Combustion

When we burn coal or wood in a burner or a stove, we see that the coal becomes extreme heat (burning lava) while burning. After some time we see that when the burner cools down, the coal finishes and the ash remains.

Fuel

We use wood, cow dung cakes, kerosene (kerosene), bio gas or (LPG) gas in the stove for cooking. Scooters and buses run on diesel, petrol and (CNG) roads. In the fields, the tractor also runs on diesel.

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are compounds of hydrogen and carbon. They are found in petroleum and natural gases. Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10) are some examples of hydrocarbons.

Carbon monoxide

We often read the news in the newspapers that on seeing it in the morning it was found that some people were found dead in a closed room, who were sleeping by burning coal in the fireplace.

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is 0.03 percent of the total volume of air. This gas is produced by burning of fuel, by respiration and by rotting of animals and plants (vegetables) and is added to the atmosphere.

Types of Carbon

Carbon is found in two forms - (1) crystalline (crystal-forming) and (2) amorphous (shapeless). Crystalline atoms are arranged in an order. Diamond and graphite are two forms of carbon.

Salts

Common salt is one of the common salts that is used mainly in our daily life. The chemical name of common salt is sodium chloride (NaCl). Another such salt is Soda, which is chemically named sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3).

Alkali

In your daily life, you use different types of soaps and detergents. Washing and cleaning clothes are done with their help. These substances contain alkalis, which are chemically hydroxides or oxides of metals and react with water to form hydroxides.

Acids

You must have seen and eaten many such substances in your life, which have a sour taste. Some examples of these substances are lemon, tamarind, vinegar, orange and yogurt.

Separating Components of Mixture

If some substances are mixed by mistake, then they need to be separated from each other, but sometimes it is very difficult to separate them. In such situations we use a variety of special methods, such as filtering, gleaning, sublimation, evaporation, precipitation to easily separate substances.

Mixtures

If you add some sugar or salt to the water, we see that in a short time they dissolve in the water and then do not appear in the water.

Elements and Compounds

There are many substances that consist of the same type of atoms, such as oxygen, hydrogen, gold, copper, silver, iron, nitrogen, chlorine, sulfur, magnesium, aluminum. Such substances which consist of the same type of atoms are called elements.

States of Matter

Matter can be divided into three groups - solids, liquids and gases, depending on their states.

Matter - Atoms and Molecules

We see many things around us such as a table, chair, book, glass, hills, mountains, river, birds, animals, sun, moon and stars. All the objects seen around us are either born naturally or made by humans.

Food and Nutrients

Whenever we feel hungry, we eat food. Food not only ends our hunger but also gives us energy. Food gives energy to do some essential elements required for the important works of the body.

Sensory Organs

Organs which tell us about the presence, element or taste of any objects are called sensory organs. We can see, listen or feel by these organs. We have five sensory organs - eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin.

Nervous System

All the coordinating activities are done by our brain and nerves which is called nervous system.

Excretion System

Every cell of our body keeps on doing something or the other. Therefore, some garbage is always found there. These elements are harmful and should not be collected in body. It should be thrown out of the human body.

Circulatory System

How digested food from food pipe and absorbed food from body reaches every cell? Carbon dioxide from all body parts and other waste elements related to waste materials (kidney, lungs)? All there works are done by a pump (heart) and artery coming out and reaching there.

Respiratory System

All living organisms including humans breathe. Our body needs energy for many activities 24 hours a day. This energy is used inside the cells during breathing. It uses oxygen to disintegrate glucose from food.

Digestion System

 Every organism needs food to live. There are five steps of nutrition or food intake to its usage.

Skeleton and Muscle System

We are movable. We are not static at one place. We move from one place to another. We can also move our hands, legs, head and so on. All these movements are possible by the mixture of two systems in human body - bones and muscles. All bones together make skeleton system and all muscles together make muscle system.

How New Plants are Formed?

Every organism whether plant or organisms reproduces his species and gives birth to new ones. Giving birth to a child of its own type is called reproduction. Plants reproduce in two ways - through seeds or by stem or leaves.

Nutrition and Food Production in Plants

Nutrition is the process in which an organism (even if it is a plant or organism) intakes food and makes it to be used by the body and then use it.

Evaporation in Plants

Roots of plants take a lot of water inside them. This water moves to the top to bottom of the leaves being used as water and source of mineral salts for photosynthesis.

Respiration in Plants

Plants do breathe in the same way as other organisms. They get energy to do many activities in their body, for example, energy is required to make starch out of glucose.

Fruits

Fruits are made from flowers. Mango, jamun or java plum, pomegranate, strawberry are fruits and tomatoes, cucumber are included in vegetables are also fruits. There is a seed present inside the fruit. For example - mango and tomato gas more than one seeds.

Flowers

Flowers are also present in the stem of the plant. Flowers are the reproductive organ of plants.

Leaves

Leaves are green colored thin and long structure from stem. This part of plant has different shapes. Leaves make food for plants. This process is called photosynthesis.

Stem

Part of the plant above soil is called stem or trunk. This is the most important part of shoot system with stamen, buds, leaves etc. Most of smaller parts have soft and green stem which move easily.

Energy from Atoms

Chemical energy is related to the type of chemical conversion in which each atom of a reagent retains its identity and there is no change in its behavior and nature. But there are also some energy conversion processes in which the nuclei of some atoms remain unchanged.
