Class 10 is a crucial turning point in a student's academic career, and passing the CBSE exams depends on possessing the correct reference books.
When choosing science books for standard 10 students, it is important to consider a few key factors, including the level of difficulty, relevance to the curriculum, and engagement level. Here are some tips to help you choose the best science books for standard 10 students:
Question: What are different types of chemical reactions?
Answer:
There are several different types of chemical reactions, including:
Study the following case study and answer the questions given below:
Water is a simple molecule consisting of one oxygen atom bonded to two different hydrogen atoms. Because of the higher electronegativity of the oxygen atom, the bonds are polar covalent (polar bonds). The oxygen atom attracts the shared electrons of the covalent bonds to a significantly greater extent than the hydrogen atoms. The molecule has a bent structure, the H—O—H bond angle is about 105°.
Q1. In which of the following, heat energy will be evolved?
(a) Electrolysis of water
(b) Dissolution of NH4Cl in water
(c) Burning of L.P.G.
(d) Decomposition of AgBr in the presence of sunlight
Q1. What is oxidation?
Answer: Addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen from a compound is known as oxidation.
Elements or compounds in which oxygen or non-metallic element is added or hydrogen or metallic element is removed are called to be oxidized.
1. At present about 118 elements are known.
2. Elements can be divided into two main groups: metals and non-metals.
3. Elements which form positive ions by losing electrons are called metals. Thus, metals are the elements which have the tendency to lose electrons.

Activity Steps
Step 1: Take a potted plant with variegated leaves – for example, a money plant or croton.
Step 2: Keep the plant in a dark room for three days so that all the starch gets used up.
Step 3: Now keep the plant in sunlight for about six hours.
Step 4: Pluck a leaf from the plant. Mark the green areas in it and trace them on a sheet of paper.
Step 5: Dip the leaf in boiling water for a few minutes.
Step 6: After this, immerse it in a beaker containing alcohol.
Step 7: Carefully place the above beaker in a water bath and heat till the alcohol begins to boil.
What happens to the colour of the leaf? What is the colour of the solution?
Step 8: Now dip the leaf in a dilute solution of iodine for a few minutes.
Take out the leaf and rinse off the iodine solution.
Observe the colour of the leaf and compare this with the tracing of the leaf done in the beginning.
What can you conclude about the presence of starch in various areas of the leaf?
