Heat:
It is a form of energy, which makes any object hot or cold.
Temperature: The degree of hotness of an object is called temperature. Our sense of touch is not reliable to measure the temperature.
Thermometer is a device used for measuring temperatures.
Heat is the cause of temperature.
Clinical thermometer is used to measure our body temperature.
Transfer of Heat: Heat flows from a hotter object to a colder object until both objects reach the same temperature.
The heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.
There are three ways in which heat can flow from one object to another.
These are conduction, convection and radiation.
Conduction: It is the process by which heat is transferred from the hotter end to the colder and end of an object.
Convection: It is the flow of heat through a fluid from places of higher temperature to places of lower temperature by movement of the fluid itself.
Radiation: It is the mode of transfer of heat in which energy is directly transferred from one place to another.
It does not need any material medium.
Dark-coloured objects absorb radiation better than the light-coloured objects.
That is the reason we feel more comfortable in light-coloured clothes in the summer.
Woollen clothes keep us warm during winter.
It is so because wool is a poor conductor of heat and it has air trapped in between the fibres.
Thermometer:
Thermometer is a device used for measuring temperatures.
Clinical thermometer:
Clinical thermometer is used to measure our body temperature.
A thermometer used to measure the temperature of our body is called a clinical thermometer.
For other purposes, we use the laboratory thermometers.
The range of these thermometers is usually from –10°C to 110°C.
The normal temperature of the human body is 37°C.
It consists of a long, narrow, uniform glass tube with a bulb containing mercury at one end.
There is a kink near the bulb.
The range of clinical thermometer is from 35°C to 42°C. (Or from 94°F to 108°F).
Laboratory Thermometer:
Laboratory Thermometer: It is a thermometer used to measure the temperature of objects other than our body.
It consists of a column of mercury enclosed in a glass casing.
The column is continuous without any kink.
It measures a range of temperature from -10˚C to 110˚C.
Sea Breeze:
Sea Breeze: Durign the day, the land heats up faster than the sea.
Warm air above the land rises and cold air from sea takes its place.
Warm air from the land moves towards the sea to compele the cycle.
This produces a sea breeze from the sea to the land.
Land Breeze:
Land Breeze: At night the land cools faster than sea.
The warm air above the sea rises.
This warm air is replaced by colder air from the land producing a land breeze.

Micro-organisms are found in air, water and in the bodies of plants and animals.They may be unicellular or multicellular.
Micro-organisms are classified into four major groups. These groups are bacteria,fungi, protozoa and some algae.
Viruses are quite different from other micro-organisms. They reproduce only inside
Micro-organisms: Friend and Foe
Based on the significance, micro-organisms can be useful or harmful.
Uses Of Microorganisms
Protozoan cause serious diseases like dysentery and malaria.
Some bacteria and blue green algae present in the soil fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert into nitrogenous compounds.
Certain bacteria convert compounds of nitrogen present in the soil into nitrogen gas which is released to the atmosphere.
Pathogens: Some of the microorganisms cause diseases animals. Such disease causing microorganisms are called pathogens.
Cleaning of Environment: The microorganisms decompose dead organic waste
of plants and animals converting them into simple substances. These substances are again used by other plants and animals.
Microorganisms can be used to degrade theharmful and smelly substances and thereby clean up the environment.

Plane figure

The figures which we can be drawn on a flat surface or that lie on a plane are called Plane Figure.

Example – Circle, Square, Rectangle etc.

Solid figures

The 3D shapes which occupy some space are called Solid Figures.

Example – Cube, Cuboid, Sphere etc. (Scroll down the till the end of the page)

Study Tools

Volume

Space occupied by any solid shape is the capacity or volume of that figure. The unit of volume is a cubic unit.

Surface Area

The area of all the faces of the solid shape is its total surface area. The unit of surface area is a square unit.

Lateral or Curved Surface Area

The surface area of the solid shape after leaving the top and bottom face of the figure is called the lateral surface of the shape. The unit of lateral surface area is a square unit.

Example

What is the surface area of a cereal box whose length, breadth and height is 20 cm, 8 cm and 30 cm respectively?

Solution

Given, length = 20 cm, breadth = 8 cm, Height = 30 cm

Total surface area of the cereal box = 2(lb + bh + lh)

= 2(20 × 8 + 8 × 30 + 20 × 30)

= 2(160 + 240 + 600)

= 2(1000) = 2000 cm².

Surface Area and Volume of a Right Circular Cylinder

If we fold a rectangular sheet with one side as its axis then it forms a cylinder. It is the curved surface of the cylinder. And if this curved surface is covered by two parallel circular bases then it forms a right circular cylinder.

