Convection
Explanation:
Heat is a form of thermal energy borne as result of thermal energy. It is observed as temperature differences between places.
There are different types of heat transfer:
- Conduction
- Convection
- Radiation
Conduction is a heat transfer which involves the actual movement of the collision of the molecules of the medium.
Convection is a heat transfer in fluids by their movement from areas of higher to places of lower heat.
Radiation is heat transfer using electromagnetism and does not involve molecules of the medium
The process of heat transfer from ground to the air touching it is convection. It involves particles of the air.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that metals are the species which readily lose an electron and tend to attain a positive charge.
For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and its is an alkali metal. It electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.
And, in order to attain stability it readily loses an electron and thus it become 
ion.
Also, it is known that species which tend to transfer or donate their valence electrons to other atoms tend to form ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that the statement metal atoms held together by ionic bonds best describes a metal solid.
Answer:
Electrons are far apart from the nucleus as we move down the group.
Explanation:
The ionization energy is the amount of energy which is necessary to remove an electron from an atom.
In an atom there exist a force of attraction at the center (nucleus). This is because of the positive charge which exists in the nucleus. This force of attraction is less felt as the distance between the electron and the proton increases. Hence the ionization energy increases as the number of shells increases for an atom. As we move down the group in the periodic table, the number of shells increases which implies a decrease in ionization energy.
Answer: On increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.
Explanation:
An adsorption where molecules of the adsorbate are placed or held on the surface of adsorbent by Vander waals forces is called physisorption.
There is basically physical bonding between the molecules of gas to the surface of a solid or liquid.
Physisorption is reversible in nature and occurs at low temperatures.
It is not specific in nature which means that all gases are adsorbed on the surface of every solid substance to some extent.
Thus, we can conclude that on increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.
Because of pollution from factories and other activities that release harmful gases into the air
