, it takes up the latent heat of vaporisation 
required to change from the liquid state to vapour state from our hand. The hand 
loses heat and gets cooled. 
(b)The earthen pot has small pores in its walls. Some of the water continuously seeps 
out from these pores. This water evaporates and absorbs heat of vaporisation from 
the remaining water. Thus, the remaining water loses heat and gets cooled. 
(c) Larger the surface area, faster will be the cooling. Evaporation is a surface 
phenomenon. The particles of tea on the surface absorb the heat for vaporisation 
from the remaining particles of the tea and evaporate. The tea thus loses heat and 
cools faster.

1/4 mole of sulphur dioxide will have the same number of molecules as 1/4 mole of 
oxygen. So, we convert 1/4 mole of oxygen into mass in grams. 
1 mole of oxygen, O2 = Mass of 2 'O' atoms 
                             = 2 × 16 
                           = 32 grams 
Now, 1 mole of oxygen = 32 grams 
 
Thus, 8 grams of oxygen will contain the same number of molecules as 16 grams of 
sulphur dioxide.
