8th Class Science Notes- Pollution of Air and Water

8th Class Science Notes- Pollution of Air and Water

Air pollution is basically the occurrence of the chemical in the air in quantities which are harmful to human health and the environment.
The common air pollutants and their main sources:-
  • Particulate Matter: – It is made up of tiny particles suspended in air. Major particulate matter sources are volcanic eruption, dust storm, burning of fossil fuel in thermal plants and forest fire. They are also present in exhaust fumes of automobiles and power plants as soot, fly ash and lead particles.
  • Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – They are commonly used as coolants in refrigerators, air conditioners and as propellants in aerosol spray cans. They are also used in home insulation, plastic foam, and throwaway metallic cans.
  • Burning of fossil fuels- They are coal and petroleum in thermal power plants and automobile releases oxides of sulphur and nitrogen into the air.
  • Burning of carbon– Carbon-rich fuels such as firewood, coal, and petroleum releases carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
