SECTION- A
Very Short Answer Type Questions : [9×1=9]
Q1. Write any two limitations of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table. [1]
Q2. Why carbon forms such a large variety of organic compounds? [1]
Q3. Canada is the largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world, generating our 60% of its electricity using
hydroelectric dams. The source of energy for a hydroelectric dam is water. Power is generated or manufactured
in large power generating stations using the same principle as small grist mill yet on a much larger and vastly
improved scale for better efficiency. These electrical generators are attached to massive turbine devices which
spin at great speeds as a result of water rushing through them. The power station turbines extract the kinetic
energy from moving water and convert that energy into electrical energy through generators. (Dynamo)
Q3(a) What is the frequency of alternating current in India? [1]