Curved surface area of a Right circular cylinder	2πrh
Total surface area of a Right circular cylinder	2πr² + 2πrh = 2πr(r + h)
The volume of a Right circular cylinder	πr²h
	r = radius, h = height

Surface Area and Volume of a Hollow Right Circular Cylinder

If a right circular cylinder is hollow from inside then it has different curved surface and volume.

Curved surface area of a Right circular cylinder	2πh (R + r)
Total surface area of a Right circular cylinder	2πh (R + r) + 2π(R² – r²)
	R = outer radius, r = inner radius, h = height

Surface Area and Volume of a Hollow Right Circular Cylinder

Solution

Given, h = 22 cm, R = 7 cm, r = 6 cm (thickness of the wall is 1 cm).

Total surface area of a hollow cylinder = 2πh(R + r) + 2π(R²– r²)

= 2(π) (22) (7+6) + 2(π)(7²– 6²)

= 572 π + 26 π = 598 π

= 1878.67 cm²

Surface Area and Volume of a Right Circular Cone

If we revolve a right-angled triangle about one of its sides by taking other as its axis then the solid shape formed is known as a Right Circular Cone.

Curved surface area of a Right Circular Cone	πrl = πr[√(h² + r²)]
Total surface area of a Right Circular Cone	πr²+ πrl = πr(r + l)
The volume of Right Circular Cone	(1/3) πr²h
	r = radius, h = height, l = slant height

Solution

Given, volume of cone = 523.33 cm³

Volume of cone = Volume of Sphere

Volume of sphere = 100 π cm³

125 = r³

r = 5

Surface area of a sphere = 4πr²

= 314.28 cm².

Chemical Reactions and Equations
Any process that involves the rearrangement of structure of the substance or conversion of reactants into products is defined as Chemical Reaction.
For a Chemical Reaction to occur, the change can be observed in the form of –
Change in State: Melting of ice into water.
Change in Colour: Iron rusting which has colour change from silver to reddish brown.
Change in Temperature: There are two types of reaction i.e Exothermic and Endothermic Reaction.
Exothermic Reactions: Those reactions in which energy is released in the form of heat are called Exothermic Reactions.
Examples –
(1) All combustion reactions e.g.
CH₄+ 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O + Heat
(2) Thermite reactions e.g.
2A1 + Fe₂O₃ —> 2Fe + Al₂O₃ + Heat
Combinations are generally exothermic in nature. The decomposition of organic matters into compost is an example of exothermic reaction.
Endothermic Reactions: Those reactions in which energy is absorbed are called Endothermic Reactions.
Examples –
also, the reaction of photosynthesis –
Evolution of any gas: When Zinc reacts with sulphuric acid it gives hydrogen gas.
Zn + H2 SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
Formation of Precipitate: When a soluble carbonate reacts with Barium, Barium Carbonate precipitate can be observed.
Change in State
Some chemical reactions are characterised by a change in state.
When wax is burned (in the form of wax candle,) then water and carbon dioxide are formed.
Now, wax is a liquid whereas carbon dioxide is a gas. This means that during the combustion reaction of wax, the physical state changes from solid to liquid and gas.
Physical Change
In this change identity of the substance remains same.
For Example, Melting, Boiling etc.
Chemical Change
The identity of the substances change
Reactants are converted into substance due to formation or broken down of older bonds
Chemical Equation
The symbolic representation of chemical reaction using symbols and formulae is known as Chemical Equation. For this, reactants are written on the left hand side whereas products are written on the right.
Balanced Chemical Equation
A balanced chemical equation is the one where the number of atoms involved in reactants side is equal to number of atoms on product side.
Eq.1. Example of Balanced Chemical Equation
Steps to form Balanced Equation
To show how to balance the equation, the following equation is used-
Fe + H₂O → Fe₃O₄ + H₂
Step 1: First of all, draw the boxes around each formula as shown below-
Step 2: Find out the number of atoms of each element. For Example, on reactant side, 1 for Fe, 2 H, and 1 O and on product side we have, 3 for Fe, 4 for O and 2 for H.
Step 3: Start to balance the equation with the compound having maximum number of atoms. While balancing does not alter the formula of the compound.
Step 4: One by one balance each element on reactant and product side.
Step 5: After balancing number of atoms on both the side of the equation, finally check the correctness of the balanced equation.
Step 6: then write the symbols of the physical state of reactants and products as shown below-
3Fe(s) + 4H₂O (g) → Fe₃O₄ (s) + 4H₂ (g)
This above equation represents the balanced equation.
Balancing a Redox Reaction
The basic ionic form of the equation is-
Fe²⁺ + Cr2O7^2- → Fe³⁺ + Cr³⁺
Oxidation half reaction is-
Reduction half reaction is-
Use the reduction half method to balance the equation. Balance the atoms in each half of the reaction except H and O atoms.
Cr2O7^2- (aq) → 2 Cr³⁺(aq)
Add water molecules as the reaction is taking place in acidic solution. This is to balance the O atoms and hydrogen ions.
Cr2O7^2- (aq) + 14 H⁺(aq) → 2 Cr³⁺(aq) + 7H2O (I)
Then balance the charges in both half reactions.
Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + e^–
Cr2O7^2- (aq) + 14 H⁺ + 6e^– → 2 Cr³⁺+ 7H2O
6 Fe²⁺(aq) → 6 Fe³⁺(aq) + 6e^–
Two half of the equations are added to get the overall reaction
6Fe²⁺(aq) + Cr2O7^2-(aq) + 14H⁺(aq) → 6Fe³⁺(aq) + 2Cr³⁺(aq) + 7H2O (I)
Types of Chemical Reaction
Combination Reaction is reaction when single product is formed from the combination of two or more reactants. For Example-

