Sulphur dioxide gas exhibits bleaching properties in presence of moisture. It dissolves in water liberating nascent hydrogen. Coloring matter is bleached by reaction with nascent hydrogen. Nascent hydrogen removes oxygen atoms from the coloring matter (reduces coloring..

. Cathode rays can ionise gases. Cathode rays can penetrate through thin sheets of aluminium and silver without perforating them. They can produce fluorescence in many substances. When they impinge on a metal of high atomic weight, X-rays are produced. Measurements of their deflection by electric a..

Question: Define Inertia. Answer: Inertia is the property of matter by virtue of which it opposes any change in its state of rest or state of uniform motion along a straight line..

The classification of matter into three different states, namely solid, liquid and gaseous state is termed as the physical classification of matter. Most properties of solid, liquid and gases that can be observed with our sense organs are called as 'macroscopic' ..

Inertia can be defined as the property of matter by virtue of which it opposes any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight lin..

Dulong and Petit Law (Specific Heat of Solids) - In 1819, two French physicists Dulong and Petit discovered that the average molar specific heat at constant pressure for all metals, except the very light ones, is approximately the same and equal to nearly 25 J mole -1 o C -1 . Although the law is a..
