Q1. An inorganic compound is a compound where the main constituent or substance is not that of Carbon but predominantly other elements, such as I, N etc. An organic compound is one where the main substituent or main element, the element found in much greater amounts would be Carbon.
Q2. Water is considered a very good solvent, because of its ability to dissolve well with mostly all other polar compounds, and produce ions from those ionic compounds.
A. Hydrogen atoms
B. Oxygen atom.
Answer : Malik's experiment included to create artificial atmospheric oxygen; in order to perform experiment on red-legged grasshopper for growing it larger than normal, the part of recreating or mimicking the artificial oxygen for the experiment with additional 10% increase seems to be bit difficult and this may create a problem in defining the accuracy and precision for the experiment.
Answer:
- <u>The container must be built of lead, and it should be kept in a concrete vault.</u>
Explanation:
The goal is to contain the <em>gamma rays</em> to<em> reduce</em> the <em>exposure </em>to their harmful <em>radiation</em>.
The gamma rays are the most energetic electromagnetic radiation: they have the smallest wavelength, the largest frequency, and the largest energy from all the electromagnetic radiations.
Due to that, only very dense substances like lead and concrete can stop the gamma rays. In the case of concrete, large blocks with thick walls are required.
Thus, in a lab the best container for a sample of uranium - 238 that is decaying, emitting gamma rays, must be built of lead, and enclosed in a conrete vault.
