EXTRA QUESTIONS:
Q. Why the bulb glows when the electric current passes through it?
Ans. Due to the heating effect of current, the filament of the bulb gets heated to a high temperature and it starts glowing.
Q. Write a short note on:
(a) LED
Ans. LED- Light Emitting Diodes are used for lighting.
There are two wires(called leads) attached to a LED. One lead is longer than the other.
Longer lead- connected to positive terminal of battery
Shorter lead- connected to negative terminal of battery
Advantages over CFL- LEDs consumes less electricity • LEDs glow even in weak current • CFL contain mercury which is toxic and hence CFLs require safe disposal

Disadvantages over CFL- LEDs are expensive

Q. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid form but their aqueous solution conduct electricity. Why?
Or
Common salt does not conduct electricity but its aqueous solution conduct electricity. Why?
Ans. Ionic compounds (e.g.- Common salt) have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between their constituent ions. Thus ions are strongly held and cannot move. Therefore, cannot conduct electricity.
Aqueous solution means solution prepared by dissolving in water. Water has a high dielectric constant(ability to screen charges or ability to separate opposite ions in ionic compounds) and thus diminish the attraction of the two opposite charges. Ions are now free to move and thus conduct electricity.

NCERT QUESTIONS:
Q. When the free ends of a tester are dipped into a solution, the magnetic needle shows deflection. Can you explain the reason?
Ans. The magnetic or compass needle shows deflection due to magnetic effect of electric current. This proves that the given solution is a conducting solution as circuit is complete and current is flowing through the wire wrapped around magnetic compass resulting in deflection of magnetic needle.

    LED (Light-Emitting Diode) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It resembles a basic p-n junction diode (is a boundary or interface between two types of semiconductor material, p-type and n-type, inside a single crystal of semiconductor., which emits light when activated. When a fitting voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semi-conductor. An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2) and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962, [9] the earliest LEDs emitted low-intensity infrared light. Infrared LEDs are still frequently used as transmitting elements in remote-control circuits, such as those in remote controls for a wide variety of consumer electronics. The first visible-light LEDs were also of low intensity, and limited to red. Modern LEDs are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.…

    A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for general lighting. Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.When a light-emitting diode is switched on, electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2), and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. LEDs have many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size, and faster switching. However, LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive, and require more precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output.Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as aviation lighting automotive lighting, advertising, general lighting, and traffic signals. LEDs have allowed new text, video displays, and sensors to be developed, while their high switching rates are also useful in advanced communications technology. Infrared LEDs are also used in the remote control units of many commercial products including televisions, DVD players and other domestic appliances. LEDs are also used in seven-segment display.…

    An ionic compound forms from a nonmetal and metal element. A covalent compound is formed by two non metal elements. A metallic compound is formed by two metal elements. Metallic compounds have generally high melting points, are loose and flexible with their electrons, conduct electricity well, and have low solubility in water. Ionic compounds are generally crystals, have a high melting point, and usually have high solubility in water and conduct electricity well when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have individual molecules, have a low melting point, and do not conduct electricity, and their solubility in water depends on the type of covalent bond.…

    Chemistry - Factors Affecting Electrochemical Cells - Design

    The conductance of an electrolyte depends upon the number of ions present in the solution. Therefore, the greater the number of ions in the solution the greater is the conductance. The number of ions produced by an electrolyte depends upon its nature. The strong electrolytes dissociate almost completely into ions in solutions and, therefore, their solutions have high conductance. On the other hand, weak electrolytes dissociate to only small extents and give lesser number of ions. Therefore, the solutions of weak electrolytes have low conductance.…

    Chemical Bonding

    An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed due to the attraction between an atom that has lost one or more electron (known as a cation) and an atom that has gained one or more electrons (known as an anion). Usually, the cation is a metal atom and the anion is a non-metal atom. It is important to recognize that pure ionic bonding - in which one atom "steals" an electron from another - cannot exist: all ionic compounds have some degree of covalent bonding, or electron sharing. Thus, the term "ionic bond" is given to a bond in which the ionic character is greater than the covalent character - that is, a bond in which a large electronegativity difference exists between the two atoms, causing the bond to be more polar (ionic) than other forms of covalent bonding where electrons are shared more equally. Bonds with partially ionic and partially covalent character are called polar covalent bonds. Nevertheless, ionic bonding is considered to be a form of no covalent bonding. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution, but not as a solid. They generally have a high melting point and tend to be…

    Design for Function and Marketability

    The conversion of electrical energy into radiant energy is relied on inelastic scattering of electrons inside the tube. Low pressure mercury vapor is injected into the tube. When the tube is connected to electricity, electrons emitted from the tube by the high temperature filament. The electrons moving in collide with the mercury atoms. Such collisions transfer kinetic energy in electrons to the mercury atoms. By absorbing this extra energy, the outermost shell electron in mercury atoms jump to a higher energy state, which is unstable to stay. A photon is emitted and this excited electron moves back to its original position. According to Planck’s law,…

    CFL "energy savers", fluorescent tubes and many other conventional lamps use higher frequency alternating current to excite harmful chemicals to emit light. One 5 foot 1,5meter tube contains enough mercury to contaminate a swimming pool. Billions have been dumped into waste disposal. Heavy metal poisons have a cumulative effect. In the long term these cannot be a "fix" for the energy crisis we face today. They are poisoning our earth and also us directly through the food chain and locally with emission of harmful UV. So "Energy savers" are in the writers opinion very dangerous and should be banned.…
