SECTION D 2X4=8
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each.
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
29. The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table,
organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns
(called groups) according to increasing atomic number. Scientists use the periodic
table to quickly refer to information about an element, like atomic mass and
chemical symbol. The periodic table’s arrangement also allows scientists to discern
trends in element properties, including electronegativity, ionization energy, and
atomic radius. Many scientists worked on the problem of organizing the elements,
but Dmitri Mendeleev published his first version of the periodic table in 1869, and
is most often credited as its inventor.
1. What are Transuranium elements? Give an example.
2. Write the general outer electronic configuration of p-block elements.
3. List any two properties of s-block elements.
OR
Name the group of elements in the periodic table which borders a zig zag
line which runs across the p-block. Give two examples.

30. Every system is associated with a definite amount of energy,called the internal energy U of
the system. It is the sum of chemical, electrical, mechanical or any other form of energy that
anyone can may think of. However gravitational energy is generally necklaces neglected. It is a
state function, i. e. independent of the path followed? It is an extensive property i.e. depends
upon the mass of a substance. It depends only on temperature. The absolute value of internal
energy possessed by a substance cannot be calculated because it is not possible to predict the
exact values of different forms of energy. Thus, we can just calculate the change in internal
energy which is achieved by changing the state of a system. First law of thermodynamics was
proposed by Helmholtz and Robert - mayer who stated that the energy in of an isolated system is
constant. i.e. energy can neither we created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form
to another. That's why it is also called law of conservation of energy. When a system undergoes
isothermal ΔU = zero i.e. there is no increase or decrease in the internal energy of the system
then the first law of thermodynamics reduces to 0=q + w or q = -w.
1. State the first law of thermodynamics.
2. Differentiate between extensive and intensive property.
3. Write the difference between open and closed system with an example for each.
