How to balance a chemical equation
We take the reaction of formation of water.
H2 + O2 --> H2O (unbalanced equation for formation of water)
This equation can be balanced by using certain steps as mentioned below.
Step I: list the number of atoms of each element present on both sides of arrow.
|
|
Reactant |
Product |
|
H |
2 |
2 |
|
O |
2 |
1 |
Step II: Begin balancing with the compound having maximum number of atoms. Following this rule we select H2O. Here there are 2 oxygen atoms on the reactant side but only 1 oxygen atom on the product side. So equation is unbalanced. In order to balance we need to do following step.
|
|
Reactant |
Product |
|
Initial oxygen atom |
2 |
1 |
|
To balance |
2 |
1 X 2 |
So the equation stands out to be
H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
Step III: After balancing oxygen the equation is H2 + O2 à 2H2O. So now we need to balance hydrogen atom.
|
|
Reactant |
Product |
|
Initial hydrogen atom |
2 |
4 |
|
To balance |
2 X 2 |
4 |
So the final equation stands out to be
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

This reaction is an example of a displacement reaction.
Here Aluminum is more reactive metal than Fe. Therefore Al will displace Fe from its oxide. This type of chemical reactions in which one of the element displace another is called as displacement reaction. Here less reactive metal is displaced by more reactive metal. Since one-time displacement is occurring, therefore, it is called as single displacement reaction.
Displacement reaction is applicable in both non-metals and metals.

Nervous system and endocrine system are responsible for control and coordination of complex, multicellular human body with multiple organ systems of complex functioning. Endocrine secretions (hormones) regulate proper growth and development and functioning of different organs. Nervous system enables us to respond to our surroundings and to perform daily activities. It does so by sensing external and internal stimuli followed by a relay of sensory information to CNS (Central Nervous System) for processing and generation of motor output, i.e., involuntary and voluntary actions.

biomagnification is the increase in concentration of the persistant toxicant at successive trophic levels. It happens because a toxic substance accumulated by an organism cannot be metabolised or excreted and is thus passed onto the next higher trophic level.

Unisexual reproduction |
Bisexual reproduction |
|
Organism posses either male and female organs, are unisexual |
Organism posses both male and female organs, are unisexual |
|
Flower that contains either Stamen (male *** organ) or pistil (female *** organ). |
Flower that contains both Stamen (male *** organ) and pistil (female *** organ). In this case reproduction takes place through self pollination and cross pollination |
Yogita Ingle 5 years, 4 months ago
| Flowers which have only one *** organ (either stamen or carpel) are known as unisexual flowers. | Flowers which have both *** organs (stamen and carpel) are known as bisexual flowers. |
| Example: flowers of papaya, watermelon. | Example : flowers of hibiscus, mustard plants. |

Metals are an excellent conductor of electricity and heat because the atoms in the metals form a matrix through which outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective atoms, they form a sea of electrons that surround the positive nuclei of the interacting metal ions. The electrons then move freely throughout the electron sea.

In a combination reaction two or more substances are combined to form new substance while in the decomposition reaction one substance decomposes into two or more substances. Hence, the decomposition reactions are called opposite of combination reactions.
Decomposition reaction <i>CaCO3 (s) ⇨ CaO (s) + CO2 (g)</i>
Combination reaction <i>H2 (g) + Cl2 ⇨ 2HCl (g)</i>

Chemical reactions can be classified in following types:
- Combination Reaction
- Decomposition Reaction
- Displacement Reaction
- Double Displacement Reaction
- Oxidation and Reduction Reaction
Gaurav Seth 5 years, 4 months ago
The basis for different types of reactions is the product formed, the changes that occur, the reactants involved and so on. Different types of reactions are
- Combustion reaction
- Decomposition reaction
- Neutralization reaction
- Redox Reaction
- Precipitation or Double-Displacement Reaction
- Synthesis reaction

Structure of a Nephrons:
- Nephrons are the basic filtering units of kidneys.
- Each kidney possesses large number of nephrons, approximately 1-1.5 million.
- The main components of the nephron are glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, and a long renal tubule.
Functioning of a Nephron:
- The blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, which branches into many capillaries associated with glomerulus.
- The water and solute are transferred to the nephron at Bowman’s capsule.
- In the proximal tubule, some substances such as amino acids, glucose, and salts are selectively reabsorbed and unwanted molecules are added in the urine.
- The filtrate then moves down into the loop of Henle, where more water is absorbed.
- From here, the filtrate moves upwards into the distal tubule and finally to the collecting duct. Collecting duct collects urine from many nephrons.
- The urine formed in each kidney enters a long tube called ureter. From ureter, it gets transported to the urinary bladder and then into the urethra.

When a leaf is examined under the microscope, we observe many tiny pores, which are collectively called stomata.
Functions of Stomata
The major function of stomata is the exchange of gases by taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and giving out oxygen that is used by human beings and animals. They help in photosynthesis and transpiration.

- Object at infinity
- Object between infinity and centre of curvature (C)
- Object at centre of curvature (C)
- Object between centre of curvature (C) and Principal focus (F)
- Object at Principal Focus (F)
- Object between Principal Focus (F) and Pole (P)
Object at infinity:
Since parallel rays coming from the object converge at principal focus, F of a concave mirror; after reflection. Hence, when the object is at infinity the image will form at F.

Fig: Object at Infinity
Properties of image:
- Point sized
- Highly diminished
- Real and inverted
Object between infinity and Centre of Curvature:
When object is placed between infinity and centre of curvature of a concave mirror the image is formed between centre of curvature (C) and focus (F).

Fig: Object Between Infinity and C
Properties of image:
- Diminished compared to object
- Real and inverted
Object at Centre of Curvature (C):
When the object is placed at centre of curvature (C) of a concave mirror, a real and inverted image is formed at the same position.

Fig: Object at C
Properties of image:
- Same size as object
- Real and inverted
Object between Centre of curvature (C) and Principal Focus (F):
When the object is placed between centre of curvature and principal focus of concave mirror, a real image is formed beyond the centre of curvature (C).

Fig: Object between C and F
Properties of image:
- Larger than object
- Real and inverted
Object at Principal Focus (F):
When the object is placed at principal focus (F) of a concave mirror, a highly enlarged image is formed at infinity.

Fig: Object at F
Properties of image:
- Highly enlarged
- Real and inverted
Object between Principal Focus (F) and Pole (P):
When the object is placed between principal focus and pole of a concave mirror, an enlarged, virtual and erect image is formed behind the mirror.

The availability of ions is very important to conduct electricity. Distilled water is a pure type of water which does not contain any ions in it. Whereas rainwater contains dissolved gasses such as SO2, CO2. These gases dissolve in water to form some kind of acids like carbonic acids which dissociates to give ions. Thus rainwater is conducting electricity while distilled water is not conducting electricity.
