Class 7/8/9/10 - Science - Clean Air: From Donora to Delhi - Can we breathe safely? (#eduvictors)(#cbse-notes)

Clean Air: From Donora to Delhi -
Can we breathe safely?

With the industrial revolution, the human mankind experienced the air pollution for the first time and realized it as a potential threat to human life. The black smoke of locomotives, factories from the industrial towns of England blackened its cities.

In 1950s, the smoke of industrialized Pennsylvania valley in USA made the air murkier. In the small town of Donora, population 14,000, residents suffered eye, nose, and throat irritation and breathing difficulties resulting in 20 deaths.

In 2008, on the 60th anniversary of the event, the town opened the Donora Smog Museum with the
slogan "Clean Air Starts Here".

CBSE Class 10 - Biology - Study Notes about Plant Growth Hormones (Phytohormones) (#cbseNotes)

Plant Hormones (Phytohormones)

Plant hormones or phytohormones are small, simple chemical molecules, which are present in low concentration in plants and regulate growth, differentiation and development.


Two Categories of Phytohormones:

① Plant growth promoters: Examples are auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins.
② Plant growth inhibitors: Examples are abscisic acid, ethylene.


All about Auxins
⒈ Auxins are weakly acidic growth hormones.

⒉ Darwin (1880) was first to find about Auxins in the tip of canary grass.

⒊ These hormones are found in shoot apex, leaf Primordia and developing seeds.

PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS (Concept Points)

1. Early chemists classified elements as metals and non-metals on the basis of a set of physical and chemical properties.

2. Dobereiner classified elements on the basis of “Law of Triads” which states that “atomic mass of the middle element of a triad is almost the arithmetic mean of the other two elements”.


3. A triad of elements is a group of three elements arranged in the order of increasing atomic masses, such that a group of such elements have similar physical and chemical properties.


4. Newland classified elements on the basis of “Law of Octaves” stated by him. According to
this law :
“When the elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic mass, the properties of the eighth element (starting from a given element) are a repetition of the properties of the first element.”

CBSE Class 10 - Chemistry - Chapter 4 - Carbon and its Compounds - Important Points To Memorise (#cbsenotes)

Carbon and its Compounds 

Important Points To Memorise

1. Carbon forms a large variety of compounds because of its tetra-valency and the property of catenation.


2. Hydrocarbons are the compounds of carbon and hydrogen.


3. Hydrocarbons are of two types – saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) and unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes and alkynes)

CBSE Class 10 - Biology - Heredity and Evolution - Origin Of Life On Earth (Concept Points) (#cbseNotes)

Origin Of Life On Earth (Concept Points)

① Most scientists believed that life arose from nonliving matter, mostly from gases. It originated in primitive form in the oceans of the earth.

② 4 billion years ago, the primitive atmosphere was formed. It had little oxygen and was likely thick with water vapor, along with compounds released by volcanic eruptions, such as nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen.
