Deforestation can occur due to one of the following reasons:




Red Data Book is the source book which keeps a record of all the endangered animals and plants.
A magnet is a material that produces a field that attracts or repels other such materials of magnetic nature.
Lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet. It attracts materials like Iron, Nickel, Cobalt, etc.

A magnet is always bipolar with poles named north and south poles. These two poles always exist together and can not be separated. North pole of a magnet is the side which points to Earth’s geographic north when it is freely suspended.
Similar to charges, poles attract and repel. Like poles repel while unlike poles attract each other.
A bar magnet is a rectangular object, composed of iron, steel or any form of a ferromagnetic substance, that shows permanent magnetic properties. It has two different poles, a north and a south pole such that when suspended freely, the north pole aligns itself towards the geographic north pole of the Earth.
The region around a magnet where its magnetic influence can be experienced is called a magnetic field. The direction and strength of a magnetic field are represented by magnetic lines of force.

Iron filings around a bar magnet exhibit the magnetic field lines that engirdle the bar magnet. The magnetic field lines can be explained as imaginary lines that graphically represents the magnetic field that is acting around any magnetic substance.


Since magnets have dipoles, magnetic field lines must originate and end. Therefore by convention, it starts at the north pole and moves towards the south pole outside the bar magnet and from south → north inside the magnet. Hence, it forms closed loops.
Magnetic field lines do not intersect as there will be two tangential magnetic field directions associated with the same point, which does not occur. If a compass needle is placed at that point, it will show two different directions of the magnetic field which is absurd.
The closer or denser the magnetic field lines, greater is the magnetic field’s strength.
When electric current flows through a current carrying conductor, it produces a magnetic field around it. This can be seen with the help of a magnetic needle which shows deflection. The more the current, the higher the deflection. If the direction of current is reversed, the direction of deflection is also reversed.

An electromagnet is an artificial magnet which produces a magnetic field on the passage of electric current through a conductor. This field disappears when the current is turned off. The phenomenon of producing or inducing a magnetic field due to the passage of electric current is called electromagnetism.

When current is passed through a straight current-carrying conductor, a magnetic field is produced around it. Using the iron filings, we can observe that they align themselves in concentric circles around the conductor.

If a straight conductor is held in the right hand in such a way that the thumb points along the direction of the current, then the tips of the fingers or the curl of the fingers show the direction of magnetic field around it.

The right-hand thumb rule can be used for a circular conducting wire as well as it comprises of small straight segments. Every point on the wire carrying current gives rise to a magnetic field that appears as straight lines at the centre.

A solenoid is a coil of many circular windings wrapped in the shape of a cylinder. When current is passed through it, it behaves similar to a bar magnet, producing a very similar field pattern as that of a bar magnet. To increase the strength a soft iron core is used.

When an electric conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force. This force is directly proportional to the current and is also perpendicular to its length and magnetic field.

Force on a straight current carrying conductor is mutually perpendicular to the magnetic field and the direction of the current.
Fleming’s left hand rule states that the direction of force applied to a current carrying wire is perpendicular to both, the direction of current as well as the magnetic field.

Electric Motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.


The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is the production of induced EMF and thereby current in a coil, due to the varying magnetic field with time. If a coil is placed near a current-carrying conductor, the magnetic field changes due to a change in I or due to the relative motion between the coil and conductor. The direction of the induced current is given by Fleming’s right-hand rule.
According to Fleming’s right-hand rule, the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right hand are stretched to be perpendicular to each other as indicated below. If the thumb indicates the direction of the movement of conductor, fore-finger indicating direction of the magnetic field, then the middle finger indicates direction of the induced current.