Eq.2. Example of Combination Reaction
Reactions can be exothermic as well as endothermic. Exothermic reaction release heats and raises the temperature of the surroundings. For Example, Respiration is an example of exothermic reaction.
Eq.3. Example of Exothermic Reaction
Endothermic reaction involved the absorption of the heat and thus it cools the surrounding. The decomposition of dead organic material is an endothermic reaction.
Decomposition Reaction is type of reaction which involves breakdown of single reactant into simpler products. Decomposition of silver chloride into silver and chlorine in presence of sunlight is an example of decomposition reaction.
Eq.4. Example of Decomposition Reaction
Displacement Reaction is a reaction in which more reactive element will displaces the less reactive element.
Eq. 5. Example of Displacement Reaction
Double Displacement Reaction is a type of reaction in which cations and anions in the reactants switch the places to form new products.
Eq. 6. Example of Double Displacement Reaction
Redox Reaction is also known as Oxidation-reduction Reaction. In this type of reaction transfer of electrons occurs between the two species. Oxidation is defined as addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. Reduction is defined as removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen. Oxidizing agent is the one which gains the electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Reducing agent is oxidized in a chemical reaction and it loses the electrons. Fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent. Formic acid is a reducing agent
Eq.7. Example of Redox Reaction
Corrosion
Metals are prone to corrosion. It is a slow conversion of metals into some undesirable compounds. This occur may be due to reaction with oxygen, gases, acids etc. When irons reacts with atmospheric oxygen and moisture, a red layer is formed on the surface of the iron, this process is known as Rusting.
Eq. 8. Equation for Iron Rusting
Rancidity
When food containing fats and oils are exposed to the atmosphere, the oxidation of fat and oil occurs, this is known as Rancidity.
Methods to Prevent Rancidity
Store cooking oils from direct sunlight.
Food should be placed at low temperature.
By adding antioxidants food can be protected from rancidity.
Chemical Reactions and Equations
Minimize the use of salts in fried foods.

Crop : When plants of the same kind are grown and cultivated at one place on a large scale,
it is called a crop.
In India, crops can be broadly categorised into two types based on seasons – Rabi and Kharif crops. Sowing of seeds at appropriate depths and distances gives good yield.
Good variety of seeds are sown after selection of healthy seeds.
Sowing is done by seed drills.
Soil needs replenishment and enrichment through the use of organic manure introduction of new crop varieties.
Basic practices of crop production:
(i) Preparation of Soil: One of the most important tasks in agriculture is to
turn the soil and loosen it.
The process of loosening and turning of the soil is
called tilling or ploughing.
(ii) Sowing: Sowing of seeds at appropriate depths and distances gives good yield.
Good variety of seeds is sown after selection of healthy seeds. Sowing is done by seed
drills.
(iii) Adding Manure and Fertilisers Soil needs replenishment and enrichment through the use of organic manure and fertilisers.
Use of chemical fertilisers
fertilisers has increased tremendously with the introduction of new crop varieties.
Fertiliser: The inorganic compounds containing nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. They are made in the factories.
Example: ammonium sulphate, potash, etc.
Manure: A natural substance prepared from decomposition of plant and animal wastes (cow dung, animal bones, dead leaves, dead insects and vegetable wastes) by t(he action of microbes.
iv) Irrigation : Supply of water to crops at appropriate intervals is called
irrigation. Method of Irrigation:
(a)Tradition methods of Irrigation: Moat, Chain pump, Dheki, Rahat.
(b) Modern methods of Irrigation: Sprinkler system, Drip
(v) Protection from Weeds: Weeding involves removal of unwanted and
uncultivated plants called weeds.
(vi) Harvesting: Harvesting is the cutting of the mature crop manually or by
machines.
(vii) Storage Proper storage of grains is necessary to protect them from pests
and microorganisms.
Harvested food grains normally contain more moisture than
required for storage.
Large scale of storage of grains is done in silos and granaries to
pest like rats and insects.
Farmers store grains in jute bags or metallic bins.
Food is also obtained from animals for which animals are reared.
