(IV) Answer briefly
(1) State the law of conservation of mass.
Answer :
Conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only change form one form to another form of matter.
(2) State the law of constant proportions.
Answer :
The law of constant of proportion is sates that, in a pure chemical compound the elements are always present in definite proportion by mass.
(3) Write the properties of anode rays.
Answer :
Properties of anode rays :
(a) Anode rays travel in straight lines.
(b) Anode rays are made up of material particles
(c) Anode rays are deflected by electric and magnetic fields and they are deflected towards negatively charged particles.
(d) The properties of anode rays depends upon the nature of the gas taken inside in the discharge tube.
(4) Define valency of an element with respect to hydrogen.
Answer :
The combining capacity of an atom is known as valency . the valency of the hydrogen can be defined as the number of hydrogen atom combine with one atom of it. Valency of hydrogen atom is one.
(5) Define the term ions or radicals.
Answer :
An atoms or the group of an atoms when they either lose or gain electrons are known as ions or radicals. There are two types of ions or radicals anions and cations.
(6) What is a chemical equation?
Answer :
Chemical equation is a short hand representation n of a chemical reactions with the help of chemical symbols and formulae. Chemical equation has reactant and product.

(VI) Higher Order Thinking Questions.
(1) Why does a light paddle wheel placed in the path of cathode rays begin to rotate, hen cathode rays fall on it?
Answer :
A light paddle wheel placed in the path of cathode rays being to rotate when cathode rays fall on it because cathode rays are made of material particles which have mass and kinetic energy and this energy is used for rotation therefore cathode rays being to rotate the peddle wheel.
