36. The cockroach belongs to insects where as the scorpion belongs to arachnids
37.Energy is the ability to exert work.
38. The symbol of sodium is Na where as the symbol of sulphur is S
V. Give reasons:
18.Wood floats on the water surface while a piece of lead sinks.
because wood is less dense than water so it floats while lead is more dense than
water so it sinks .
19.An ice cube changes into liquid water after a period of time.
because it has low melting point also heat increases the intermolecular distances
& therefore the solid becomes liquid.
20.The screwdrivers electricians use are made from steel iron & they have wooden
handles.
Because steel is a good conductor of electricity while wood is a bad conductor of
electricity.

21.When salt is added to water it disappears.

because the salt goes into the intermolecular spaces between the water molecules.
22.The volume of a mixture of water and alcohol is less than the sum of their
volumes before being mixed together.
because the alcohol molecules occupy the intermolecular spaces of water .

23.A piece of iron isn’t broken by hands.

Because the intermolecular force between the iron molecules is strong.
7. The smell of perfume spreads from an open bottle all over the room.
The perfume molecules which carry the smell of the perfume spread in the air.
8. The atom is electrically neutral.
The number of positive protons is equal to the number of negative electrons.
24.The 3rd energy level (M) in the atom is saturated with 18 electrons.
because by applying the rule 2n2, M= third level so 2x(3)2 = 18 electrons.
7
 25.The equation 2n2 is not applied to levels higher than the 4th level.
because the atom will be unstable if the energy level carries more than 32
electrons.
26.Neon gas does not react chemically with other substances.
Because its outer most energy level is completely filled with 8electrons so it is stable
and inactive.
10.The front teeth of the hedgehog extend outwards.
To catch insects.
11.The mule (the offspring from mating between the donkey & horse) isn’t fertile .
because the horse & donkey are two different species.
12.Some birds have long and thin beaks and long legs with thin toes.
They have long thin beaks to pick up worms and snails and long thin legs to help
them walk in the water.
13.Some plants pounce (catch and feed on) insects.
To get the nitrogenous compounds they need to make proteins.
14.The forelimbs of the dolphin are different from the bat's limbs.
Forelimbs of dolphin are modified into paddles for swimming while forelimbs of the
bat are modified into wings for flying.
15.Cooking pots are made from aluminum & their handles are made from wood or
plastic.
Aluminum is good conductor of heat while wood or plastic are bad conductors of
heat.

Second Question
A. Give Reasons for the following :
1. Water isn’t used to extinguish a fire caused by petroleum oil.
The density of petroleum oil is less than water therefore it floats on
the surface of water & keeps burning.
2. Electric wires are made of copper.
Copper is good conductor of electricity.
3. Screwdrivers are made of steel while their handles are made of plastic.
The screwdriver is made of steel which is a good electric conductor
while the handle is made of plastic which is an electric insulator.
4. Insectivorous plants feed on insects.
The insect is source of nitrogenous compound needed for the
growth of the plant.

 B. Fill in the blanks in the table then answer the following question.
substance Mass (g) Volume (cm 3) Density (g/ cm 3)
A 20 10 2
B 10 20 ½
C 10 10 1
2. Which substance of the 3 (A, B or C) floats on the surface of the water?
B floats on the surface of water because its density is less than 1 g/ cm 3
3. Which substance (A, B or C) sinks in the water?
A sinks in the water because its density is more than 1 g/ cm 3

Third Question:
A. Circle the letter that represents the right answer:
1. The following shapes have the same mass. Which one has the smallest density?
c , because it has the biggest volume
a. .b c.

2. Which bulb illuminates & why ?

1. The following animals have internal support.
a. reptiles & jelly fish. b. reptiles & birds. c. fish & octopus.

2. The following substances react with oxygen strongly when they ‘re
exposed to moist air.

23
 b. Silver and gold. b. Iron and aluminium c. Potassium and
sodium

C. Match a statement in column A with the suitable word in column B:

A B
1. Helium is lagomorphs ( 2)
2. Rabbits belong to Indented teeth to feed on mosses ( 5 )
3. A hydrogen molecule consists of 1 sodium atom & 1 chlorine atom ( 4 )
4. A sodium chloride molecule
2 similar atoms ( 3)
consists of
5. Ducks have
a noble gas (1)

2 atoms of sodium & 1 atom of chlorine

( )
Fourth Question
A. Give reasons for the following:
1. The locusts are classified as insects while scorpions are
classified as arachnids.
The locust has 3 pairs of legs like other insects while the scorpion has
4 pairs of legs like other arachnids.
2. Neon molecules are monoatomic.
Neon doesn’t react & is chemically inactive because its 2nd energy
level is saturated with 8 electrons , so each molecule is made of one
atom only.

B. What’s meant by the following:

1. The atomic number.
The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom

24
2. Adaptation
The modification of the structure or function of the living organism to
suit the environmental conditions.

3. A compound
It results from the combination of atoms of different elements in
constant mass ratio.
B. Underline the right answer:
5. Arachnids have ……….. pairs of legs
a. 3 b. 4 c. 6
6. The building unit of matter is …………
a. the molecule b. the electron c. the neutron
7. 50 ml of alcohol were added to 150 ml of water . The final volume of
the mixture is
a. 200 ml b. more than 200 ml c. less than 200 ml
8. The forelimbs of bats are modified into
a. paddles b. wings c. hooves