Power losses in transmission lines over long distances occur due to Joule’s heating. This heat (H)∝l2R causes losses where R is the line resistance.
Chemical change – one or more new substances with new physical and chemical properties are formed.
Here, when copper sulphate reacts with iron, two new substances, i.e., ferrous sulphate and copper are formed.
Physical change – change in colour or state occurs but no new substance is formed.
Example: Water changes to steam on boiling but no new substance is formed(Even though steam and water look different when they are made to react with a piece of Na, they react the same way and give the exact same products). This involves only a change in state (liquid to vapour).
A chemical reaction can be determined with the help of any of the following observations:
a) Evolution of a gas
b) Change in temperature
c) Formation of a precipitate
d) Change in colour
e) Change of state
Chemical reactions are chemical changes in which reactants transform into products by making or breaking of bonds (or both) between different atoms.
Taking into consideration different factors, chemical reactions are grouped into multiple categories.
Few examples are:
● Combination
● Decomposition
● Single Displacement
● Double displacement
● Redox
● Endothermic
● Exothermic
● Precipitation
● Neutralisation
A word equation is a chemical reaction expressed in words rather than chemical formulas. It helps identify the reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
For example,
Sodium + Chlorine → Sodium chloride
The above equation means: “Sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride.”
A symbol is the chemical code for an element. Each element has one or two-letter atomic symbol, which is the abbreviated form of its name.
Valency is the combining capacity of an element. It can be considered as the number of electrons lost, gain or shared by an atom when it combines with another atom to form a molecule.
Representation of a chemical reaction in terms of symbols and chemical formulae of the reactants and products is known as a chemical equation.

• For solids, the symbol is “(s)”.
• For liquids, it is “(l)”.
• For gases, it is “(g)”.
• For aqueous solutions, it is “(aq)”.
• For gas produced in the reaction, it is represented by “(↑)”.
• For precipitate formed in the reaction, it is represented by “(↓)”.
According to the law of conservation of mass, no atoms can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the number of atoms for each element in the reactants side has to balance the number of atoms that are present in the products side.
In other words, the total mass of the products formed in a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of the reactants participated in a chemical reaction.
The chemical equation in which the number of atoms of each element in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side is called a balanced chemical equation.
Hit and trial method: While balancing the equation, change the coefficients (the numbers in front of the compound or molecule) so that the number of atoms of each element is same on each side of the chemical equation.
Example:
aCaCO3 + bH3PO4 → cCa3(PO4)2 + dH2CO3
Set up a series of simultaneous equations, one for each element.
Ca: a=3c
C: a=d
O: 3a+4b=8c+3d
H: 3b=2d
P: b=2c
Let’s set c=1
Then a=3 and
d = a = 3
b = 2c = 2
So a=3; b=2; c=1; d=3
The balanced equation is
3CaCO3 + 2H3PO4 → Ca3 (PO4)2 + 3H2CO3
Taking into consideration different factors, chemical reactions are grouped into multiple categories.

● Neutralisation
In a combination reaction, two elements or one element and one compound or two compounds combine to give one single product.
A single reactant decomposes on the application of heat or light or electricity to give two or more products.
Types of decomposition reactions:
a. Decomposition reactions which require heat – thermolytic decomposition or thermolysis.
b. Decomposition reactions which require light – photolytic decomposition or photolysis.
c. Decomposition reactions which require electricity – electrolytic decomposition or electrolysis.
More reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound or solution.

An exchange of ions between the reactants takes place to give new products.
For example, ![]()
An insoluble compound called precipitate forms when two solutions containing soluble salts are combined.![]()

Oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously.
Oxidation: Substance loses electrons or gains oxygen or loses hydrogen.
Reduction: Substance gains electrons or loses oxygen or gains hydrogen.
Oxidising agent – a substance that oxidises another substance and self-gets reduced.
Reducing agent – a substance that reduces another substance and self-gets oxidised.

Exothermic reaction – heat is evolved during a reaction. Most of the combination reactions are exothermic.
Al + Fe2O3 → Al2O3 + Fe + heat
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + heat
Endothermic – Heat is required to carry out the reaction.
6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Glucose
Most of the decomposition reactions are endothermic.
Gradual deterioration of a material, usually a metal, by the action of moisture, air or chemicals in the surrounding environment.
Rusting:
4Fe(s) + 3O2(from air) + xH2O(moisture) → 2Fe2O3.xH2O(rust)
Corrosion of copper:
Cu(s) + H2O(moisture) + CO2(from air) → CuCO3.Cu(OH)2(green)
Corrosion of silver:
Ag(s) + H2S (from air) → Ag2S(black) + H2(g)
